~Nova~
 Nova suddenly began to blush as Ishmael turned to suddenly face her ,and when he touched her hand and began to lift them up, she felt like she was in some kind of fairy tale that children were told when they were young. He was the knight in white shining armor and she was the princess that he came to save. Only that fairy tale became more real when suddenly she heard a crack as something hit the wall behind them and before she could look she heard Cassandra yell for them to run. Before she could do anything she was pulled in close to Ishmael. Real close, close to the point she could almost hear him breathe and despite the current situation her face turned even more red. However, she began to be worried when he stepped in the path of where the arrows were coming from. However, it was misplaced as Ishmael had all the magical abilities he needed to protect her. He wrapped white wings around her and himself and suddenly just as it went up, it shattered into thousands of pieces along with the arrow that could have killed either one of them. Then Ishmael pulled her along and continued to use his own self as a human shield to protect her. 

 Her heart began to race rapidly as she moved with him and in a strange way she was actually quite excited. This was almost a story book kind of event. Here she was under attack with nothing but her guardian angel to protect her. The moment they got into the exit of the large chasm she wanted badly to go help Heinrich. Then again he was pretty powerful from the way he carried himself. Still, how long can he keep that defense going. She suddenly slammed her hand onto the metal breast plate of Ishmael. "Hold on, your a paladin right?.. and I am a sorcerer. Lets help Heinrich with our spells, I don't care if he is a high mage or not but he can't deflect all those arrows!" She yelled. 

~Erandur~
 Erandur was just as in shock as most of them when the crack happened and when he looked to the source and saw a black arrow he had only one conclusion. It was a drow ambush. He turned to look to Cassandra but her actions and words ruled her out as having something to do with this. He then looked to his sister and the paladin. He smirked and pushed back the bangs from his face. His little sister was placed under the best protection. He drew out his bow and proceeded down the stairs until he reached the safety of Heinrich's defense and stood to the side of him. He then used his eagle like vision and low light eyes to see the dark figures who launched their volley of arrows at them. He took aim set a arrow in place and pulled back on the bow and released launching a silver tipped arrow in the direction of the attackers. He did not expect to hit the evil dark skinned cousins but he could at least provide some covering fire. "Elendil!... get over here and help me return some fire!" He yelled. 

~Elendil~

 Elendil felt bad for the sight he saw. The young elf maiden was hit by one of the poisoned arrows of the drow. He could tell by the black shaft. If she did not get the wound treated quickly she could die. He moved to help Aeria move Deedlith down the stairs and as he was coming down he heard Erandur yell out an order. Elendil wanted to refuse but looked up to see Ishmael. "Hey can you take care of this?" He asked and then ran out drawing his own bow and quickly fitting an arrow in place. Before firing he tapped the tip of the arrow with his index finger. "Zoi,.." He said and suddenly the arrow head turned a crimson color and when he released it the whole arrow burst into flames and would explode on impact. Which should really cause the drow to take cover which would buy the slower members time to get into the safety of the exit.
