With the opposition cleared out, Artemisia's allies could put their plan in motion. After receiving approval from the prince, one of the swordsman laid down his volatile burden and lit the fuse. The dark mage held up a sleeve to ward of dust and shards of stone from the ensuing blast, but she did not look away. A moment later a deafening blast went off, shaking the fort and ground alike, and the path was open. Recognizing a golden opportunity, Artemisia grinned and, counting on any nearby enemies to be stunned by the detonation, moved to the front of the group. 

“Clearing the area!” she warned, a roiling Flux bubbling to life above her elevated palm. A little focus made the fell orb blossom into a miniature storm of chaotic bursts, crackles, and swirls. The dark mage breathed her incantation. “Transient and fickle, existence ever-changing, here and gone again.” [i]There[/i]. Inside she could see movement. Disoriented enemies hastened to compose themselves and meet the intruders. Their first guest would be most unwelcome. Artemisia steeled herself, and shouted, “Flux!” An angry whir escaped the undulating mass above her hand as she whipped it back and threw it. It arced, leaving behind shreds of itself to pop and fizzle. On impact it released a deep tone and  series of fell wisps that scattered and randomly, like violet lightning, for a split second before it all went up into one big burst of dark motes right in the middle of the enemy group.

As confident as she was in her witchcraft, Artemisia didn't expect her efforts to clear out the whole welcoming committee. The melee fighters like Einar could now rush in and clean them up. Pointing into the breach, the dark mage signaled for them to advance. “Now, while they're reeling!”[/cell]
