The blade sank into the creature’s neck with deceptive ease and in moments the resurrected Myrmidon was little more than noxious smoke. [i][color=008000]’That’s one smell I’m never going to get used to,’[/color][/i] he thought bitterly. There was a solid “ding” as an arrow glanced off of his pauldron, which came all too close to his vulnerable neck, that wrenched the cavalier’s attention back to the task at hand. There were still five Risen to deal with, two of which were ranged fighters that would make a drawn out fight hell. A quick glance showed that the undead sorceress had eyes on the hot-headed merc, which could prove to be quite problematic should she actually hit him. Without the red oaf's help, cleaning up the rest of the Risen would become much more difficult. Hearing Aika’s proclamation, Mikhail realized what needed to be done. Two of the three remaining melee Risen had their attention on the Magus and Singer, leaving the problematic ones all by their lonesome. [color=008000]”Oi!”[/color] he called over to the white haired pipsqueak, [color=008000]”Throw your lightning at the sorceress in the back. I need her off balance.”[/color] It was a risky plan, as it would leave their squishy units with two Risen to deal with on their own, but the battle was going to get out of hand quickly if they let the sorceress have free rein. A slash from the remaining axe fighter grazed him on the arm as he came too close to missing a dodge. The cavalier didn’t have time to deal with him, so he dodged under the undead’s next swing and moved forward. [i][color=008000]’For the love of all things holy Claude, don’t let this guy brain me from behind.'[/color][/i] It wasn't like him to put his life in the hands of other people he barely knew, but desperate times were calling for rash decisions. Hopefully this one wouldn't get them all killed.
