The sudden eruption of violence caught Lux completely off guard. He tipped backward in his chair, crashing onto the floor with a heavy thud. For a brief moment he lay there, stunned, before scrambling to his feet and brushing the dust from his clothes.

On a whim, and for no reason other than the sheer absurdity of the moment, he grabbed the chair and hurled it off in a random direction. He quickly retreated to the nearest wall, pressing his back against it to keep anyone from slipping behind him.

Drawing his wand from his satchel, Lux held it close to his chest as his eyes darted across the room, searching for some clue as to how he should respond. "Are we sure this is the best option?" he asked, uncertainty creeping into his voice despite the titles carried by the patrons in the room.

His hesitation lasted only a heartbeat. Steeling his resolve, Lux flicked his wrist, sending a brilliant burst of light erupting from the tip of his wand. With careful control, he shaped the spell so that everyone within its radius, save for his allies, was momentarily blinded, buying his companions a precious few seconds to regain their footing.
