.Tinok is standing at the passage entrance, listening for pursuit.He turns and says, “They’re coming.” Suddenly two knives flash into his hands as he stands ready.Jiron takes up position next to him and two knives appear like magic in his hands as well, flashing in the reflected candle light.He looks to Tinok and says, “You ready?”“Yeah,” Tinok replies with an evil grin.“Let’s get it on!”They stand there to either side of the doorway, James and the girls stand a little ways back from them.Suddenly an enemy soldier comes into the room, sword out, and Tinok closes with him.The soldier sees him and strikes with his sword.Tinok easily deflects the blade with one knife while following through with a thrust with the other, piercing the man’s chest and puncturing his heart.The soldier slides lifelessly off his blade to the floor as another soldier comes through the doorway, into the room.Jiron takes this one and almost as fast as Tinok, dispatches him.“You’re getting slow, Jiron,” Tinok says as he closes with the next one to come in.Knives flash and another body sinks to the floor.The next soldier to come through is carrying a shield along with a sword and closes with Jiron.Jiron deflects the thrust of the sword with one knife as the shield comes and crashes into his chest, pushing him back further into the room.The soldier advances on him when all of a sudden one of his legs goes out and he crashes to the floor.Tinok had hamstrung him from behind as the soldier was closing in on Jiron.Jiron presses the soldier as he lies there on the ground, blocking a cut from the sword and avoiding the shield.He gets inside the man’s defenses and slits his throat.He looks up to see Tinok battling another one.“Don’t need any help,” Jiron says to Tinok with a grin.“Sorry,” Tinok replies, “I’ll try not to save your life next time.” His knives flash and another soldier falls to the floor.Suddenly there’s a pause as no more soldiers come through the opening.Tinok turns to James and says, “Alright Mr.Mage, you got any ideas?”James suddenly realizes that he had been watching the fighting, awestruck at the relative ease in which they’ve been taking out the soldiers and not thinking about the situation at all.Red faced, he begins pondering the situation instead of wool gathering.Another soldier enters, a veritable giant of a man.Standing easily a head taller than either Jiron or Tinok, covered in armor from head to toe, with a long shield on his left arm, he enters the room and immediately engages Jiron.The man’s sword is enormous and Jiron is unable to get inside his defense.The blows from his sword pack enormous power and when Jiron blocks a slash aimed at his midsection, his knife is knocked out of his hand, leaving it tingling.Tinok is unable to go to his aid as he is fighting with another soldier, this one of a more regular size but carrying a shield.The soldier begins pushing Tinok back as another soldier enters the room.James makes his mind up and releases the power.The ground begins to shake and from the passage leading from the room, they can hear a roar as the ceiling of the passage crashes down on those still within it.A cloud of dust fills the room as Tinok and Jiron battle the three soldiers that had made it in before the collapse.The bull of a man is pressing Jiron, who now only has one knife and is reluctant to close with him.He’s trying to stay just out of reach and stall for time, hoping that Tinok can finish with his two and come to his aid.James scans the room but the only stones he can find to use are the ones near the collapsed passageway, and he is unable to reach them due to the fighting.He tries to think of some sort of a spell he can use when he sees Jiron fall to the ground and the man raise his sword to finish him off.Cassie screams.Seeing his chance, he releases the power and the man is picked up and thrown against the wall.Bones can be heard breaking as he connects with it.He slides to the ground, the tapestry that had once hung on the wall, falls with him, covering him as if it’s his death shroud
