Shadow Stalker closed the distance, placing herself at the intersection between the two bug-shrouded figures. Holding each crossbow out in an opposite direction, she fired at both targets at once, snapping her attention from one to the next in an attempt to see which reacted to the hit.
Huh, nice. Choosing all the shells at once is one way to find the prize, if it is actually there.
That said, Taylor could still have both shells react, regardless of whether she’s under one of them.
One slowed, began to topple. She lunged after, in pursuit, loaded her crossbow and fired two more shots into the center mass of Skitter’s body while airborne, then kicked downward with both feet as she landed, to shove the girl into the ground.
Except Taylor is clever and would know that you’d attack the one that reacted most visibly…
Her body weight dissolved the blurry silhouette into a mess of bugs. A trick.
Gotcha!
Snarling, Shadow Stalker wheeled around, ran in the direction the other half of the swarm had gone Had the girl’s armor taken the bolt? Had the crossbow shot missed?
Both are quite possible.
