By the time the Dire Avengers turned, Pallas was already ducking out of the way to take cover behind one of the hunks of metal that once served as a door, his entourage doing the same. He waited for the initial wave of fire to die a bit before peeking out and releasing a spray of explosive bolter fire. With everyone else firing their own weapons as they willed, Pallas took a moment to consider what they could do. The Eldar had the advantage of crossfire, the only way he could take it away from them was to lead them into the corridor. That's it!<br/><br/><br/>"Retreat," he voxed to his companions, "Fall back around that corner, take firing positions and cover each other!" First to move into an open position was Chaner, the Iron Guardsman, who provided cover fire for the Inquisitor, who fired his bolt pistol indiscriminately into the mess of xenos, while the less armed companions retreated behind them.
