At the gun fire the party countered it with two strategic moves. First was Marcelin’s fluxed mana bolts which struck the shots themselves with a midair clash, and it looked like the projectiles themselves had been made less small, burned off by the magic, so when they actually hit their targets they hit the hedge your bets protection barrier which Samuel had put up barely even seeming to damage them.

Where Marcelin got further use was the next volley of bolts hit the skeletons who while they were reloading and getting ready to fire suddenly looked like they were trying to fire their weapons but it was as if their hands would not complete the action, thanks to Samuel’s follow up disruption spell. This allowed Marcelin’s bolts to strike some of the skeletons in the first row visibly damaging their old armor, with magical sear marks the material weakening further.

Kain stayed toward the front  with the additional protection on him, his barrier looking abit less sturdy thanks to the two shots that hit 

With the cover he called down divine surge, hitting the closest skeleton to him with lightning, which was Tanegashima Skeleton #3, it’s bones became charred after the attack.

Afterward Clarisse decided that she’d help lay on the damage. She moved through the doorway near the crates and cast her spell.

[color=#FFF394][b]“[Lum Adiuvare Froz!]”[/b][/color] She’d call out in terran with her fan held out as she cast, and suddenly five modest sized icicles that were pale and covered in a radiant light went flying at all five skeletons in the front row, they appeared to impale them on impact and cause am immediate smoking caused from the radiance damage. Between the coordinated attacks, the first row of skeletons fell, after their inferior old armor being damaged and them taking multiple direct hits.

[color=#FFF394]“Let’s move up and keep on the pressure!”[/color] Clarisse announced to the group after the fact. The second row of skeletons looked like they were starting to aim but were not firing.
