Riyeko/Peony/Siana/Li/Carolina
Li was worried about her, but Carolina wasn't worried for either herself or for Li. He was a competent fighter, he knew, although she had been with him long enough to know that he often put himself in harm's way and frequently suffered injuries because of it. She wasn't a fighter—she said it often enough. She was, however, a seasoned survivor. She'd been in many fights, and she'd never failed to survive a single one.
She stood behind Li so that he could take the brunt of the attack, and she fired off Slow and Paralyze spells as fast as she could. Some missed, but most hit, buying Li and the others a bit of time.
She knew that the skeleton mages would soon realize where she was and attack her in spite of Li's presence in front of her. She couldn't go without being attacked forever. In spite of that knowledge, however, she was unprepared for the Thunder attack when it came. It seared her entire body with pain, and stole the breath from her lungs.
As soon as she regained control of her shaking limbs, Carolina cast Life Drain at the mage who had attacked her, drawing its life force out of its body and into herself. Immediately, she felt better, and she went back to casting Slow at the knights surrounding their party.
