In all honesty Lara was hoping to be in and out of the long lost colony of Roanoke like it was nothing more than a routine shopping trip to the mall, but it seemed as though the poor Croft could never catch a break when it came to treasure hunts. No matter what kind of treasure hunt she was partaking in at the moment, whether it be an easter egg hunt like when she was younger and trying to live a normal life or even something in Tibet or Egypt, it was as if trouble wanted to follow her. She remembered this one Easter when she was about nine and painting eggs, well apparently a very expensive egg-shaped jewel stone had been stolen and Lara had somehow ended up with it and painted it a beautiful array of pastel purples, pinks and blues that covered up any evidence of it being what it was and when it was found out to be what it was the police showed up and ruined Easter. It wasn't as if she wanted to find trouble in the thing she loved doing most, or in life in general, but it was like trouble was stalking her from every crevice in the universe it could crawl into then lash out at her in the hopes that it would be able to make her stumble. It never did succeed and never would succeed in making her trip or fall or be so caught off guard that she made a fatal mistake, but Lara had to say she was a little more than surprised when not only did she find that Roanoke's entire population had been turned into tricked out zombies that continued onward as a civilization and even procreated but that they also could form into a giant monster.
Lara looked to the quirky girl and scoffed at the name they got called before effortlessly kicking herself up from the ground and watching the monster slowly grow as more zombie... things attached themselves to the heavy creature. Honestly she had hoped that there wouldn't have been anything extra added onto this but the fact that the creature was still growing was slightly worrisome to her as she had no idea what awaited the slowly forming group inside. "Gladly, and the name's Lara." She said in her eloquent British accent when the Croft notched a rope arrow and climbed to the top of a nearby building within the span of a few seconds in the hopes she could get a better shot and a better overview of the battlefield they were in. Lara was glad that she had been conserving her arrows and making well placed, high impact strategic sniper shots instead of wasting them one use arrows that did little to no good against an enemy as numerous as this. Lara aimed her bow at the monster, arrow in place, as she sorely wished that she had her rope ascender right now so that the high powered device could simply pull the creature a little closer to them or get its attraction with a tug but she'd have to make due with explosions and armor penetrating arrows.
She held the stance for nine seconds, activating the first three second charge that could be applied to any arrow and then charging up the penetrating arrow so that when it flew forward it would pack a massive punch. The first charge doubled the power, and in this case radius, of any arrow and its little perks and the second charge simply made sure that it got well lodged within anything that it was being aimed at so that they couldn't really bother anyone ever again. That was when Lara imbued the arrow with explosive qualities through activation of the biometrics that registered nerve impulses and then told the advanced nanotech on her arrows what to do and how to do it. The Tomb Raider had never really needed to make a combo this powerful despite all of the situations she'd been in, you see she never really had to face a zombie horde nor something as powerful as this horrid thing that she and her new found friend were facing now. Even though it would take more than a few of these to take the creature down the shot had more than got their attention and while trying to repair the damage the creature began moving to the target location.
