Ziran Blueboots

Before Ziran has even exited the pass, he calls ahead "Elis died, they have lots of hidden archers. They were waiting. Dunno if they come now."

Whenever Ziran arrives, he places himself in the front rank of whatever defensive formation is being drawn up by the defenders, but on the far left, ideally so that he is not directly in front of the pass. Externally, he uses his charisma to project confidence in his sorcerous power to drop rank after rank of whatever enemies come through the gap. Inwardly, he's still cringing at the kind of firepower that can put that many arrows in the air at once, and thats just the ones that were on target. And his most deadly magic is barely longer in range than a good pike. He came all too close to being a target for a volley like that, and he wants to come no closer.
