As Lancer's soldiers charged in, filling the room with grapeshot, a few of the Assassins managed to make it behind chunks of debris. Mostly because they had enough of their fellows between them and the onslaught to give them the chance to run. Assassin's ground forces had been devastated. In the mean time, Lancer did Assassin's work for him. Jacob was tackled to the ground and covered by Berserker, holding a gleaming shield in front of his vitals, the fiesty wife called up more monsters to surround her and Jacob, soaking up the damage, while his guards physically picked up and pull hunks of debris to use as shields. As for the nameless, lucky fools who had survived Assassin's attack, well, they weren't so luck a second time, as those who were merely standing around in shock were turned into bloody smears. With everyone distracted by this new threat, the remaining Assassins on the ground promptly used Presence Concealment. Those still lining the walls ran towards Lancer's army, leaping at them from above, wearing bulky vests.
