Salvation Outpost - Chapter 2

The red knight catches her whispering something. Her tone is unexpectedly apologetic. Armat is not quite sure what she said, but he did hear a name. Lilah was the last word Titaness spoke.

Peldan’s blast streaks down the street, hitting the archer in the shoulder. Immediately followed by Armat advancing to counter the two archers. Despite his impressive skill, the archer is able to parry the blows with his bow.

With Titaness falling, Buff quickly adjusts the aim to the far archer. "Last one, goblin girl. Make it count.", he says to Garundah, "Try not to hit the knight.", he adds.

The lightning streaks through the air and over the embattled escorts. Armat hears the arc sizzle just past him. A moment later, the cannon lets another shot loose. The Escort to Armat’s left explodes in a brilliant flash of blue energy. Nothing remains of the warforged.

Second fires a defiant arrow in the direction of the cannon. The little goblin shrieks in pain as the arrow tears through her shoulder.

The Escort manages to evade the magical attack.

Sheriff storms out of his office and aims at the nearest Warforged he can see. The first shot hits the soldier in the back. His armour dented from the impact. He grunts in pain as Sheriff fires a second time. This shot hits the bakery wall just beyond.

Ten takes two quick slices at Vice. The nimble gnome evades the first swing. The second one seems to be on its way to a definite hit. Vice quickly waves a hand and fills the soldier’s mind a momentary flash of light. His blade hits the door frame instead. Confused for a split second, the patroller turns to quickly run down the street, passing the only remaining soldier on his way.

Sand lands everywhere, but Warforged keeps running.

As he advances, the warforged sidesteps his arcane energy. Instead , it shatters the storefront window of the corner bakery.

Armat spins around to place himself between the two remaining foes. His pole hits the warforged archer in the side with a *crack*

Buff shouts back down the street to the paladin, "No shot left, anyhow."
