Haemar was not shocked to see the shadows converge on him. He had done this before and it was exactly part of his plan. He knew that his Ward of magic would not hold forever and would need to refresh it as much as he could with the shreds of the powerful magic he wielded. Thea had been trained for the most direct and martial forms of combat but Haemar was no slouch in that regard. He had focused on his swordsmanship as much as she had and actually for longer than she had. While he new that his tendency to fixate on perfecting things and relying too much on his thoughts and not on instinct made him not as powerful of a close combatant, there were few who could match his weave between sword and spell. These creatures were new and clever, yet, they would fall the same. Whatever mind was pushing them on would break itself like waves over his rock. It was only what had always happened with these dark fiends. 

As the foes closed and Thea shouted to him Haemar started by taking a blow on the magical armor he wore, causing it to flair to life in the phantom of shimmer blue platemail, before he danced back and received the other foes with deft and practiced hands. As before he wove his mind and finger work with his sword strokes as he parried and swayed. His body erupted with a shining light as he finished his spell, putting forth the extra energy from his own body to empower it. Hes stood against many and he would let them come to their deaths on the edge of his magic and blade. 

"كل شيء على ما يرام. أنها سوف تقع قريبا بما فيه الكفاية عن طريق ربط أو المحتال." the abjurer called back to his old friend falling easily into the celestial tongue.
