Imani slides behind the steering wheel and concentrates on the catbus, returning it to its catwing form. "Listen, I've been in the dark about nearly every damn aspect of my life for the past month." She lifts her hands as the steering wheel and dash slither and snake into something like a helicopter instrument panel. "I've been carted to the other side of the planet, I've been snarked at by the Dos Equis guy, and- oh yeah! I was impaled by an arrow the size of a tree trunk last night." She slams the throttle, and catwing leaps into the air. "Let's all stop talking and kick some werewolf ass."
With that, the cat wing stretches, revs, and leaps off into the sky. As you climb the air, you see that the area is remarkably quiet for what you would expect of a werewolf king. The temple mount seems almost... calm and at peace. In a word, it’s serene. The cat wing hangs in the air over the temple. It is quite a beautiful sight, a golden-domed building sits in the middle of a large, empty complex. Walls rise up on the outside of it and there are entire courtyards of tended trees and smooth stonework. You briefly peer from the sky to see Rider at the edge of the wall, looking down at what appears to be a small campsite that has been made at the outskirts of one of the courtyards. It’s inside the walls of the complex, but separate from the temple grounds. Rider seems to have the attention of two people at the camp.
Roughly about 500 feet in the air, within the far range of your sniper rifle, with the disadvantage being canceled out by the advantage of being unseen.

Sarai can through her scope, otherwise it’s a bit far to make out detail. One is a man, roughly in the prime of life but with an older bearing to himself, with olive hair and tan skin. His hair is well kept, as his is beard. He wears a mixture of heavy, hooded attire (as one would expect of those out in the wilderness) and bronze armor plates that cover his shins, thighs, torso, shoulders, and forearms. In one hand, he holds a large bronze shield. Meanwhile, summoned to his other hand and pointed toward Rider, is a leaf sword of incredible design. The hilt is made from various multicolored stones leading to the cross guard which seems to have the faces of two creatures molded on it. A rib-like pattern continues up alongside the blade. The blade itself, if one could call it that, is like a piece of shattered glass that has been refined and sharpened into a blade. It glows with its own internal light as if a fraction of sunlight has been trapped inside it like amber. Meanwhile, the blade’s edge is ignited into white flame. The man himself seems to have a steely glare.
Sarai shifts her scope to a woman of similar appearance to herself, no doubt a native. She has short, cropped, dark hair and darker skin with light freckles. Her eyes are an unnatural shade of blue, yet carry fear and hesitation in them. She has modern apparel with a plain shirt, a jacket overtop, and some jeans. Additionally, she’s also wearing several rings. She does not looking nearly as resolved, if somewhat pained actually.
Sarai relates this to the others. And also, "The Master looks... uncomfortable. I hesitate to blame her for the carnage at the base..." She knows it is simplest to take out Saber by taking out his Master, and yet. "Are we certain of killing her?" she asks the crew.

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.
Imani thinks back to her reading for the psych II course she just finished last month. In the Milgram experiment, test subjects were presented with a scenario in which increasing levels of violence were accepted and encouraged by the researchers. The people on the receiving end of those tests were just actors, but...
But this is real. This isn't some fairy king or demi god we're talking about killing. She's someone like me...
She does her best to quash her queasiness. "Let's hold off, Sarai. Monkeyman and the Power Ranger can duke it out for a bit- we'll provide support from the air. Let's focus our attention on the werewolves that are bound to turn up. Virgil-" She summons the frog with a pop. "Head down there and listen in, okay?"
Virgil takes a nose dive off of the door of the cat wing. He plummets in his little bird form before vanishing from view via invisibility. Meanwhile, Assassin stands, yawns, and falls back as she becomes ethereal. One leisurely sky dive later and Assassin materializes on the ground, fully cloaked using her innate ability. Rider casts a glance to the direction of Virgil, but does not dwell on the area. He continues the conversation he was having with Saber as he stands to his full height and levels his staff toward Saber’s direction,
”As the Rider servant, I cannot allow you to continue terrorizing the fair people of this city. Your reign ends here, you monstrous tyrant!” Rider lowers to himself into a combative stance. Meanwhile, Saber braces himself for impact, “You are brazen, Rider, to attack me in this place. You still have not answered me, why do yo-“
Rider launches forward, “STARTING NOW!”
And like that, the clash of titans begins! Are any of you getting involved?

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Caster's hair stands on end as he mutters some arcane words under his breath. A spiral cloud expands out of thin air overhead, and a powerful lightning strike follows, hitting the ground behind Saber (hitting him, avoiding the others down there).
Call Lightning level 5, DC 22 DEX save for half damage: 26 lightning damage
The lightning bolt carves through the evening sky, arcing down toward Saber. However, as it strikes near him, the bolt collides with an invisible wall of protection. Caster takes a moment to remember this effect, possibly cursing the skill under his breath, Magic Resistance. Saber, in the midst of preparing to block Rider’s attack, looks in the direction of the bolt. However, he doesn’t immediately notice Caster.

"You do realize that they would kill us," Oz gestures to himself and Imani, "If given half a chance. In fact, one servant has already tried to kill us and would have succeeded without magical intervention. I'm not usually for murdering innocent people, but master's aren't exactly innocent by the simple fact that they are masters. This one is particularly not innocent, because werewolves. Also, we're in a war. People die in wars. I was told that when I agreed to try and summon you."
