In the settling smoke caused by her destruction of one of the shadowy figures, the second, far more deadly enemy broke through like tornado of blades; it swung swipe after swipe of the greataxe it bore with inhuman speed, attempting to off set her while it proceeded forward with single minded determination. It swung again at an upward angle from below, only to avoid Thea's sword and inflict a tremendous strike at its full power. The impact from the dark weapon was more than enough to get her attention, as was the almost visible aura of frenzy the attacker had as it stood before her, withdrawing by a step and already seeming to ready its next attack. If anything, it seemed to have no other purpose in the world but to attack with relentless and wild abandon. Whatever this enemy was, born of the seeping darkness, it was only the beginning of fell omen for the heroes of the Kingdom of Light. 

The gnome chimed in, preparing a spell upon seeing the young paladin weather such a brutal strike, "You helped Birbin once, now Birbin will help you! Just try to hold out, friend!"

Arcane energy again appeared in his hands, floating about his palms albeit not the familiar glittering sort they had accustomed to, rather this time a shifting series of rainbows and prismatic lights. The real question was, what had the reborn sage of Wick been preparing? Unquestionably her own magical reprisal against the darkness...

Thea defeats one of the two [i]Shadow Soldiers[/i], her attack narrowly besting their well armored defense. Unfortunately, the [i]Night Fury[/i] closes the gap and unleashes a brutal attack, inflicting its maximum 15 slashing damage.
