Shadow Slayers

"Save it!" Alroth said, listening to just about none of what she said. Well, it was kind of hard to do so in between swings. Sting and Bulk fearen were advancing all over the place, and Alroth was doing what he could to keep them back. The hounds were a bit too fast, but fortunately none had target him specifically yet.

Well at least someone understood that. It was good to know that someone else was on the same page. "I hear ya!" the knight agreed, backing slowly toward their direction. If nothing else he could join their formation and avoid being surrounded. Alroth seemed to be swinging constantly, always deflecting another incoming fearen. In many cases they were the same ones he had already knocked back, since his attacks more often weren't lethal, it would take a few blows to keep them down. He sure as hell could keep them away, though.

In the distance, a bulk fearen tore a massive rock out of the ground and threw it toward them. Alroth only noticed when the shadow passed through his field of vision, and he looked up in time to see it falling toward them. Enoch and Celty were within the impact zone as well, and potentially Daryn if she was near Enoch at the time. Alroth noticed it too late to prepare any kind of deflection. "Oh shit, look out!!" he warned.

Fallen watched as his allies started going into battle, leaving him defenseless. He was about to attempt to partner up with someone when he noticed an odd creature; a member of the Shadow Slayers whom he had yet to introduce himself to...


Fallen readied an arrow and gauged the distance. Oh no... she's too far. My arrow won't make it in time! He looked around. He remembered that there was an elven mage that could use time magic. If he could somehow speed up Fallen's arrow, it would be able to reach the fearen before it stung his ally. Looking around, he could see that the time mage, too, was quite a ways away. How to get his attention... Aha!

Fallen grabbed a mineral that, when struck, would emit a bright light, light a flare. Not only would it possibly distract the attacking fearen, but he hoped it would also grab Enoch's attention. He took a deep breath, threw it into the air, and shouted... "Enoch! Speed up my arrow!"

After slaying the bulk fearen, he looked to the horizon, trying to find his teammates. While looking for people to help, he spotted a squad of people fending off various types of fearen. He rushed through the fearens, slaughtering as many ground bound ones as humanly possible in the process. As expected, the hounds and the bulks died while the stings were merely disabled, losing their stingers. He called out to the crowd in the circle consisting of a metal man, an elf, and a rogue looking person. Holding a hound fearen up like a deer on a hunting trip in his one hand, he proclaimed one thing.

"I CAN HELP!"

Daryn, joined by Gaynor, held new confidence and was able to defeat the bulk who had threatened her moments before. She was no longer affected by Enoch's time magic due to his recent strain, but it didn't matter because Gaynor was by her side ready to fight the same fearens as she, and ready to likely help her out when needed. She knew she'd do the same, as more fearen approached.

Alroth was conveniently shoved out of the way just in time to avoid the falling rock. He had Enoch to thank for that one. The armor stumbled from the shove, but was able to correct himself relatively quickly. Not quickly enough, though, as there was nothing he could do to avoid a pouncing hound. The beast clamped its teeth around one of his arms, throwing off his balance enough to knock him over completely.

"RRrrragh!" Alroth yelled more in anger than anything. The suit didn't feel pain, but this inconvenience was incredibly annoying. Moreover, the pixie inside was being scrambled by all this sudden movement. With a heave, he threw the hound off and quickly got back to his feet, picking up his mace. Alroth swung with all his might, meaning to crush the beast flat into the ground.

...Unfortunately what he hit was actually the hound's leftover illusion, meaning the real one had teleported somewhere. Alroth didn't know the beasts' attack patterns, though, and just assumed it was dead.

"Wh-wha?" he stumbled, still unsure about what had happened with the rock. "Are you okay?" he asked the others, turning afterward to actually find out.

"Everything's alright!" Daryn shouted over her shoulder toward Alroth. In a final motion toward her adversary, she cut off a bulk's head. "At least as alright as possible!" She said as she retreated from an onslaught of 3 hounds, hoping Gaynor would do the same. She ended up next to Enoch, repeating Alroth's earlier question. "Are you okay?"
