The first beast continues it assault against Malavar, but the half-elf manages to keep it fended off, but fails in his attempt to retaliate. For now, the two remain in stalemate.
Kendrivel tumbles around the battlefield, avoiding several attacks in the process, until he reaches the relative safety behind a tree. This does little to aid him, though, as the footman come rushing in, and two come at him from either side of the tree. But the kender manages to evade both attacks. Likewise, Drezden, Malavar and Dallion also avoid any and all attacks from the footman, who seem fairly amateurish in their technique.
The second beast manages to get back on its feet, just in time for Drezden to deliver a devastating blow from his broad sword, which flashes green in color as it arcs through the air. The beast roars in pain, but is still in this fight, and prepares to counter.
The third beast remains in stalemate with Dallion, unable to strike the bladesinger, but avoiding his own attacks, as well. Although at one point, the creature clumsily loses its balance and is forced to land.
Echo unslings her bow, nocks an arrow and looses it at the first horseman. The arrow flies too far to the left and hits a tree instead. Annoyed, the mage points at her and starts to chant. An arrow of his own, but made of sizzling acid instead of wood and flint, flies right toward the half-elf. Fortunately, she is able to dodge it, and it hits the ground instead, bubbling and popping as it melts the soil. In retaliation, she nocks a second arrow and lets it fly. This one finds its mark, hitting the Zhent wizard in the thigh, and leaving him looking paler than a ghost.
The second wizard targets the wielder of the Sword of the Dales instead. He casts a spell, and suddenly Dallion's seagreen eyes are engulfed with light. The bladesinger cannot see anything but the searing, blinding whiteness of the light now, and must rely on his other senses to find his foes. "You are outnumbered and outgunned!" the second wizard cries out. "Surrender the sword, and we'll spare your lives!"
