Acrius pumped his fist at his plan working. The goblins he had marked earlier exploded, the radius of the explosion taking out a good chunk of nearby goblins. His eyes gravitated towards a robed figure in-front of the castle gates...? It looked to be Zatana, the orange-eyed boy had no idea how she managed to get there considering the height of the walls. It was a very reckless and zany plan, he wasn't sure if even he would do that. Nevertheless he grinned in approval despite trying not to. Zatana seemed bolder than he initially pegged her for.

The not-so-currently swordsman directed his shots towards the crowd that seemed to surround the drow. Acrius gave her covering fire as best she could before he noticed an explosion went off. He wasn't certain if she was caught but she disappeared once more and appeared on top of the walls. On closer inspection, she was definitely hit by that explosion; her clothes were charred and she looked worse for wear. 

A few soldiers went to her aid but immediately stopped. The small crowd hovered over her and Acrius could tell something was up. Luckily the small army of goblins quickly retreated after the explosions so he could direct his attention to Zatana. He himself would check on what the commotion was about. It seemed that she was a dark elf; the soldiers wore expressions of confusion, betrayal and some looked angry. Acrius couldn't believe their reactions, right after she saved their asses like that. His annoyance bubbled in him as more voices and whispering joined the noise.

[color=#FF9900][b]"She endangered herself to keep this gate up,"[/b][/color] The boy pushed his way through the two inspecting her and turned to face them, [color=#FF9900][b]"And this is how you men react? You sure you lot aren't missing a pair?"[/b][/color]

[color=#FF9900][b]"Either help,"[/b][/color] He growled, [color=#FF9900][b]"Or get out of my sight else you'll answer to me. Trust me, I'm not quite as nice as Rudolph."[/b][/color]
