The moment that they stepped into what had once been a grand hall, lined with statues of various beasts, the Manticore attacked.
Poison gas filled the room, obscuring their vision, and the Manticore launched an attack on what it thought was the most vulnerable of them.
Remi.
She was not a large Naga, and the Forest Lord was being protected by the Dryad Queens. So, it had hoped to get the advantage and launch a sneak attack.
Only, it wasn't the one doing the ambushing.
The moment that it struck, Remi twisted and coiled around its midsection, then bit it on the back of the shoulder, injecting it with Naga Venom.
Remi quickly realized that the Manticore was just as immune to poison as she was, and changed her tactics, using four daggers to do her best Rae imitation and stab holes in the target, which was hopelessly unable to dislodge her with her serpentine body wrapped around its midsection.
