The booming sound from the downstairs area had most definitely not been a welcome addition to the rest. Theodore reacted reflexively, pulling his mask back down on his face and darting for the stairs down to the crypt, hoisting his crossbow before him and leaning against the corner of the doorway. "I'll go see what in the name of the Light that was. It sounded like it was close. Wrap up your breaks as quickly as you can, we may need more able bodies on the field at any moment!" he delivered his improvised field order before turning the corner and rushing down the stairs, only to find himself joining up with the earlier expedition right at the bottom. They had not got too far, had they?

The situation had taken a turn for the worse though as he had predicted. He quickly pulled his mask off and slammed it to the side of his bolt case, pulling out the first bolt the case would provide in the same move. It was one of those he had acquired from the upstairs area, he could feel it in the feathers. That was of no real consequence though as he aimed his weapon at the new sort of ghastly axe wielding figure. Less of a shadow it was, but yet just as hostile.

Divine insight flooded into him, but nothing in it really alerted him against taking the shot. The targets were more living suits of armour than anything else. He steadied his weapon carefully, not wanting the bolt to snap into the neck of an ally, and let the projectile loose. It was a remarkably straight shot, punching itself into the armour the ghost was wearing. It jutted off in a weird angle, but he was sure it had pierced the target's defences. But since they were ghastly beings, he wouldn't be too surprised if they would not show signs of getting harmed. He was way too used to that by this point anyway.

To his benefit, the spectre within the suit vanished while crying "[i]I see... only... the truth now...[/i]" into the air. He cranked the reloading mechanism as the pieces of equipment rained against the floor. One down, who knows how many still remained. He could not see. But assuming the target had not yet been harmed, they did not appear to be too tough. Easier to kill than the shadows. The thought saddened the templar.

Theodore sets his [b]Slayer's Eye[/b] on the most obviously visible target, that being the [i]Crypt Guardian[/i] next to Valmjr that he can see from the stairs. He will approach to a distance of 15 feet (or closer if the angle is preventing him from shooting) and take the shot at the target. The attack is a likely hit with a roll of [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/4507]25[/url] and will on a (not quite critical) hit deal [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/rolls/4508]6[/url] damage.
