In a burst of eldritch energy evoked by the returned scholar, the axe hefting beast came again to draw up its weapon at the man before it. So frenzied and enraged, even in its disturbing silence, it noticed not the blow Valmjr delivered to it... not initially at least. It soon fell before him, burning away in dark, wisping flames that left not a trace of its burly form. Then at last Wick's lingering magic dispersed, the same which had flung wide the opening their new ally needed. Another foe defeated swiftly by their coordinated attack.

But Haemar was not faring nearly as well as some of his cohorts for his sword met his enemy's, skittering lightning leaping off it and crashing to the ground with a clap alongside a metallic clink. Recovering his pose, his eyes narrowed slightly, darting off to their resident swordsman then back to the infinitely dark form of the shield bearing foe; carefully observing he awaited his next opening, hoping that this time he would fare far better in striking down the darkness that had swallowed up his life and threatened here, wherever here quite was, to do the same.

To the none too distance north, the paladin skirmished with her enemy, greatsword clattering off its shield as it shrugged her heavy blow aside with an unsettling silence. Every attack against the shadows, those that missed or found purchased felt empty, void, lacking and hollow; the sensation of striking darkness if it had taken form. How truly fitting it was that this black legion they faced was sent on behalf the Kingdom of Darkness.

Between the combined assault of Wick and Valmjr, the [i]Night Fury[/i] is erased from apparent existence. However, both Thea and Haemar fail to land blows on their enemies.
