Ka'ava stood up just as the effects of the potion was wearing off. All around her, chaos erupted, her sisters and brothers engaged in battle immediately. Some were successful in decapitating a few, but Ka'ava could still see that they were losing numbers quickly.

The Redguard had to resist the urge to look as her group was being slaughtered like cattle. She saw one of the crossbow archers be thrown over the balcony by the vampire lord, landing with a sickening crunch down the steps. 

She swung her war axe at the guard, hoping to hit him, she prayed to the nine divines to give her strength, even Talos, who was not her god, but one should get all the divine help they could get.
 "FOR DAWNGUARD!" One of her brothers nearby howled as he threw himself into the battle, his bow clattering to the ground as he took out his war axe.
