Archer, having recovered from the shock of the attacks, sighs deeply. The pelts regenerate to their natural state as he states tall once more. Archer resummons his bow to his hands, “You know, my master had requested that I not engage any servants directly tonight. I didn’t much care for her opinion. However, I think that she would appreciate my effort in removing two masters and their servants from this war, despite the mana that it will cost her. Therefore,” Archer loads an arrow into his bow, which clicks and expands mechanically. Harsh golden light glows from the designs as Archer draws his arrow back,
”Lo, Strike God, O Great Arrow of the First Crowned King. Empty the Fields of His Creation, for I, The Great Hunter Before God, Deem So. Let There Be No Beast Among The Earth That I Not Strike In My Rage. Let None Hide From My Fury. Behold, My Noble Phantasm-“
The end of the arrow flares like a rocket engine with intense golden prana,
”SPEAR OF NINURTA!”
Archer releases his arrow with detonating force. It streaks in a golden flash toward Assassin and picks up speed as it flashes behind her. If streaks across the plains as it passes through the stones in a line. It flashes behind Oscar and, just as it reaches Imani, becomes an arrow once more. Attack: 27 Damage: 15 magic piercing damage + 99 force damage. Meanwhile, each of those impacted along the way must make a DC 22 Dex Save or take 103 force damage, or half on a success.
Caster once again takes off like a bullet, catching up with archer (39 feet away) and waves his hand, creating seven starlike motes that encircle his head like a diadem, illuminating Caster, Archer, and everything around for many yards.
”Harken, dog! I heard you like crowns, so I have a crown for your crown.”
(Casting crown of stars and expending one immediately as a bonus action to attack Archer.)
Spell Attack: 16 Damage: 31 radiant
One of the motes suddenly flies from Caster at great speed, careening towards Archer with exceptional force.
"That went well," says Warbeak to nobody in particular. She jumps up from her prone position, speaks a few words in a sibilant language, and makes a motion towards Imani's crumpled form. A mote of light coalesces above her, then opens like a small hole, and two dozen small, ghostly sparrows rush through, landing on Imani in a small flock. Her wounds are soothed, and her eyes flutter open. Warbeak rushes away, headed for the battleground where Oz and Assassin lay still.
Bonus Action: Cast Healing Spirit with a 3rd level slot, healing Imani for 9 hit points Move: Stand up for half movement, then run towards Oz and Assassin. Action: Dash towards Oz and Assassin, for a total move of 45'

Caster summons a thunder step, wherein he vanishes and leaves a booming wave in his wake. Appearing moments later much closer to Archer, he commands another of the motes from the crown of stars to strike his enemy...
Spell Attack: 29 Damage: 22 radiant!
Without pausing, he follows the streaking mote to fly after Archer, the windstorm swirling round him all the while.
”NIMROD!” Caster bellows in a mocking tone. “Where is the ‘great hunter’ going? You can’t outrun me. I thought you were about to show us your fury...COWARD!”
The strike hits, but is absorbed into material of the pelt. Nimrod shouts back, “I can easily outrun you! Meanwhile, your master and the girl are of heartier breed than I thought! However, are you sure that leaving your master to bleed out is the wisest choice, Caster? I doubt you’d last long without a source of mana!”

Imani awakens with a gasp and and bolts upright into a long sit. It takes her a moment to find her bearings, but... Arrow, big hit, healing sparrows, fleeing Archer... Got it.
A whisper from The City and Imani knows what she has to do. She looks over to Sarai, "I'm guessing you saved me? Thank you, sister." She gestures to the sparrows. "I'll need to borrow your friends for a minute. Don't let the others die, okay?"
And with that, she opens a door in the air... (Dimension Door)
...And arrives, still sitting, on the ground exactly 170 feet in the path of the Archer. It's been a funny old week. A shitty, strange, funny old week. She plucks something from around her neck and tosses it a good twenty feet in the Archer's direction.
The sparrows chirp, apparently unconcerned. "I'm counting on you guys. Think you're up for this?"
Warbeak races across the scrub, her mind whirling. She closes the distance to Oz and Assassin, getting almost all the way there, but not quite. Nevertheless, she gasps out a few words and motions, and the healing flock of sparrows winks out of existence around Imani, and forms again around Assassin, landing on her inert body.
Move: 30' closer, to 45' Action: Dash 30' closer, to 15' Bonus Action: Cast Healing Spirit (range 60') over Assassin, so that at the start of her next turn, she is healed 5 hit points.

The spiritual birds that were next Imani all vanish as they are resummoned to Assassin’s side.
Meanwhile, Archer’s turn. First, let us see if he can determine what that thing is! His eyes focus as he mutters, “Privilege of Man.” (Perception: 38). He sees that it is a very tiny rook. He is puzzled for a moment, it would seem that he is communicating telepathically (Arcana: 25). He stops running towards it. He sighs, “Well, it would seem that I have indeed underestimated them, my master. Perhaps, I shall take your advice with greater understanding in the future. If you would.” He sits down and, in an instant, vanishes.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The flock of cloudy spirit sparrows go wake up Oz, then flit back and forth between Assassin and Oz, healing them until a minute is gone past and they fade away.
Oz is healed for 29 hit points. Assassin is healed for 36 hit points (in addition to the 5 from earlier)

As Oz is healed, he wakes up screaming like a little girl again. As he realizes he isn't dead and as he wounds begin to heal, he laughs like a madman. When the group returns, his face darkens...
"What was that?!" He turns to Imani and Sarai "The plan was Caster engage, Assassin kill, mortals hide. We lost all advantage almost instantly from engaging recklessly and now everyone knows we're a team!" He turns to Caster. "And you! Why wouldn't you tell us he is immune to bullets and low level spells? We all almost died!"
At the end of his tirade, he collapses to the ground and puts his face in his hands.
