Just as Thalia managed to pull herself up somehow, she saw the others fighting desperately against the remaining three sahuagin, each party member engaged with one in combat.<br/>Norton wounded his opponent, but the creature wasn't debilitated from the cut, nor did it flee. It seemed to go into a crazed blood frenzy as it swiped and mawed at the paladin, threatening to overwhelm the young man.<br/>Al'Rhayel didn't fare much better, her attack was blocked effortlessly by the enraged fishman, that howled in pain under the moonbeam, and it seemingly started to dissolve while it was still moving and fighting with its last breath, biting down on the arm of the druid hard, causing a wave of searing pain to stab into the red haired woman's mind, enough to disrupt her focus on maintaining the spell that so horribly decimated the ranks of these attackers!<br/>Alyssa alone seemed to hold her ground, blocking, parrying, dodging or pushing aside attacks that came her way.
