Now that some of the hunters had a chance to arm themselves, they were putting up more of a fight. Meesei quickly scanned the room and found the place where her skills were most needed. An Altmer mage had set her sights on Fendros, and for magic, he had little defense other than dodging. The mage charged lighting across her body and unleashed a veritable storm of electricity forward, but it stopped in its tracks just ahead of Fendros as it impacted Meesei's ward. She walked up beside Fendros, her hand held out forward, projecting a barrier over them against her continuing onslaught. If she was experiencing any fatigue from maintaining the barrier, Meesei was not showing it. Her eyes were locked onto those of the Altmer, her expression displaying complete calm and giving off a sense of confidence, of control. At first, the Altmer displayed stereotypical High Elven arrogance by taunting Meesei as she pressed more energy into her spell, but when the additional effort produced no visible results, she became obviously concerned. 

Meesei was indeed having to put forth considerable effort to protect herself and Fendros, but she hid any evidence of strain perfectly. In combat, she always made sure to project confidence onto her enemy, regardless of the situation. She displayed a type of confidence that would not be taken as arrogance, as the High Elf had attempted, but rather confidence that represented control over the events around her. Meesei was able to draw in some of the magicka from the Altmer's own attack to mitigate her own magicka loss, then concentrated it into a burst of telekinetic energy that threw the Altmer off balance and interrupted her lightning spell. Meesei retaliated with a stream of fire that the Altmer was only barely able to block in time with another ward. Meesei knew she could break the ward of the already-weakened Altmer, but the Breton Fendros had shot before was not dead and was once again attempting to take aim. For that, Fendros would need to serve as her protector. 

Lorag saw Runt start to get surrounded, so he easily found his next target. The Nord was wielding a similar weapon to himself, so he didn't really have an advantage to press there, but the Imperial was looking like a tempting target. He sprinted forward from behind Runt, his hammer already in mid-swing by the time. The Imperial, who was in full steel armor, apart from the helmet, lifted his shield in time to block, but the full force of an attack from a lycan with a warhammer, especially one as strong as Lorag, was not something one could simply block with no issue. The Imperial staggered back and nearly lost his footing, but he was unable to recover before Lorag did, so the next strike accomplished just that. The Imperial still blocked, but he was knocked to his back. Although he could not protect his lower body with his shield from that position, Lorag still decided against going for the legs. Plate armor was almost useless against blunt force weapons like a hammer, so he could very well break them, but they were small targets, and if he missed, the Imperial would probably be able to get up. Instead, he struck the Imperial's dented shield once more, fracturing the bone in his arm underneath. The Nord probably would have been moving to his friend's aid were it not for the fact that Runt was already taking care of that. 

Janius was being threatened by an archer, so it was only natural that Ahnasha would come to his aid. Before the Bosmer could fire another shot, Ahnasha loosed one of her Daedric bound arrows, which impacted his shoulder. He shouted in pain, but overall handled it much better than the Breton Fendros had shot. He kicked over a nearby table and crouched behind it for cover while he tried to deal with the arrow. She was just about to nock another arrow when she spotted a glimmer out of the corner of her eye to her left. On instinct, she ducked just in time to avoid a silver blade separating her from her head. Her attacker dispelled her chameleon spell, revealing her to be the Orc woman Ahnasha had spotted before. The Orc's blade had missed, but her other hand was still had plenty of momentum. The woman delivered an impressively strong punch which landed square in the middle of Ahnasha's face, bloodying her nose and knocking her onto her back. Fortunately, Janius intervened before the Orc was able to follow through. As much as Ahnasha wanted to help finish her off, she had to trust that Janius would be able to handle it, as the Bosmer across the room was still a threat. She grabbed her bow before it disappeared, brought herself up to one knee, and quickly fired off an arrow in the Bosmer's direction. It of course missed, but it caused him to duck back behind his table long enough for Ahnasha to recover more completely.
