"Gah!" Deren cries out as he jumps back from the near hit. He grabs a knife and throws it, alerting the others as he does so: "There's more over here!" Grumbling, he mutters, "There's always more..." His blade twirls unerringly through the air, and sticks in the guard's eye, dropping him instantly to the ground.
Sir Merrick gets up with a grunt of thanks to the prophet cut off as he hears the clash of continued combat. His eyes narrow and he charges off to deal with the guardsman to the south, though he pulls up short as he sees the man fall!
"Aeron, I am afraid this one is beyond my skill. Please tend to him first." Shoon moves to the next injured guard, hoping to at least be able to do something for this one. "I wonder if the new foes will at least allow us to save their brethren from death..." he mutters.
Hearing voices coming up from the hallway and satisified that he's seen as much as his poor gnome eyesight will allow in the dark, Jinx stands his ground by the doorway, his back facing his companions in the room, his eyes on Ciaran's thicket of webbing to the west. With a low whisper, the gnome warns his companions of what approaches from up the hall. "They've got aid coming up from the west. Ciaran's web may hold most of them, and the others what as make it through that will have to face being put to sleep by me magic afore they can get to us in this room here. Just you's be ready to do yer part, though. Not that you hadn't already..." The gnome holds a hand aloft, readying to cast the spell he's held in reserve.
Without a word, Aeron steps by the fallen foes and tends to Shoon's wounds.
Zirat moves to stan shoulder to shoulder with Merrick.
A cry sounds from the south. "They killed Jorg! Pull back."
