*"Fool.."* Ashnard snarled under his breath, hearing the uproar that followed Mizu's exposure. Though for what it's worth... It was a useful enough distraction to let him climb the wall with relative ease. Sharp claws helped in that endeavour; latching with ease between stone crevices as he made his way from the side. 

Upon reaching the top, he'd notice one of the guards standing right at its edge, trying to shoot down at his companion. Too free of an opportunity to pass up, really. Quiet as a shadow, he flanked the silnari guard, then aimed a focused palm strike right at his centre of mass from the back; if the sheer impact alone wasn't lethal, the force to shove him off the tower and onto the guards closing in on Mizu would be. Not to mention the chaos that might cause when the enemies would realise the woman wasn't alone.

Mizu deftly avoids another volley of arrows that pepper her previous location as she runs towards the gate house. Her speed enables her to narrowly avoid the Arcane Blast, which only manages to singe her clothing. She manages to reach the gate-house, which has already mostly closed. The portcullis seems to be made of steel, which complicates entering the court house through this route. She does manage to take the two guards by surprise - but she can hear the three other guards running back towards the gatehouse. She'll be surrounded soon enough, by five enemies. The two guards she is currently facing are Tholian, meanwhile the three approaching from the rear are Lathian.

Ashnard would not have the same luck he had earlier with stealth. The sound of his claws scratching, chipping, and most importantly digging into the stone work would easily tip off the guard who was leaning over the wall. By the time ashnard had reached the top of the wall, the guard had already pivoted to face him, putting his shield up and drawing his short spear. This completely foiled his surprise attack. In a manner of speech "Turning the tables" And allowing for the guard to move to attack, thrusting his spear at Ashnard.

*So much for a subtle approach,* He grunted to himself as the elven guard's weapon grazed him; far more irritating than it was painful. At least no more of them had yet noticed his presence- hopefully. And if he got rid of that one guard, it would most likely stay that way.

He retaliates to the spear thrust with a pivot on his right, using the momentum for a blazing sucker punch at the soldier's gut. He relied more on precision than force; aiming right between stomach and spleen to leave his target gasping for air and open up a deadlier blow that would come from a searing-hot blade on his tail, going for the neck.

*Mizu would hum a battle song of the Silnarian empire as she made her way into the gate with the intent of mocking them. As far as she recalled, the silnari were amusingly prideful, and humming a botched version of their empire while killing them seemed like a great way to get a rise from them.*

*Taking advantage of her spears better reach, she would aim for the tendons of the nearest guard followed up by a quick thrust to the neck with her other spear on the other guard. Hopefully a swift kill for both. She would then hear many more were coming and would keep herself on her toes best she can. Weaving wherever she can with her footwork in hopes of throwing the incoming guards aim off*
