Both sides sustained damage in the first exchange, but there were no fatalities.
After a brief respite, the Holy Archers and Elemental Druids resumed their attacks as before.
The Holy Archers resumed their focused fire. They could see that the Porcupine-man they had previously targeted was now being protected by its comrades, and they knew their attack hadn't delivered the killing blow they had hoped for.
But what did it matter?
The targeted Porcupine-man had undoubtedly lost its ability to fight for a short time. Seeing it being protected like that, they figured another focused volley would kill it. It was simply a matter of one more attack.
Moreover, they were prepared this time. After firing a volley, they immediately relocated, and the quills reflected by the Steel-backed Porcupines all plunged into the ground.
