IMPORTANT!!!: I will be away tomorrow and Sunday. I won't return until around Sunday evening, so if you've got any actions, send them in now.

[Endgame]

I throw my Chaos Bomb and attack Crossbowman A.

[Kintobor]

We now return to your scheduled questing.

Party Order:

>Sorrow - Chaos Bomb (All enemies take 100 earth damage)

>Em vs. Crossbowman A- Hit (7+14-5=15 damage)

>Grimwald- Nothing

>Sorrow- Nothing

Crossbowman A: -10 Damage

New enemies have joined combat!

Sorrow tosses his Chaos bomb into the fray, sending a blast of watery death, as two of the three guards succumb to their injuries. Elgar poisons the remaining guard, as Em fires an arrow into his torso. It doesn't take long for the guard to fall due to the poison. Just as he does though, the doors fling open once more as three guards step in, but it's not the guards that scare the party. An armored tank of a knight steps in, sword drawn, shield in hand. The party can't see inside the silent knight's helmet, but it takes only three words out of Costello's mouth to know what they were up against.
