"The flank works fine for me as well," Adrian says, before turning to Brannik. "You should take Chloë and Kass with you, then. A burst of magic and a giant hammer is the first thing they see, then we can hopefully catch them off guard from the side." Chloë nods in agreement with the man as he makes his suggestion, walking towards Brannik as Adrian steps closer to Wes.

Brannik nods, satisfied. "Good plan. Just be ready to get to us if we bite off more than we can chew. Gemma?"

"Yeah, boss?"

"You ready?"

She smirks. "Always."

"Don't do anything I wouldn't do," he warns. "I expect to see you on the other side of this without a scratch."

Gemma nods back, her shield ready and her spear leading the way toward the flank.

"Try not to have all the fun without us," Wes says with a smirk as he makes his way towards the side exit.

"We'll save plenty for you," Kass says, waving her cousin off as they make ready for battle.

"Gods! Adray is dead!" One of the men shouts, as the impact from Chloë's blast of wind kills one of the soldiers. Presumably hearing the shouts and sound of battle, another soldier throws open the remaining door - revealing another bedroom to Gemma and Wes with another peasant hostage inside, this time a man. The Soldier charges at Gemma from behind, knocking her to the ground with her shield. Meanwhile one of the other men manages to clamber to his feet and land a retaliatory blow against Brannik.

Adrian smiles to his paramour as she manages to take out one of the men, and he rushes back into the fray. Rushing up behind Kass, he lands a blows against the still-prone soldier near them, shoving him in between Brannik and Kass so they can better dispose of him. Then, turning attention back to his initial target, he rushes the other proned soldier and lands another strong hit against the man.

After some quick repositioning he glowers angrily at the two other nearby men, who seem intimidated by his presence and they attempt to retreat as a result. "Yes, run you cowards. You won't get far, though," he says, flicking some blood off his blade in preparation for the next attack.

As Adrian manages to push the soldiers back, the peasant woman moves towards Brannik for safety. One of the soldiers charges into Kass landing a blow against her, as the crossbowman moves away. The Menoran quickly strikes at him though, catching him as he retreats - however once clear he loosens his bolt at her landing although luckily it goes wide.

Suddenly another figure emerges from the bedroom. No mere soldier, this is clearly a knight. Dressed head to toe in plate and mail, with a kite shield and broadsword. "Fight you fucking drunken fools!" The man barks at his allies as he barrels towards Gemma, immediately landing a skilful and heavy strike against the young squire.

"You could just lay down your weapons and make this easy." He watches his foes, readying himself for whatever moves they make next.

Adrian unleashes a powerful attack against his current foe, causing the man to go limp and the life to fade from his eyes. "Gladly," Adrian responds to Gemma, seeing her in her weakened state as he pulls his blade from the severed artery of the solider.

"Us the bandits? Ha!" Wes scoffs at the knight. "You're bringing dishonor onto your family, Ser Gharren. Would the good Lord Ostwald of Duscher be happy to know what his sons are doing?"

The Arc-Knight glances at the soldiers surrounding him, sweeping his magicked blade in a quick arc of energy. He eyes their makeshift battlefield, knowing the knight and crossbowmen will be a thorn in their sides. "Let's shake the field up a bit," he says. Brannik, Kass, and Wes disappear for but a moment, reappearing elsewhere in the house.

Wes stares down the knight, his blade growing more fiery by the moment. He points the sword at his foe, a burst of the fire flying towards the man. "You do Tulrisse and House Ostwald no favors by remaining alive. Let's remedy that."

Kass, meanwhile, corners one of the crossbowman, landing a heavy blow on him.

ACTION POINT!
Standard: Swordmage Shielding Fire on Knight
Attack: 20(1d20) +11 = 31 vs Fort = CRIT
Damage: 8(2d6) +26 = 34 Fire damage

Knight is marked (-3) from Aegis of Shielding until the end of the encounter. This doesn't end existing marks placed by me and using Aegis of Shielding again doesn't end this mark. Another creature's mark supersedes this one.
Until the end of the encounter, when I reduce damage the target deals through Aegis of Shielding (9 damage), the target takes fire damage equal to the amount reduced.

Ready Action: Dimensional Vortex
If an enemy hits an ally with a melee attack, I roll +11 vs Will. On hit, I teleport the target 5 squares and it makes its melee attack against a target I choose. If the initial target is marked by me, their attack deals an extra 4 damage

"Your king is a fool if he approves of tactics like this," Adrian says, as he blinks out of existence, appearing almost immediately after behind the knight. "And we're not going to stand by and let thugs like you get away with it. I suggest you make peace with your gods, because you are going to meeting them soon." As he says this, he slams into the man from behind, easily breaking past the man's defenses and causing him to feel a twinge of pain that remains even after the blow is struck.

Wes manages to fend off another of the soldier's attacks, however he is hit from behind by another crossbow bolt. Ser Gharren raises his sword, bring it down directly aimed towards Adrian's neck. Wes spot's this however and with a flick of his sword he teleports the knight across the room. Ser Gharren, already mid swing is unable to stop himself from cleaving one of his crossbowmen in half. "I'll kill you for that Arc Knight!" He roars, quickly stepping to flank Wes.

Wes cracks a smirk as he forces the knight to cut down one of his own, the boiling anger just emboldening the Menoran. "If you know what I am, then you already know you won't be doing anything like that," he says, channeling into his blade until the air around it grows frigid. "Thick heads common in Duscher?" He strikes out at his foe, the bitter cold and bladework inflicting a sizable wound. He sidesteps, meeting eyes with Gemma and nodding.

In the corner, Kass faces off against the remaining crossbowman. She attempts a swing at him, but he dodges. Not giving up, she tries again and lands an impressive blow.
