Dahenahi wasn't fairing well.  The black clad fighters now had her surrounded.  She had been able to create an ice barrier between herself and the horde, but they had turned out to be firebenders and were making quick work of the shield.  Occasionally she was able to use the melted portions to catch them off guard , the water raising from the ground and snaking between their legs to trip them up with ice pulling them backward.  It wasn't long before they had wizened to her tactics, pairing off in twos, one to pummel the barrier with fire, the other to evaporate her water as it snuck in for the attack.
