Janius' opponent was without help from his allies, but he was stubborn. When Janius got close enough to engulf the spearman in fire, he thrust his spear a number of times to keep him away. Janius had to back off, but the man fell shouted and fell forward. Behind him, Runt retracted the nail she had found from the behind the man's leg and pinned him for long enough to sink it into his torso. When she got up, Janius sent one last fireball spell upon him to keep him down.

With Ahnasha's help, Fendros was able to sidestep and swiftly pass his dagger across the wounded hunter's neck as he stumbled towards him from Ahnasha's kick. Looking around, Fendros saw the Orc struggling with a seemingly smoking Lorag, both of them enraged epitomes of strength and ferocity. Nearby, Fendros' stomach dropped as he saw Meesei on the ground with the Orc's spear running right through her. His eyes grew wide as his nightmares flashed back to him. He was frozen in place for a moment, there were no more of the Orc's followers to fight, all were dead or dying on the ground.

"Meesei, no!" Janius' reaction was for more pronounced. He looked to the Orc hunter with a fear and rage not normally seen outside of his beast form. He picked up the spear of his previous opponent and ran towards the Orc where Lorag and he were fighting and tried to thrust it into the Orc's side.

Sabine didn't betray much in her eyes, she was worried as well. In an instant, she was my Meesei's side, assessing the wound. They had left her potions further back down the tunnel when they transformed, what were they to do? The silver wound would not close easily even if she pulled out the spear, and in such a spot on her body... Sabine's pleading face shot up to Fendros and Ahnasha. "Potions!" Sabine shouted.

The shout snapped Fendros back into reality. He didn't need to be told what else to do. He sprinted back through the tunnels the way they came. It was a distance back, but he had to save Meesei. He ran as fast as he could, he didn't realise until then how unreal her death would seem. He couldn't let that happen.
