[@Patches] [@hefewy] [@MercuryNH] Duff finished cutting the hole through Xenan's attempt at a prison. Now his colleagues could get out. It was then that he noticed the prison weakening itself, as Gregor executed control over their opponent's magic. [i][color=82ca9d]Nice,[/color][/i] the old soldier thought, turning to engage Xenan at a range most might not expect him. Moving faster than his limp might suggest, Duff closed the distance between him and Xenan, flanking with the big warrior Daud. He wasn't ignorant of the shards of light raining down; even with the resistance he had built up against magic, they'd hurt. The thick steel chestplate and vambraces he wore would stop most of the shards from hitting him, but the one or two that got through seared and stung as they cut into his arm and shoulder. It wouldn't be enough to stop him; and he suddenly popped up behind Xenan. [color=82ca9d]"Nice trick,"[/color] he grunted, bringing his Voidstone sabre up and going for one of the injuries Xenan was having difficultly healing. [color=82ca9d]"Got a few of my own, though, eh?"[/color] [hr] [@Patches] [@Nashie] As if she had formed straight from the Mist, Astrid was already flanking the movement with Johnny. [color=a187be]"Good eyes, cowboy,"[/color] she said, spinning her blades into the hole in the Mist. [color=a187be]"Let us see how well sse hides when sse is bleeding!"[/color] Her blades were sharp and willing to cut. There was very little that would be able to stop them if their target wasn't armoured. Hopefully a bleeding bitch was easier to track, as they had to let Yoshimi get herself set up or this would end up in a shambles. Astrid didn't do shambles.
