Another fresh corpse hit the ground, and with their built-up momentum the insurgents swarmed into the hall. Despite her fatigue Artemisia wore a broad grin. At this point triumph seemed almost assured. Only a little chaff remained between her allies as the bandit leader. She rallied to Alnard as he led inside, and when he issued her an order she obeyed without question. While the swordsman attended to the fistfighters, she relocated to a position where she could rain fire from safety.

She slid to a stop in position, her heart pounding in excitement. 'Assist our forces' made for a purposely vague order, one she could accomplish in the manner she saw fit. To receive such trust from her allies already, especially after Artemisia went ahead and showed off her dark arts without a care in the world. “Agh!” she realized. [i]Stupid![/i] What, had she started blasting minute one? [i]Great work being discrete there, Arty,[/i] she chided herself. But dealing with the fallout could come later. Sending some brigands to the great beyond came now.

The other squad was making its grand entrance to her right. An armored lancer, his plate no doubt plundered from the corpse of a far nobler man, and two axelings stood sandwiched between the two groups. Unfortunately for the unknown forgotten knight, fallen victim to treachery on some long road perhaps, his armor would not be around much longer to stand as testament to his tragic fate. The ne'er-do-well would cook in it. Feeling just a bit unoriginal at this point, Artemisia began to cast. “O howling void! Let your hunger gnaw away the foolish! Flux!” She hurled the dark magic at the back of the 'knight'. Through his gear the man had made a trade-off of extreme physical defense for negligible magic defense, and her abyss would chew him up.[/cell]
