Yup, that tattoo has some powerful magics going on. Zenaia can only do something like that once before she needs to 'recharge' (which involves a lot of rest and food). Which is why she didn't bust that out during the minotaur fight (and his speed took her by surprise).

Zenaia has some hidden tricks and the purpose of that tattoo is revealed. I tried real hard to make a cool fantasy bow that was also realistic and practical. That's hard to do, yo.

I actually had to fix this one up because I forgot all the background elements. So, it seems like Zenaia and Melanie are starting to bond through respecting each others' skills. But they're staying behind? Whatever for? (Noticing a pattern yet?)

Melanie issues a challenge to Zenaia. Basically a game of HORSE using the hydra heads as targets.

We rejoin the parties who have a new obstacle in front of them.

Kali has a clever counterspell. Good way to shut-down a bard.

Nic tries to scare the party off. Luckily, Kali knows how to counter the bard's spellcasting.
