Shreckt hit the ground, the ice spikes flying over her head. She was quickly back on her feet, ready to attack again, but it was useless as the spirit dissipated. She was far enough away from the final barrage of ice that those that hit her merely glanced off her armor. Eli took the opportunity that the collapse of Walkins' had created to reload his pistol. "He probably is," he said casually to the barkeep, "but there's more than likely something really nasty about to happen. Nothing lethal to all of us of course. He still wants the children alive." As soon as that comment had been finished, the first Walkins walked in. "See? Like thi-" Eli's positively cheerful remark was cut off as another one appeared behind him. Then there was no time to talk as bullets began flying. Eli, cursing as he felt the wounds in his leg and shoulder reopen, dove behind the counter. "Like this. He has a cloning spirit. Lovely." [i]Shreckt. You take the one with the pistol, Zaz, Saruk, and I will go for the steam repeater. Lumin, take care of that damn ice spirit.[/i] [color=f26522] [i]Yes, I'll get right on that. After I finish this smoke...[/i][/color] [i]NOW![/i] [color=f26522][i]Fine, fine calm down. I preferred you before Ragnarok arrived.[/i] [/color] 

Kal, doing his job with a happy little smile, simply nudged his way in front of Helen and the children as the ice spikes came down. The spikes were deflected by a brief shield of light made by the little turtle. By then, Lumin was already spitting another fireball at the ice spirit. Shreckt took the blood still oozing from her palm and slashed it at the pistol wielding Walkins, following close behind it it, intent to impale the pistol wielding Walkins' on her sword.. A crescent of blood, sharp as a sword, raced towards his chest. Eli stood and fired six shots at the steam repeater wielding Walkins. Saruk made the third shot more likely to pierce armor, and Zaz sent another lightning bolt his way. "Keep them coming after we kill these two!" He called out to the one in front of him. "I want to see how many times you're willing to die!"
