Hearing mumblings of common coming from ahead, Tyrius impulsively cast Expeditious Retreat on himself. Feeling a crossbow bolt fly at him Tyrius felt his spell fizzle out before it had really started. Deciding to retaliate in the biggest way possible he fired off his most powerful spell at a cluster of the attackers. Arcs of lightning came down upon a small group of them seeming to come from nowhere. As he did so, he felt something burst free within him, a sudden overwhelming heat as he seemed to stretch upwards, finally stopping with his head level with some of the trees nearby.
'Oh my gods, this is incredible.' Tyrius thought to himself as he saw with some satisfaction that a few of the bandits were now dead. Looking around, from his increased vantage point he saw a group of them standing behind some trees. 'Well, might as well stick with what works.' he thought as he fired off another spell towards the group of bandits stood in the trees, bringing more lightning down upon them. Concentrating for a second, he felt like he could cast another spell almost as if he'd only cast two and not three. Once he was ready to cast again, there was just one lone bandit left, quaking a little at the sight of a ten foot tall man staring at him. Tyrius had little sympathy. 'Should have chosen a better profession than highway robbery.' Tyrius thought as he fired the spell, a burst of thunder coming right down on top of the bandit and frying them.
With the fighting done, Tyrius made himself useful, feeling as if the giant form would drop any moment by quickly gathering up all the bodies he could carry and placing them at Eliza's feet, figuring they'd be easier to scavenge from that way. As he returned to normal size, he rummaged in some of the pockets, carefully putting things to the side as he did so. A few gems and a small symbol that looked vaguely similar to Ander's. "Ander, any idea what this is of?" Tyrius asked, holding the symbol up.
