Two of the five men that charged the assassin were dead before they hit the ground. Daggers tipped with belladonna hit their mark in the jugalar vein. ***WHOOMPP!!*** ***THUD!!*** The remaining three were meant with the assassin parrying with a scimitar in each hand, **CLANG!!**
The assassin was quiet acrobatic as she dodged the third zealot's killing stroke aimed at her head. **WHOOSH!!**
"You and your friends will fall before us, woman!" snarled the zealot as he levelled his blade at Seriah, "You and the girl child shall be sacrificed to Aurilaz! Accept it! It is your fate!"
"Gehenna take you!" Snapped the assassin as she swung around kicking the sword free from the zealot's hand, and followed it up with the other foot upper cutting the man's jaw sending him sailing backwards head over heels into the ground. She finished that one off even before he hit the ground as one of her scimitars buried itself in his back.
Before Seriah could fully recover from the deathblow she administered to the zealot, one of them dropped his sword, dove at the Assasin and tackled her in an attempt to pin her wrists to the ground.
"You're not so tough without your blades are you, Witch!" snarled the man whom she was struggling with at that moment, "Soon you shall be roasting on the altar of Aurilaz along with the girl child!"
As the six zealots charged at the Ranger, Willow dropped his hand from his sword and pulled out two daggers that were as big as Bowie knives. Flicking the handles around so that the sharp edge of the blades pointed downward, Willow went to work on his opponents. Ducking under the guard of the first zealot who charged at him, the Ranger came up and in a single slashing motion opened his targets throat. The man clasped his neck and fell to the ground gasping for air as blood gurgled from the deep cut. Next the Ranger kicked his second opponent in the stomach cutting short his attack, drew his blades back and planted them in the man's back. Deftly removing his weapons, Willow was able to dodge a slashing attack by turning his head just beyond the reach of the zealot's strike.
"Die! Elf! Die!" screamed the Ranger's third opponent who was wildly swinging his sword in an effort to put Willow on the defensive while his other three companions closed attempted to encircle the Ranger.
Willow dropped one of his blades and in a heartbeat had his hand around the pommel of his sword fighting Florentine style as he moved his arms in controlled swings designed to slash at the exposed appendages of his multiple opponents.
"Evenflow! Evenflow!" screamed Irzen at the top of his lungs as he went to work with his favorite blade against the seven which charged at him. As two of them swung their blades against the Swordsman, Irzen sliced through their weapons cutting them in twain and swung around decapitating his two attackers before they could recover from his feat. Still, the Swordsman's move did not deter the other five who charged at him to claim their sacrifice.
"Death to the infidels!" screamed the remaining zealots as they tried to close in on Irzen. The Drow Swordsman danced through and among them slashing and cutting in deliberate strikes designed to not only wear down his opponent but also sever limbs from their bodies.
All the while, Serna and Neven stood beneath their protective shield while two of the zealots banged, pushed and tried to slice their way to them.
The shadow of Mermidon loomed over the two zealots trying to get Serna. He cracked his neck loud enough for the two men to turn around about face. "Threatening the children was a bad idea! *Munthrek!*"
"Go away and leave us alone, you mean nasty baddies!" cried Serna at the top of her lungs.
"You will come with us, girl child! You will be sacrificed on the altar of Aurilaz!" snarled the Zealot.
"Never!" snapped Serna defiantly.
"Serna, drop your shield! I can take these guys!" demanded Neven confidently, "I want to help!"
"Have you lost what is left of your mind?" snapped Kana's Ex-Servant in complete disbelief, "There is no way in The Realm I'm dropping this shield. Not for them or for you!"
"Drop it or--or--or--"
"Or what?" Serna narrowed her eyes.
Neven made a fist, "--or I'll pound you!"
BOP!
"OOOOWWWW!" Neven hit the ground holding his nose, "Whut did you do dat for?"
"That's for threatening to hit a girl! Which you should never ever do!" Serna waved her outstretched fist at him, "Try that again and I'll hit you again! Now stay down and shut up! I'm not dropping my shield for nobody!"
"I hate you!" snapped Neven in pure disgust.
"I hate you too, you mean nasty Thief!" screamed Serna with equal venom, "When Mistress Kana gets back, I'm going to make sure she bites you for threatening to hit me!"
"Master Tommy will never let her!" replied Neven none too kindly.
**GGGRROOWWWLLLL!!!!** The deep gutteral sound emminating from Mermidon was enough the make their hair stand on end.
The two zealots bravely though a bit foolishly stood their ground against Mermidon and held up their weapons as though to ward off any attack by Alyson's creation.
Having literally disarmed three of his opponents, Irzen cried out, "Mermidon! Quake! How about a little help here?!"
