Carth stood back to back with Ash when they got surrounded. Just about to draw his sword, Carth was struck in the chest suddenly and fell back from the force. Hearing Ash's screams filled him with urgency as he rolled forward and shot a fire blast at the man that shot him. He then ducked and dropped down and swept his foot out to trip the other that had Ash in his arms, hoping to use Ash to knock the wind out of him while letting her get away.

One of the assassins dropped down on the one that attacked Carth effectively binding him with shadows, the other would go after the one that attacked Ash. Altoron came around the corner and straight to Ash to see if she is okay.
