The undead thralls rushed in first, and the pack was more than happy to allow them to take the frontline. They were rather expendable, so having them take the biggest risks made the most sense. Lorag formed up behind their undead shield line near Janius and Kaleeth, while Meesei stayed behind them with spells ready to attack when either of the shield lines broke, or to defend them against arrows. Aside from perhaps the ebony-armored skeletons, Meesei did not expect the thralls to be a more effective force than the mercenaries, and they likely would not have been were it nor for Neesa's influence. 

Hal-Neesa was standing just behind her skeletons, deflecting arrows with barely a motion and a thought. She reached out a hand and charged into it a kind of magic Meesei had never seen.Her hand glowed red as an ominous power swept the area, bringing with it the same fog that surrounded the xanmeer. Even as they were fighting the thralls, it was easy to see that the fog caused a certain fear among them. From there, she unleashed a bit more of a destructive force. Like Meesei in the previous battle, she fired bolts of lightning into the mercenaries' ranks, but unlike Meesei, the lightning she used was intensely powerful, to the point that if it did not kill the target outright, it would send them to the brink of death. The bolts arced into others around the target as well, injuring them similarly. With each spell she fired, she cut a hole in the mercenaries ranks, and once they saw the damage she was dealing, they started to scatter despite their commanders' orders. 

Instead of a structured battle between two opposing forces, the fight quickly became a disorganized brawl. The mercenaries' shield line broke, allowing the pack the opportunity to attack. Even so, Meesei remained close to her pack so that they could overwhelm anyone they had to fight and, more importantly, search for Fendros and Ahnasha.
