The quick footsteps indicating a struggle was Fendros' cue to come in. He had a fraction of a second to register the important details of the scene while he moved. Ahnasha had bound weapons in the throats of two of the mercenaries, while the last one was just distracted enough for Fendros to approach behind him, hold a hand over his mouth, and run his sword through his middle. There was a muffled attempt at a shout and some twitches of struggle, but just before the last of the mercenary's energy left him, Fendros pulled out the soul trapping dagger from its sheath on his belt and ran it across his neck, leaving his sword embedded in him. Slitting his throat was probably more than what was required to kill him at that point, but Fendros had to make sure that the enchantment would take effect.

As the man slumped to the ground, a faint stream of misty light flowed from his body and into one of the gems Fendros carried. The light lasted only for a few moments. "That's one," Fendros whispered. He then took his sword, wiped both his weapons clean, then put them away. They had one tower, now they had to make sure the other was clear once the fight started.

Sabine didn't seem to react to Nuulanth with anything more than a silent stare at the map she had drawn. She had to admit that the plan would depend on the mercenaries not recognising Sabine as being on the cultists' side, but if these mercenaries are ready for such tricks then her plan would fall through. However, it still remained that there were four of them. How else would they be able to do this? Perhaps she would have to try something to make her look less of a threat and let them be more in control. They wouldn't raise the alarm over a young girl, would they? But they might just try to bind her on the spot, and if she ran then, they might raise the alarm. Sabine twitched her mouth, then rummaged through her potion bag to see if she had anything useful for the moment. She pulled out a small paralysis potion that would only last a few moments, but it gave her an idea.

"Can you get up the ladder and kill three before they make noise? If I sling this at one of them from the top of the wall, he will be unable to move for a few moments. It will work more than a stone from my sling, because that not kill him right away. If you can turn invisible, it might help." Sabine proposed. She had intended to use such potions against the cult if they were betrayed, but in this instance, she had to use all resources available.
