While the cultists were distracted by Wildfire's aerial show, Aegis rushed in herself, going for one of the cultists that had pulled a blade.  She easily knocked his sword away long enough to slam her shield into his side.  She spun around and smacked another cultist upside the head with the flat of her blade, at the same time kicking behind herself to catch a third in the groin.  She barely managed to duck away from getting surrounded by two more, swinging behind her to catch another on the head with the hilt of her sword.  She took a defensive crouch behind her shield as she started to back away from the rest of the cultists.<br/><hr/>Fighting roll: 38
