As though she were a leaf flitting too and fro on the wind, the pantherine monk slipped from her opponent. So swift was it that she hadn't the time to notice how it fell to nothingness again, removed by the light within her first then the rays of the dawn upon the mountains above. Over her head, a whistling crack struck down another shadowy fiend, letting her slide flawlessly into the company of their wizard's foe; again, strike after strike, Katia eventually broke her disoriented enemy as the marksman from his shared perch could notice. No less with his watchful eyes still on the hunt to root out the seeping evil here, the monster slayer quickly discerned they were again victorious.

No one shadow, barring of course their own shadows, remained. Only the ambiance of the seconds post of battle. All the magic in the air, the swinging and slinging of swords and arrows, clattering of armor and shields... all gone. All eerily quiet again in this town full only of memories.

Their gnome however, did not remain silent for long, for with an outreached set of arms above his head he leapt up in place and waved to gain the newcomer's attention again, "The new friends are good, you see? Birbin brings them to help!"

Looking back the outlandish purple gnome smiled to those on the roof, nodding before looking back to Valmjr at the head of the steps. He was certainly not wrong for under their combined assault, the man's shock and awe and their relentless dedication, they defeated an ambush that might too have claimed another light in the darkness. How fortunate was it, almost divine favor, that they had succeeded in this manner. Rather a "common" occurrence for them yet at any rate still a turn of events greatly in their favor.

In the meantime Haemar smiled to the feline Katia, offering a slight gesture before him in suggestion of her accompanying him, sheathing his sword whilst doing so; Thea was not far behind in easing her weapon either, scanning with vengeful eyes over the entirety of the environment, high and low. She did not put aside the sword so quickly, not with another newcomer to appear before them, but if he was any enemy of the darkness - as he appeared to be then he might be of some use yet in finding this strange [i]"Green Man"[/i] and whoever else was wandering these streets.

Climbing the large stone steps, no small feat for Birbin it was noted, he neared the tremendous man and motioned for the heroes of the Kingdom of Light to join him.

Katia's lightning fast maneuverability and series of attacks defeats two [i]Shadow Soldiers[/i], with the last being felled by Theodore's shot. The battle has come to a close and the heroes seem to have liberated the [i]Hall[/i]. They each receive 425 Experience Points.

The [i]Hall[/i] is liberated but no [i]Green Man[/i] is to be found. Instead, some stranger Birbin is friendly to is present.
