Things do not go well, for the most part. Malavar takes a light wound from his beast, and fails to retaliate. Kendrivel slashes at one of the footman, is blocked, and then quickly cut down. Another footman starts to yell at the animals, trying to frighten them off, and it seems to be working. Drezden drops not one, but both of his weapons in the melee.
Dallion tries to focus his senses. He closes his eyes--they are of no good to him right now anyway--and attempts to rely on his sense of hearing and smell. He waits for the sound of movement, then quickly strikes. Although Dallion doesn't see it, the others witness the blade explode into light when it strikes the beast, magical energy splashing out of the sword and sizzling across the creature's hide. It screams in hideous pain, and is badly bloodied, but not out of the fight just yet. The sword meanwhile hums louder and glows brighter, as if it were anxious to drink in more of the creature's blood.
Echo looses another arrow and misses. The two mages ignore her for now, and cast another spell. It is the same spell, and suddenly there are multiple copies of both wizards shifting around, making it impossible to discern which ones are real and which are false images. Echo nocks another arrow and takes aim. It's not clear if she picks her target through some kind of strategy or just luck, but regardless her arrow sails true and hits the real mage--the first one--right in the left eye socket. His other images wink out, and he topples off his horse, quite dead.
