This way everyone. I suggest that I blast the guard from surprise, and then light up the tent. You all finish the guard and kill those emerging from it. Rose, Fausto and myself are maybe the best at hand to hand, while seren and nahia handle spell support. Remember, they must all die. Look like someone else just to be safe. This should be fun.
Mysty heads off towards the distant camp. Just before arrival she draws her daggers.

You approach the camp and to see now that the rangers are talking to each other, near the fire.
They were rangers on watch. There was no way they were going to miss the group's approach. The best they could hope for was to catch them off guard before they could react.
Rose approached with her hammer in her shield hand and a large sharpened pentagram in the other. As Mysty rushed forward, Rose took a leading step for momentum and let fly at the closest ranger.
Seren concentrates for a moment, reaching for the dead lying patiently under the ground. She grins as she feels a response from the clearing.
Clearly they were not the first group to attempt to ambush this group of rangers.
Creaks and snaps awaken the skeleton from its eternal slumber, clawed hands digging through the dirt to the freedom above. As tortured eyes open to the sun, he can feel the all encompassing manipulation of his master. He sets his eyes on the group before him, death glinting in its glowing red eyes.
When Nahia sees the blades start to fly, she turns towards Rose, places her hand upon her, and begins to chant: "Success comes through focus, focus is the measure of desire, desire comes from within..." Upon the completion of the quick prayer, Nahia takes a step towards the camp.
"I'm a big fan of desire…" Rose said quietly, winking behind her helm.
The inquisitor relished on the upcoming killing. He drew his shortbow back, sighted, and let it fly almost at the same time.
His superior insight allowed Fausto to act first. He then called on his Dark Lord's blessing before moving closer to the men. Profane energy coursing through his body, he shot another arrow at the man standing.
Using your advantage over the rangers, Fausto shoot one of his enemies and the same one is almost killed by Rose’s chakram.
Meanwhile, Mysty try to remain hidden while getting closer to the guard.
Seren takes the opportunity to raise a skeleton near the horses.

The other that remain drawn his bow while screaming on top of his lunges
EDIT: x Hide DC 26
But taken by surprise, he is unable to hit Fausto and see Mysty getting closer..
Nahia takes a step towards the camp, turns towards her companion, and begins to sway her arms, torso and hips, almost dancing, while slowly chanting:
”Weak flesh, hear my words: Look inward at your intense spirit and taste of its grandeur.”
With a final motion, Nahia will draw forth a handful of iron powder, hold it in her upturned palm, lean towards her companion, and blow the dust towards them with a grin. Suddenly, they will shine with a pale golden light, a silhouette of their form begins to radiate outward, at first twice their size, and then their body begins grow, continuing until they fill their own great projection.
Round one: Rangers
You hear surprised shouts from the tents and noises as if someone had just awaken startled.
Other than that, nothing more happens.
Rose moves forward with a measured stride, drawing another bladed ring-star and winging it toward the remaining bowman.
Round one: Ryan
Inside the tent, doing what heroes do inside a tent.
Red eyes fixated on the lone guardmen in sight, the skeleton charges forward.
Seren mentally wills her minion forward, knowing that the stealth was no longer a concern.
She looks both direction quickly, and then heads towards the horses, figuring they ought to at least provide some slight cover.
she pauses for a moment, collecting her magical energies.
Fausto kills one of the rangers with his bow.
The ranger shouts, alerting they are under attack.
The other rangers wake up surprised with the shout.

Round two Mysty: throws a alchemist fire at the larger tent.
Round two Rangers: You still hear noise and shouts from the tents, but no one went outside yet.
The ranger takes a step back, putting a small distance between him and the skeleton, and take another shoot, this time at Rose.
ut the arrow hit her armor, leaving her unharmed.
Nahia watches as Rose's chakram makes a solid hit and mutters under her breath "... Therefore success comes from within."
Nahia moves towards Mysty, taking a position next to her, and places a hand on her shoulder while again chanting "Success comes through focus, focus is the measure of desire, desire comes from within..."
Rose moves up next to the smaller tent, swapping her axe to her main hand as an arrow plinks off her armor.
Feeling something stir inside, the inquisitor once more draws his bow and releases. The arrow burying deep in the guard's throat, strangling his cry for help.
Fausto then moves and is itching to draw his axe but finds no one on which to unleash his fury. The thought of a trap briefly crosses his mind and the inquisitor panics for a second when he feels magic coursing through his body.
The stubborn man grits his teeth and resists whatever curse his enemies released on him.
Fausto Moves and shoot dead the last ranger.
Rangers inside the tent are still preparing to get out.

The skeleton can feel his masters satisfaction as the second ranger falls dead. A cursory look around and he can find no more rangers outside, but his master is still demanding more death. He watches slowly as a ball of fire erupts on one of the tents. Attacks to the tent must mean people within. He starts his movement towards the alight tent, his master giving little care of his safety.
Fury burns in his eyes as he claws viciously again at the soldier.
The image had played in her dreams long enough, and the threat seemed contained for the moment, with her minion playing havoc in the rangers tent. She looks down the horse line, seeking out the captain's mount.
A Ranger Captain surely must have the best horse of the group.
Consumed with hatred as the beast shrugged off her initial attack Seren ups the power of the foul energy she pours into the beast.
Round three: Rangers
The noise you hear gets louder and louder until from the tent near Rose, two rangers, without armor and using only a sword emerges.
One of then, surprise with you so near screams in rage and try to attack you.
But he is unable to hit.
From the larger tent, you hear more panicked noises, now it is on fire.
However, no one emerges.
Round three: Horses
Seren walk near the most beautiful and strong horse of the lot, and try two times to attack in, succeeding in her second attempt.
The horse, shrieks in pain and attacks Seren.
but none of the hits.
Nahia is surprised when she feels the, unfortunately, familiar feeling that her target has resisted her magic. She ponders on it for a moment...
Why would Fausto resist? Maybe he doesn’t have the ability to not resist? There aren’t even any metal cobras around to be concerned about…
… but puts it out of her mind when she sees the rangers running out to attack Rose. Nahia walks towards them while cooing ”Woken from a dream into a nightmare? Do you really want to face this? You don’t have to... you can easily escape from this back to your bliss. It’s easy, just go back to sleep...”
?
The inquisitor sees some of the rangers come out and draws his bow again.
Sighting the man next to Rose, he releases.
Fausto, with no one to aim his anger, stays ready to shoot the first ranger to leave the tent, and in doing so, he shoot the one that Rose had hit earlier, dropping him dead.
Rangers, some of then left the unburning tent just to be attacked by Rose and Fausto.
The other rangers, are still creaming now, after the skeleton went in, the noises became more frantic.
Nahia target the remaining ranger with a slumber hex but he fails and is asleep.

From the burning tent more two rangers emerge. Both using swords, and one already bleeding and hurt, with claw marks over his body.
Nahia can’t help but laugh mockingly when she sees the ranger drop. And when she sees the new threats emerging from the other tent, she begins to walk closer to the campfire, its light half exposing her form, her hair and clothes moving about to a breeze that isn’t there. With a devious grin and a gesture towards her companions, Nahia begins to coo towards the rangers, ”Fire on one side and monsters on the other… at least your companion had the sense to take a few moments of pleasure before death… Do you really want your last moments to be those of fear and panic and pain? Make it easy on yourselves and join your companion in tranquil slumber…”
Seren can feel the joy of her skeletal minion moments before she feels the connection sever, her minion sent back to the hell it came from. Seren looks around indecisively, unsure whether to finish her selfish task or help her companions with the outpouring of rangers.
They seem to have this in hand, and none of my companions appear to be injured. I'm sure I've got a couple of seconds to finish this.
Seren stares at the injured beast before her fully enthralled as she lets a shiver course through her body, feeling the negative energy building for another discharge into the majestic creature.
"You will be mine."
Rose switches direction in a vicious backhand that brought the axe end of her weapon back into the ranger in front of her.
"Aw, poor boy. Just drop the sword and give up. It will all be over soon."
[ooc]Then move 20 feet towards the other group.
Rose jogged over to the tent and swung the axe end of her weapon across in a wide arc.
"Just stop fighting, boys. You're making yourselves look bad."
The inquisitor moves closer to the tent and relishes when he sees some of the rangers come out. He drops his bow and hefts his axe, chopping down on the same motion.
The captain of the watch wall leaves the burning tent dragging their captive. Even though that person deserved death for his crimes, it was not his position to judge. His mission as to bring his prey to Lord Thomas, and then his fate would be decided. But he was not prepared to see himself surrounded and all his friends dead, for a moment, he could not think of anything ”Mother forgive me…”
Rose and position herself to attack both rangers, but is attacked while running.
And attack both of them, dropping the one near the door.
Fausto moves closer and attack the ranger but miss.
Nahia try to hex the left ranger. putting him to sleep.
Mysty gets closer and kill the last sleeping ranger.
From the burning tent, Ryan gets out, unarmored, dragging a tied person. He exclaims in surprise when he sees himself surrounded and all the other rangers killed.
Seren takes her time to kill the horse.

Rose grinned behind her faceplate. Her eyes glowed red and the inverted pentacles on her armor and hammer surged with the power of The Father Below. The black knight stood before the captain as an affront to all he held dear.
"Captain Ryan, you have been judged and found wanting. Your mother may forgive you, but she cannot save you now. Die."
The word captain stirs something fierce in Fausto.
He steps up and swings his axe in a diagonal meant to cleave the man in two.
Watching the horse finally drop dead, a wicked smile crosses her face.
"Wait don't kill him yet! I would have hate for him to miss this, I know how much ranger's do love their mounts." Seren yells at her companions, aligning herself over the felled animal.
From her pocket she produces a single onyx and begins to chant.
Nahia can't help but continue her mocking laugh as the rangers fall to her companions. And when the Captain shows himself, Nahia's laugh turns to a giggle as her long tongue comes out to lick around her lips and she says "Don't worry, you and your men will be put to good use! Those of you that don't make for suitable warriors I'm sure will make a delicious meal."
And at that moment, the Captain begins to hear voices inside of his head:
We can't stand up to them!
Even in death we won't be safe!
It's your fault that this happened!
You were too weak!
Just go ahead and let them kill you!
