Meanwhile Upstairs...
The other people on the top floor appeared to be achieving very little. Aula fired into the front runners, then into the body of the attack as the enemy swarmed forward, picking her targets off one-by-one, though it was not fast enough. An arrow shattered the window overhead, showering her with broken glass that sliced across her left knuckle and cheek, but Aula didn't budge. If she took an arrow in the face... well it would hurt like hell but she'd wake up from the simulation. She just hoped that they never got into an actual situation like this. Another arrow whirred past her, embedding in the back wall of the bedroom. A third struck just below the window, quivering as it sank into the boards of the house.
By that point the first of the reptilians were out of her field of view, unless she stood up to fire down on them, though that would be a terrible idea. Another arrow zipped through the window as if to punctuate that point. Sooner or later she was going to get hit unless they could put some serious fire down on the attacking swarm, "Everyone upstairs, switch positions to fire on the attack!" she called, "Abandon watching the other angles!" No point guarding against a sneak attack from the rear if the frontal assault overwhelmed them.
Within moments the lizards would be at the windows downstairs...
