Gabriel's sword swung and hit flesh, tearing at the swordman's sleeve and flesh, cutting a slice into him, the man was wounded but still standing firm. The cut dripped some blood but he wasn't willing to give any ground to Gabriel or the protector captain.<br/><br/>The dark faded, and the swordsman twisted around to face Gabriel. The masked woman moved past him and the protector captain screamed as his body suddenly surged with something, a powerful spell perhaps, but what remained was dust and his belongings, the helmet falling with a clang on the ground and rolling down the stairs as the woman moved where the man once stood.<strong>"Finish them, I'll kill the bastard!"</strong><br/><br/>The woman was about to dash up it seemed, where as the man before them in the mask raised his sword in salute.<strong>"You fought bravely, but now you die!"</strong>The next instant, a sharp thrust plunged right through Gabriel's defences, the sword tearing right through him, piercing a weak spot in the armor's joint, slashing a vein and just stopping before the bone, twisting in the armpit and yanking out leaving the cavalier's left arm aching at the vicious sting.<br/><br/>"Oi, no fleeing for you miss magic panties!" The rogue shouted while tossing something, and a moment later a thick bramble and thorn bush sprouted from the floor, blocking the way up, trapping the masked woman behind the swordsman, at least preventing the rush upstairs for now.<br/><br/>"Gotta get this over with fast boss, I only got one more of them and missed with that one!"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC Attack</div><div class="spoiler_body">The healing effect gives full 6 hit points restored to all three. The Rapier wielding swordsman deals 18 damage with a single sword strike, apparently a critical, and there's no elemental power on it that shows at least, but the hit does leave a very nasty sting. There was a brief feint but roll against Gabriel was harsh enough Gabriel's roll stood no chance against it. The woman appears to use a vampiric touch spell with great skill, reducing the surviving captain to ashes when the hit point damage far exceeds what he had left.</div></div>
