The frost demon's fist hit her before she even knew it was there -she'd been hoping to get the Argonian out of the fight before he'd have been able to successfully summon such a monster. Oh well. Her form flew through the air, and even though she'd been hit so suddenly she managed to land gracefully on the ground no too far from the entrance to the Tavern. She considered for a split moment, running back into the tavern. Obviously the Argonian wanted her outside earlier only so he could summon his minion, he didn't want to 'risk' destroying such a worthless building, or killing any passers-by. She couldn't act on her thought though, as a second after she landed a row of ice spiked up from the ground. As she moved to dodge the spikes, jumping over them as they passed and then turning back to face her opponents, she noticed her foes had multiplied. She immediately looked to the other mage, or the three of her now standing there. This had to be the burning woman's work. Alice was about to move, to rush at the nearest of the three women, when she noticed too late the barbarian now coming to attack her. She shifted her movement slightly, trying to dodge but not really able to get out of the way fast enough. The barbarian's claymore hit her side, and she felt her skin and flesh tear as the strike nearly cut through her, a deep gash now spanning the right side of her abdomen. She fell to her knees, hissing as her hands went to cover the wound, her own blood, a deep dark red that looked almost black itself soaking through her cloak as she used the fabric to put pressure over as much of the gash as she could. The ground was stained too now as she began to realize that she needed to leave. NOW. Her eyes glowed the same near-black red color as her blood as she began to chant a simple spell she knew by heart- she would open a portal to the Mad Hell in order to make her escape.
