Kal watched as the large boy with white hair charged recklessly at the giant and despite the boy's efforts he didn't seem to be doing well. He did manage to clock the giant in the head, but only enough to stun him.Zarkenis Ultima wrote:Meanwhile, the other heathen soldier, the one with the warhammer, seemed hardly fazed at all by Kal's spell, ignoring it as his shields tanked the damage and instead raising his monstruous weapon for another shot at the students. However, the attack was stopped as Arcander rushed in, his own hammer colliding with the incoming blow with such an impact that it made the entire cavern shake for a moment. The ground beneath the white-haired aspirant's feet cracked under the stress as he felt his own bones reverberate from the clash, and Stormbringer itself seemed to groan, complaining about the abuse it was being put through. Nonetheless, the heathen did not intend to lose any single moment, and neither did Arcander. He intercepted blow after blow of his enemy, though he was visibly slower and weaker, having to put in a lot of effort just to keep up.
Finally, the heathen had an opportunity and took it, smashing his hammer into Arcander's shoulder before he could recover from blocking the last blow. The guide howled in pain, the energy levels of his shields taking a nose dive, but he persevered even through this, not falling to the ground. In this bleak situation, he saw his own opportunity. Turning off his hammer, he raised it and slammed it into the side of the heathen's head with a loud clank, the weapon bypassing the shields on account of being deactivated and thus emitting no energy. The enemy's endurance was remarkable, as he did not seem defeated even after that direct hit, but he was certainly stunned, and so, Arcander took a step back from the battle, taking a moment to breathe. His shoulder hurt like hell, but he couldn't let this get to him, knowing the battle was not yet over.

Atlannia wrote:"Damn," Alfenn muttered under his breath, his eyes flicking from one heathen to the other. I should go after him he thought, focusing on the one who had attacked Jynna and more recently freed themselves from a binding spell from one of the aspirants. As long we keep up the pressure we can whittle down their shields over time. That's the most reliable course to victory. In most games it was generally acknowledged that if one side managed to acquire a significant advantage in terms of pieces than their victory was certain as long as they played carefully and made no mistakes. As long as thye managed to trade pieces with their opponent at a one to one rate then numbers would inevitably win out. Theoretically the same rules would apply here, the heathens were undoubtedly more skilled but as long as their shields continued to be drained at this rate they'd be empty at some point. However...
If this were to turn into a drawn out battle of attrition we would almost certainly lose someone. Alfenn thought, gritting his teeth. There had been a couple of close calls already, even the aspirants were injured although that was in part due to them taking on the brunt of the fighting. If the fight carried on at this rate eventually someone would make a mistake and against warriors this experienced and ruthless it would likely be a lethal. IF one of the aspirants were killed would some of the first years begin to panic? If Jynna was killed wou- Alfenn shook his head. I can't let that happen! We have to end this as soon as possible! With that in mind he began studying the enemy once more, looking for some kind of exploitable weakness. It was then he observed Arcander switch off the energy on his hammer and strike direct blow against the enemy.
AN interesting tactic. Thought Alfenn I'll have to- wait... Suddenly he realised, or perhaps realised the significance of the fact that the enemy weren't wearing anything except robes underneath their shield generators. Arcander's blow had merely stunned the man temporarily. But if I turn off the field on my sword, I could probably just run them through. I'd need an opening though, or else they'll just block and shatter my sword. Alfenn dismissed his dagger temporarily and raised the now empty hand to his mouth, speaking into it. Flicking it away produced an odd bubble of slightly distorted space that floated away towards the Ayendor siblings, whereupon it popped and the words Alfenn had said made themselves audible to anyone close by.
"Can you all hear?" asked Alfenn's disembodied voice. "I have an idea but I'll need you to create an opening for me, if you can, organise as many people as possible for a group attack on the one with the sword I'll move after that. If that plan sounds okay than nod at me and I'll be ready to go whenever you make your move, otherwise I'll just move in normally and we can try for a basic pincer attack."

Atlannia wrote:As soon as the fight was over Alfenn lowered his guard and looked around urgently, breathing a visible sigh of relief when he noticed Jynna, standing by her siblings and more or less okay. Without a moment's thought he jogged over to her. "I'm glad you’re okay!" he said breathlessly when he reached her. "I mean uh-" he glanced at her siblings a little awkwardly. "I'm glad everyone's okay obviously, we were lucky to get through this without any serious casualties, I just meant..." he looked at Jynna and his cheeks reddened slightly. "I'm...really glad you're okay," he muttered finally. To keep his hands busy more than anything else Alfenn went to sheathe his rapier, only then realising that the blade was still covered in dark, shining blood. Taking a handkerchief from his pocket he proceeded to carefully wipe down the thin blade, glancing as he did so at the still form of the warrior who had fallen to it.
This is what it feels like to kill someone? I just feel tired more than anything...
