“RITHRYNN! Stick this in that thing!”

"This is not the time for cheap innuendos, Li!" Rithrynn called back as she dodged away from the Death Knight just as it flailed its Runeblade around in a sweeping arc around him, the Night Elf still keeping her eyes on her opponents. She had fought a number of different creatures and entities before, but this Death Knight, ironically enough, seemed to just refuse to die!

"Light! I didn't mean like that!"

"I am in a fight here! Can we do it later?!" Rithrynn yelled back at Liaena as the Sentinel was about to reach for her bow.

"You big, fu... god-dammit! Just CATCH!"

"What?!" Rithrynn turned around just in time to see the shorter human girl as Liaena tossed a small dart towards her. Letting her hand leave her bow, the Night Elf immediately reached out to catch the incoming object in her glove to give her a look. Now lying in the base of her palm was a small, rather innocuous looking dart.

"I'm going to need something bigger... " Rithrynn muttered, turning to give Liaena a look as the human jumped up and down(or at least as much as she could with the gunk immobilizing her).

"IT'S BIG ENOUGH!" Liaena roared back, her voice reaching a volume that was quite surprising for the human's otherwise small frame!

"Hmpfh, fine!" Rithrynn gazed at Liaena for a moment, before turning the dart around in her hand to hold it in an underhand grip. Moving her attention back to the Death Knight, Rithrynn's eyes met with those of her battle sister Aleena who was doing most of the melee fighting with the Death Knight on the opposite side.

"Danin el Faror im'lel(Give me an opening!)!" Rithrynn called to her in Darnassian, and Aleena nodded in return. The Death Knight, who seemed indecisive about which Sentinel he should attack first, soon turned to Aleena just as the Sentinel launched herself at him in a savage strike with her saber.

As the Death Knight turned his back to Rithrynn, the Night Elf dashed forward to approach the Death Knight from behind! But as she was less than four feet behind him, the Death Knight suddenly spun around with his Runeblade. It was pure instinct that made Rithrynn immediately dodge as she saw the Runeblade come around in a spinning attack, the blade passing mere centimeters above her ears and hood as the more than seven feet tall Night Elf made herself shorter than the six feet death Knight in the blink of an eye!

The Death Knight's decision of switching targets was immediately punished by Aleena as the Sentinel brought her two handed saber down in a heavy strike against the corner of the Death Knight's neck, cutting through what little armor was there and burying her elven blade into his flesh!

The Death Knight reacted immediately, spinning around in yet another strike against Aleena, but Rithrynn's sister had already moved back as the Runeblade came for her. Instead, now it was Rithrynn's turn, as the Night Elf had already set herself a target on the Death Knight's body; the large gap in his armor from where Rae'liel's blade had almost carved through him.

With a fast and dextrous arm movement, Rithrynn rose to her feet, before neatly ramming the dart into the opening of his armor with such force that she almost crushed the dart in the process, and buried both the needle tip of the dart, as well as a small portion of the base of the dart as well, into the Death Knight's flesh!

"I believe he's already dead."

Serphia's gaze immediately shifted from the tiny High Elf on her shoulder, and onto the now very-dead Sevarian who was now hanging in her grip.

"Are humans really THAT fragile!?"

Releasing the dark mage, Serphia let the man fall to the floor in front of her with a thump and clatter from his armor. Gazing up at the line of White Hand mercenaries standing in front of her, she bit her lower lips. A fight seemed imminent, a very one-sided fight as they were both outnumbered, as well as some of them wounded and shaken.

Now what?

...

The sound of a vial being shattered made the Captain spin her head around, almost knocking Sharon off her shoulder, as she turned to look towards a mist of white gas that was spreading through the hallway. Alarmed at first, she soon realized that the gas seemed to have no effect on her, but left the White Hand mercenaries all coughing and complaining. This difference was not a product of natural elven biological superiority however, which the Captain might first assume, as she soon realized that while the White Hand humans were stunned by its effects, the priestesses and midgets of Liaena's party were also unaffected.

"At least the half dwarf has some use!"

"Rithrynn, take the group and get out of here!" Serphia called back to Rithrynn who was standing behind her.
"I'll take another route and distract them."

"What?"

"Go, NOW!"

"O-of course, mistress!" Rithrynn quickly said, before she called into the ritual chamber, and soon the rest of her sentinels came out and followed her and Liaena's group as they headed in the opposite direction of Sherpa and his men, running down the other corridor beneath the shroud of the white mist.

A female shriek however gained Rithrynn's attention, as when she came closer, she saw Alissah just as she was struck down by the Death Knight blocking their path! With the human down, there was no longer anything keeping the Death Knight distracted. Realizing that she could not ignore the monster and let it run unopposed, Rithrynn quickly aimed an arrow and fired it at the Death Knight, which glanced off the side of its chestplate before finding its way into the side of its shoulder beneath its shoulderplate.

"Kill it!" Rithrynn called out as she threw her bow around her torso and unsheathed her sword. While one of her sisters carrying two sentinels who had been wounded passed alongside the other end of the corridor, Rithrynn charged at the Death Knight with the help of two of her sisters. She blocked the first blow from the Death Knight, deflecting his blade aside. One of her sisters had already jumped behind him, where the Night Elf rammed her two handed saber with all her might into the back of his chestplate, penetrating through and burying it into the creature's body before rapidly pulling it out again!

"She better be worth it." Serphia noted to Sharon as the Captain would sheath her sword at her hip.

In the meantime, Serphia had charged forward towards the disoriented and incapacitated White Hand mercenaries and Sherpa who were blocking the path ahead of her.
As she approached the group, she was first met with one of the White Hand knights standing in the front row. The man was still coughing through his helmet, barely managing to rear his weapon when he saw the incoming Night Elven Captain! But before he could do anything, Serphia had already kicked her greave into his foot, swiping his leg out from under him and causing the man to fall. Sherpa was the next person she met as she charged into the group, the Captain clenching her fist before she sent it flying into the High Elf's face as she passed him by and knocking him down!

Lastly, Rae'liel who stood in the back of the group could barely gasp as Serphia came out from between the chevaliers to charge at her like a bull! Any and all air in the Blood Elf's lungs was pushed out as the Night Elf crashed into her, the Night Elf crouching down as she collided into the Blood Elf to catch her with her shoulder. All the while, the tiny Sharon would end up being sandwiched between Rae'liel and Serphia as the Night Elf ran off with the Blood Elf on her shoulder, having passed the White Hand mercenaries and was now sprinting like the wind away from them!

"You have a lot of explaining to do once we get out of here!" Serphia said to Rae'liel as she ran as fast as she could to get away from the mercenaries, with Sherpa and his men soon disappearing behind them as the Captain turned a corner and kept on running up a small flight of stairs, easily scaling three steps at a time!

As Sevarian finally fell, so too did the fighting in the room subside. Whatever cultists had occupied it now lay dead side by side with their ghoul minions. Serphia, standing over the dying dark mage, threw her right hand blade up in the air to catch it once again in an underhand grip; aiming the tip of her blade down towards Sevarian.

"Defiance without substance - you have lost everything." She commented dryly, glaring down at him with a cold and unforgiving gaze cast by her shimmering silver eyes.

But before she could perform any execution move against the dying mage, the entire room suddenly shook from a violent tremor outside. A loud bang almost knocked Serphia off her feet as dust filled parts of the room, coming from outside.

"What was that?!" Serphia yelled out through the dust that had now filled the room.

"An explosion, mistress!" Rithrynn called back as the sentinel was standing closer to the doorway,

"No shit!"

"Wait, where is Li?" Rithrynn suddenly asked, as the Sentinel had noticed the peculiar lack of midgets in the room. She looked around to her sisters, most of whom shook their heads.

"They ran out!" Vashi noted, motioning towards the door.

"But that's where the explosion came from!" Rithrynn exclaimed, before the Sentinel immediately turned and rushed towards the exit. It would not surprise her if the explosion was the cause of Liaena, the short black haired ex-priestess having a notorious record for blowing shit up without necessarily having any good reason to do so other than to satiate some wicked mental need to wreathe the world in cool and devastating explosions.

As she peered out of the ritual chamber, Rithrynn squinted with her eyes as she tried to see past the thick cloud of dust that now covered the entire corridor, and one of the passages now having been completely blocked off by a cave in.

"There you are, Li, I.. oh.. " Rithrynn said as she noticed Liaena and the rest lying on the ground by the wall, but as she looked up; she also noticed the new arrivals, Sherpa, Rae'liel and a cohort of White Knight mercenaries.

"Crap... "

"Mistress! Mistress!" Rithrynn yelled as she retreated back into the ritual chamber, hugging the edge of the doorway leading out as she looked back at Serphia who was standing in the middle of the room.

"The White Hand reinforcements are here! One... no, TWO Death Knights are with them!" Rithrynn exclaimed!
" ... ohh, and they got that Blood Elf you beat up earlier as well."

"What?!" Serphia called back, her surprise being directed not so much at the White Hand reinforcements as it was at the mention of Rae'liel being with them.
"What is that useless, green eyed magical crack whore doing here?!"

" ... I don't know! Why don't you ask her - preferably AFTER we have dealt with the White Hand?!"

Serphia gritted her teeth, before she turned to look down at Sevarian who was still coughing blood at her feet.

"You are coming with me, ape!"

Sheathing one of her swords, Serphia bent forward to pull Sevarian to his feet, spinning him around as she held him close to her body and placed the sharp edge of her blade against the unprotected skin of his throat as she walked him towards the exit to the room.

"Prepare the wounded and be ready to leave on my command." Serphia said to one of her soldiers who were tending to those sentinels that had been wounded in the fighting.

Outside in the corridor, Serphia, carrying the bleeding Sevarian, emerged from the doorway. Rithrynn followed closely behind her mistress, bow and arrow in hand and at the ready.

"Stand aside, humans! Or your commander will become one head shorter!" Serphia called out with a threatening voice as she faced Sevarian towards Sherpa and his White Hand mercenaries. Serphia's eyes narrowed as she spotted Rae'liel in the back, tied and bound. What was the Blood Elf doing with them?!

That was the point.

Half the fortress ceasing to exist will do that.

@Feisty-Pants

you probably shouldn't tell serphia anything about your involvement with that bomb

she might think she was the primary target of it ^_^
