Andy is momentarily stunned as a multitude of brutoks erupt from the trees. Obviously this is what she came out here expecting, but she's been following leads like this for years and to actually find something...

Her heart racing, she quickly turns towards Lucas, just in time to see him somehow tractor beam a branch into his hand. As he tosses it her way, she reflexively catches it, but now she's distracted. "Wait, how did you do that--"

"Oh, shit," now remembering the brutoks, she quickly spins in their direction, branch held out like a makeshift sword. She swipes firmly toward a brutok that's wandering closer, but it's still too far to hit. "I can't believe I'm about to play Whac-A-Mole with magic tree creatures!"

"I'll explain later, promise!" Lucas feels momentarily bad that he sprung that on her without warning but they're in the thick of it now.

"Whack-a-Mole sounds about right," Lucas agrees, brandishing his stick at a pair of hissing tree fiends. He puts both hands to the stick and twists at his hips. "But you know what I'm thinking? A little golf would be a fun!"

Channeling his inner Tiger Woods, Lucas unleashes a golf swing that would never strike a ball at the tee but does send one brutok off into the brush again. "Four!"

Andy fails to stifle a laugh as Lucas forcibly propels a brutok back into the trees. "Well then, here goes nothing," she says to herself as she steps forward, swinging her branch wildly in the direction of a group of the creatures. Her eyes reflexively snap shut as she swings, but they jerk open as Andy feels the branch make contact. One brutok flies backward, but several more advance forward in its place.

Andy points her stick at them defensively. "One down, a hell of a lot more to go!"

"She shoots, she scores, and the crowd goes wiiiiild!" Lucas whoops, adding in a fake crowd noise afterwards for the full effect. Too bad more of the brutok are here to ruin the party.

"You'll be alright," He flashes a reassuring smile and takes a few steps backwards so they're standing back to back. "Just keep swinging and don't stop!"

He'll take his own advice, too. As more brutoks join the fray Lucas swings again and sends two of them back into the woods, but he's mostly trying to keep an eye out for Andy...just in case.
