The Suthay's dodge made Janius try to re-evaluate how to handle her. Kaleeth's attack was an opportunity that he did not hesitate to exploit. There was no more thinking; the Suthay was quick, but not enough against two. Janius thrust the head of his axe forward to strike his opponent in the face before stepping up and swinging down on the dazed Suthay's shoulder.

Sabine charged an ice spike in a fluster after witnessing her ice spear doing no damage. She had hoped that the Khajiit mage's ward would have fallen before she cast it. By habit of timing, Sabine extended her hand to cast her spell, but a feeling of strain tugged on her now empty reserves of magicka and no spell came forth.

While Sabine may have had magical talent, it did not extent to fist-fighting. She timidly stepped back and leaned back to avoid the mage's punch. The mage had stepped over her ice wall and she had no more magicka to make more. As the mage stepped up further, Sabine tried to raise her arms to block his strikes and was running out of room in the laboratory. She was panicked and dizzy from the previous strike to her jaw, so she didn't have the focus to strike back with anything more than an easily blocked hay maker. "Help!" she shouted to whoever was at hand. She fumbled for her dagger in the meantime.

Now sure that his previous opponent was dead and the officer was engaged, Fendros was the one to turn his head to Sabine and move to assist. Unfortunately, with how the clutter was arranged in the room, it would be a moment before he could deal with the mage.

The satisfying sound of broken bones rewarded Gallus' hammer strike. What came next was the part that was not practiced enough by most; finishing off a crippled enemy. Gallus still held his shield up against the officer's sword to keep it back while he brought the hook of his hammer's reverse side around the Cathay's knee. Then, with a firm twist of his body, he lifted the officer's knee towards him while shoving against the officer's chest with the rim of his shield. Being brought to the floor would shock his ribcage further and make a killing blow much easier. He could never try such a thing against Ri'vashi, but the comparative slowness of his enemy made him momentarily overconfident.
