As one, the dark-clothed assassins attacked.
The Sunbrawler's stood with their backs to each other, effectively closing any gaps between them. This limited the number of avenues with which their opponents could use to to strike, while their flames also threatened to banish the darkness cloaking the assassin's figures.
Those of the Silent Slaughter appeared unperturbed, though, simply flickering out of perception again.
The Guildmaster scanned his surroundings urgently, shuffling and spinning.
Suddenly, he spied an ominous object pierce the darkness and enter the light. Before he could dispose of it, though, it abruptly exploded. A burst of a virulent, hissing substance bloomed in the air like a flower.
Without hesitation, the Expert Mage commanded his flames to devour it.
However, unfortunately for him, Alistair discovered with a hint of dread that the miniature cloud, similar in appearance to the poison the assassins emitted, resisted his flame.
