A minute or so passed before Camo heard Talen shouting up to him from the valley below, requesting some support for their retreat. Mumbling curses at his overestimation of their chances, he picked himself up and prepared his weapon once more while dashing to the edge of the cliff to assess the situation. Both Talen and Tanner (he finally caught a mention of the swordsman's name in the chaos), and the latter applicant's partner was helping him to reach the face of the rock wall. All the while, Beowulves continued to rush out of the forest, an occasional Alpha visible within their growing throngs; without adequate support, the students would surely be overrun. As much as he hated the idea, he concluded that he owed it to them to ensure their safety, and that meant using everything he had left, arrows and Dust alike, to halt the enemy's advance.

Camo's first concern was to startle the enemy, and he employed some yellow Dust for this purpose. Rather than simply loading a vial onto his arrow, though, he coated the tip of the missile in a fine layer of the stuff before loosing it on the Grimm horde's front line. Three such arrows were fired in quick succession; the result was a quick barrage of strikes that flashed like white lightning and resounded like divine thunderclaps upon striking their targets. Hopefully, this would give the three initiates enough time to start climbing to their sanctuary; if not, the archer would groan in frustration and resort to another tactic...

In a similar manner to his lightning arrows, he would use blue Dust to anoint some of his arrows with an ice charge. Rather than aiming these at specific enemies, he would use four of these arrows to strike areas directly behind his comrades; successful shots would spread the coating of Dust on the ground and freeze it, slipping up any creature of Grimm foolish enough to put its weight on it. If this wasn't enough, he would only have three shots remaining to cover them any further, and he'd have to get creative to make any of them count...
