She was in pursuit of the elf with the amulet too, though how a human wizard not affiliated with the elven group could have found out about this or who employed her was completely beyond them. After their exchange the human ran off, not wanting to waste any more time or answer any questions. The group slowly advanced east, heading in the direction of an open field. They debated which footprints to follow - an older set or the bounty hunter's muddy bootprints. As they came to a decision it would turn out not to matter, as every one of them heard an extremely loud sound and saw a flash as if lightening had struck, accompanied by an almighty thundercrack - but the sky was clear tonight, and the flash had come from a clearing on the other side of the field, directly northeast of them.
Elias was first to clear the field and sprint into the clearing, him and the rest of the group hearing another thundercrack come from just beyond the trees and then the bounty hunter's telltale accent shouting before going silent. As Elias managed to sprint in first he saw an elf clad in bright green and the bounty hunter sat leaning against a tree, her whole body smoking as if she'd been struck by lightening. The second the elf noticed him she waved her hand and he was blasted backward off his feet and right out of the clearing, slamming into the approaching group launched by a frighteningly powerful telekinetic grab.
Deare ran in backed by two other partymembers, his two scimitars ready to strike the elf as his companion - a human mage - leaped up and climbed the branches of a nearby tree, throwing her sword down at the elf who sidestepped it and waved her hand again using the powerful telekinetic grab to simply bat deare away with impressive ease. This allowed time for a drop down from the tree followed by a swift punch to the gut from the human mage, distracting the powerful elf arcanist for but a moment before she raised her hand and formed a barrier.
