The priest recoils as one of those brutes charges right for him. He is both relieved and embarrassed as Ashur steps in to block the blow.

[b]Iddin:[/b] [i]I... well, nothing to say in my defense. I suppose our band only needs one reckless fool.[/i]

Soon Lahamu appeared and dashed forward, embarrassing the family. Likewise Etor sticks his neck out and gains nothing from the risk. He mutters under his breath.

[b]Iddin:[/b] [i]And we're multiplying...[/i]

Iddin falls back in panic, seeing the band's formation and tactics immediately collapse. But his hand rubs by his second, ornate glass staff. Zuzu's staff. Right. Zuzu's guidance will save him from this situation.

The priest, calmer, looks at the situation again. Both Lahamu and Etor can't fend off an attack. But Etor is blocking one angle of attack on Lahamu... The only way to save both of them is to guard Etor. But this will rely on Ashur once again seeing the formation's gaps.

[b]Iddin:[/b] [i]Ashur! With them![/i]

The priest holds his staff aloft. He points it at Etor and swirls it around, gathering the particles kicked up in the skirmish. The priest flicks his staff back skywards and slams it into the ground. A sphere of glass forms around Etor as Iddin chants.

[b]Iddin:[/b] [i]Zuzu, grant your protection! Let this warrior be guarded in your perfection! He shall be encased in your glory. His foes' strikes will falter before your might. He is embraced by a temporary form of your eternal promise![/i]
