Riyeko/Peony/Siana/Li/Carolina
Carolina allowed Li to lead her through the horde of undead. He was trying to protect her, and she made no secret of the fact that she was no fighter. Still, she wasn't completely useless.
When they stopped near three women Carolina didn't recognize, she took that brief pause as her chance. She raised her skirt and removed her dagger from its sheath on her thigh, transferring the worn and battered shield to her other hand. She hoped not to get close enough to any of them to have to use the dagger, but she felt better having it in hand just in case. Then she focused on one of the closer skeleton knights that was closing in on them and cast Paralyze.
The knight paused in its tracks, its legs and arms suddenly immobile. Carolina exhaled. She'd not been entirely certain which of her spells would work on these creatures. She did not know any fire spells, but she could slow them down long enough for Li to fight his way through them.
She would stay with him, doing what she could to help them get through this. They would either make it out of this unexpected battle, or they wouldn't, but Carolina wouldn't see Li go down—not while she had a breath in her body. She readied Paralyze again, aiming at another nearby undead knight.
