Arachne (Black Mastiff)
The black down stood by the humans' side, watching as the spiders made a mess of the beastmen, and waiting to see how things would play out. 1 to maintain form.
Just enjoying the show for now.
9 (Ef) in Ninja into defense. (Total ph.defense: 20)
Black Mastiff (Hunting/Tracking 6, +2 Animal Senses, Fangs/Claws +2)

The force meanwhile is beset by an attack on the front multiple chariots pulled by huge mutant boars, along with a huge Cyclopian minotaur, and a giant with horns on it backing them up!

Arachne (Black Mastiff)
Now, not that killing Beastmen wasn't fun, but she had no idea where she was, why she was there, why *they* were there - humans or Beastmen - and randomly killing monsters wasn't exactly her thing. So the black hound remained behind for the moment, and proceeded to read the thoughts of the men around her to learn more about who they were, what they were doing there, and why. 1 to maintain my form;
16 in Master Spry (Mesmerism, Read Minds), to do so.

You scan them... They are soldiers for the Empire of Man on a mission into the Drakwald Forrest in order to purge the landscape of the most fowl Beastmen that rampage and destroy all civilization. They're General up in the front riding alongside a Group of Knights.

Arachne (Black Mastiff)
While on one hand, she didn't exactly give a damn about an Empire or another per se... she knew she could not do business with savage, barbarian species such as those monsters. It was best for her own interests if the humans came out victorious.
She decided to use another form, however, as even though her black dog appearance was impractical for such a fight, she did not want to reveal her true nature to those soldiers. Using a smoke bomb to cover her transformation - it wasn't like a cloud of smoke would be surprising in all the chaos already around her - she turned into a soldier similar to the others in the human forces so she could assist them directly without attracting too much attention. 2 in Ninjutsu (Smoke Bomb) to drop an AN 9, Area 2 smoke bomb to cover my shape shifting.
3 (Ef) in Shapeshifter (Shape Shifting) to turn into a soldier indistinguishable from these warriors. Preferably a woman if doing so is not out of place - i.e, if there's women in the group at all; otherwise she'll transform into a male soldier, with similar armor, clothes, and so on. Also using the ability of my sword, Agony, to appear as a different weapon as per Create Illusions AN 8 to appear as whatever slashing/piercing melee weapon these guys seem to use the most.

You manage to transform into one of the women in the Militia carrying a rapier, and an illusionary crossbow on your back.
"Here they come boys! Fire!" You Militia leader yells as everyone draws their crossbows and opens fire into a charging group of Minotaurs before they hit the nearby spearmen.

Arachne (♀ Empire of Man Soldier)
Enjoying this target practice opportunity quite a bit, she kept shooting, aiming to take out more and more minotaurs until the situation called for a change in tactics. Basically, repeating my stones to kill more minotaurs with precise bow shots.

You headshot five more Minotaurs with ease. The fifth shot managing to literally tear the head off the last one, and pin it's freaking head to a tree.
Just then you get grabbed from behind by a huge Cygor as it lifts you up ready to munch on your skull.

Arachne (♀ Empire of Man Soldier)
Arachne proceeded to slip out of its grasp thanks to the power of one of her magical rings. 12 (Ef) in Parkour +8 from my Ring of Unbound Spirit, all into escaping the huge creature's grasp.

You slip out and land on the ground as the beast roars in frustration and flails at you wildly to little effect like a blind person.

Arachne (♀ Empire of Man Soldier)
Upon being back on the ground, Arachne maneuvered around the giant's legs and stabbed its tendons, hopefully taking it down to the ground. 16 (Ef) in Ninja (Agony, Fighting larger opponents) plus 6 from Agony, into a 22 stones attack (2x damage, 3x damage VS Constructs/Undead, +2 to Critical Hit) VS the Cygor.

You slash at the beast's cloven legs bringing it down to one knee.

Arachne (♀ Empire of Man Soldier)
With the giant downed closer to her reach, the 'Imperial soldier' then attacked again, this time aiming at its neck if possible, or its stomach failing that.. 16 (Ef) in Ninja (Agony, Fighting larger opponents) plus 6 from Agony, into a 22 stones attack (2x damage, 3x damage VS Constructs/Undead, +2 to Critical Hit), aimed at the Cygor's throat/guts.
