A small bead of fire left his hand.BooooMMMmm.The fireball exploded in the midst of the spellcasters. Alya hummed and winked out of existence. Sully returned fire with lightning. Carl was staggered. Several brief motes also flashed just outside the wall and inside the courtyard. Arendel called on another wave of fire. The heavens opened and a torrent of flame struck poor Carl. He was dead before it registered. Darian redirected his magic outside the walls. A loud crash and then silence. Himool gained the wall. He would be on Sully in a few more moments. Fiddle and Calrom hit him with arrows.No word or sign from Alya. Sully assumed pixie form. He moved away from the threat Himool posed. Still no rogues, nor the priestess of Tymora. Arendel directed a torrent of hail to fall on the courtyard to prevent unhindered passage into the Moathouse. It also partially struck Himool and the area just outside on the drawbridge. Darian hit Himool with another burst of sound. Himool leapt off the wall for safety. He tripped and landed in a heap. "Arendel, someone is climbing up the wall over here," Darian shouted.Darian had also prepared a muddy trap earlier to help find invisible trespassers. But the area was well out of candle light. As a matter of fact the only places lit were the coin on Fiddle's belt and the lantern next to Darian. Fiddle put away his bow and drew his blades. Dorek appeared. The dwarf nicked Fiddle with his heavy axe and missed with the lighter one. A fighter after Fiddle's own heart. It would be a shame to kill him. Calrom fired at Dorek.Alya was quiet. Sully gained altitude and riddled Himool with bolts of magic. Arendel also took to wing. Whether he cast another spell or not Fiddle couldn't tell. Darian cast a spell of his own. The elven lass appeared. She stabbed at the priest. Three small badgers came into being behind her. Dorek took another swipe at Fiddle, before turning to flee."Surrender," Fiddle called back. "I might be able to save your life."Fiddle stabbed under the dwarf's guard with Lightning Strike as a parting shot.  Calrom dropped his bow and drew his rapier. He ran for Fiddle's light and landed poorly. Fiddle continued after the Dorek and buried his sword to the hilt in the dwarf's back."Oh, well," Fiddle helped Calrom up. As far as he was concerned it was over. He and Calrom searched the corpse.Oona jumped off the wall and to the safety of the reeds. She swam the moat. And....somewhere along the way Darian, Sully, and Arendel finished off the Band of the Burning Brand. The priestess of Tymora had collapsed just outside the gate. She hadn't even been in one second of the fight. Alya winked into existence again, too. He was badly frozen and burned. But he was alive, just not conscious.</blockquote>
