*Most of the shots would miss, since they had been firing across from each other, striking by the feet or above the adventurer's heads - only two striking the group. After this, the crossbowmen would throw aside their weapons, drawing their falchions and charging indiscriminately. The mage's shots would not be aimed at any of them, instead at any wooden flooring or walls that could be ignited. Most were impotent, the flames quickly dying out on the wet, aged wood, but a few sprang to life in the furthest corner.*
