Kayla watched somewhat open mouthed as the girl charged in, taking the guards by surprise. "And i was worried about the fire elf being impetuous! " She muttered. Still she could not help but admire Ayesha's composure as she battered one guard with her shield and collapsed another with a spin kick. Muting the bell was also a good move as Kayla knew that one tap would have it ringing for hours. Unfortunately she also knew that it was magically twinned with an exact copy in the barracks upstairs, and that one would be ringing loudly enough for both up there. The shield had bought them minutes at most.<br/>Thankfully the guards had been picked for their martial prowess rather than their magical ability. That was one less thing to worry about. Leaving the right entrance for Zaer to deal with, Kayla followed Ayesha into the wide room and shifted towards a pair of guards by the left arch. She came upon them just as they recovered from the surprise attack and began to intercept the Light Elf. Sending her magic coursing through her enhancement tattoos, she felt a subtle surge of strength and a lightness of limb which let her almost fly through the air. Her open palm blow took the closest of the pair just above where his breastplate stopped. If she had been a little higher she would have crushed his throat. As it was the blow hit him like an iron bar, driving him back against the wall where he collapsed limp. Kayla quickly leapt back to avoid a slash from a halberd which may well have severed her arm. Whatever she had asked of her fellow escapees, the guards certainly weren't going easy in the least! With a hiss Kayla circled away from a vicious thrust toward her head, and continued the movement to spin inside the guard of the long handled weapon. Short swift blows from her elbows and knees disarmed the other storm elf and left him clutching himself in a world of private pain. A final chop to the temple left him prostrate and out of action.<br/><br/>
