He quickly finished his spell and let loose.Thalin drew Erifeci up instinctively to protect himself from the lance. He felt the tip punch against his chest. Thalin waited for the rending jolt, but instead heard the tinkling of glass. Looking up, Thalin saw the knight rush past as the shattered remnants of his lance crumbled from his gauntlet. Mikka winked at the mage before dashing to cover the knight’s path back to the wall.- - - - - - - - - -Milo loaded the next bolt quickly as he watched his first shot, which he had infused with a healthy dose of Tymora’s luck, zip to its target. The knight had collapsed onto the road. If I can see that, the whole wall can as well! Milo cocked his crossbow and contemplated his next move as he saw Dariel swoop over him and whip over the battlements at a great speed. Twisting to check his next target, Milo was dashed back against the snow as a bolt burrowed into his shoulder. With a shriek of pain, Milo dragged himself back into his meagre cover and uncorked a healing potion with his good arm. Isplit nudged out of his waistcoat with a squeak and pointed disapprovingly at his biscuit, which was snapped in two by the bolt.- - - - - - - - - -Vaerana glided sideways past the knight as he charged her down. Sliding her sword neatly into his side, she used her momentum to lever the rider from his mount. With a thud he crashed into the snow. The knight motioned frantically for Vaerana to halt, but her longsword cut a ragged breach through his neck guard.Thalin stalked over and dragged Vaerana back into cover. The wall horn bayed again, this time higher and more urgent. Thalin turned to address his companions."We must attack now," intoned Thalin, "any longer and all the defences of the wall will be ready to repel us. We could not overrun it with a hundred men.""Where the hell is Torious?" seethed Vaerana "Forget Torious, he'll make his own way, I'm sure. But whatever happens, we need..."Thalin's face flashed with a mix of suprise and horror as he suddenly convulsed and collapsed to the ground clutching his chest. Three quick wrenches of pain stabbed through Thalin. He felt as though a wolverine was writhing in his chest, biting its way out.- - - - - - - - - -High above the fort, Dariel’s limp form plummeted towards the ground. His feathers were charred black, a thin trail of smoke tracing his descent groundwards. The three fiery orbs which had sped up from the gatehouse had blown the owl clean out of the sky.</blockquote>
