"I believe he's already dead." Serphia's gaze immediately shifted from the tiny High Elf on her shoulder, and onto the now very-dead Sevarian who was now hanging in her grip. [i]"Are humans really [b]THAT[/b] fragile!?"[/i] Releasing the dark mage, Serphia let the man fall to the floor in front of her with a thump and clatter from his armor. Gazing up at the line of White Hand mercenaries standing in front of her, she bit her lower lips. A fight seemed imminent, a very one-sided fight as they were both outnumbered, as well as some of them wounded and shaken. Now what? ... The sound of a vial being shattered made the Captain spin her head around, almost knocking Sharon off her shoulder, as she turned to look towards a mist of white gas that was spreading through the hallway. Alarmed at first, she soon realized that the gas seemed to have no effect on her, but left the White Hand mercenaries all coughing and complaining. This difference was not a product of natural elven biological superiority however, which the Captain might first assume, as she soon realized that while the White Hand humans were stunned by its effects, the priestesses and midgets of Liaena's party were also unaffected. [i]"At least the half dwarf has some use!"[/i] "Rithrynn, take the group and get out of here!" Serphia called back to Rithrynn who was standing behind her. "I'll take another route and distract them." "What?" "Go, NOW!" "O-of course, mistress!" Rithrynn quickly said, before she called into the ritual chamber, and soon the rest of her sentinels came out and followed her and Liaena's group as they headed in the opposite direction of Sherpa and his men, running down the other corridor beneath the shroud of the white mist. A female shriek however gained Rithrynn's attention, as when she came closer, she saw Alissah just as she was struck down by the Death Knight blocking their path! With the human down, there was no longer anything keeping the Death Knight distracted. Realizing that she could not ignore the monster and let it run unopposed, Rithrynn quickly aimed an arrow and fired it at the Death Knight, which glanced off the side of its chestplate before finding its way into the side of its shoulder beneath its shoulderplate. "Kill it!" Rithrynn called out as she threw her bow around her torso and unsheathed her sword. While one of her sisters carrying two sentinels who had been wounded passed alongside the other end of the corridor, Rithrynn charged at the Death Knight with the help of two of her sisters. She blocked the first blow from the Death Knight, deflecting his blade aside. One of her sisters had already jumped behind him, where the Night Elf rammed her two handed saber with all her might into the back of his chestplate, penetrating through and burying it into the creature's body before rapidly pulling it out again! "She better be worth it." Serphia noted to Sharon as the Captain would sheath her sword at her hip. In the meantime, Serphia had charged forward towards the disoriented and incapacitated White Hand mercenaries and Sherpa who were blocking the path ahead of her. As she approached the group, she was first met with one of the White Hand knights standing in the front row. The man was still coughing through his helmet, barely managing to rear his weapon when he saw the incoming Night Elven Captain! But before he could do anything, Serphia had already kicked her greave into his foot, swiping his leg out from under him and causing the man to fall. Sherpa was the next person she met as she charged into the group, the Captain clenching her fist before she sent it flying into the High Elf's face as she passed him by and knocking him down! Lastly, Rae'liel who stood in the back of the group could barely gasp as Serphia came out from between the chevaliers to charge at her like a bull! Any and all air in the Blood Elf's lungs was pushed out as the Night Elf crashed into her, the Night Elf crouching down as she collided into the Blood Elf to catch her with her shoulder. All the while, the tiny Sharon would end up being sandwiched between Rae'liel and Serphia as the Night Elf ran off with the Blood Elf on her shoulder, having passed the White Hand mercenaries and was now sprinting like the wind away from them! "You have a lot of explaining to do once we get out of here!" Serphia said to Rae'liel as she ran as fast as she could to get away from the mercenaries, with Sherpa and his men soon disappearing behind them as the Captain turned a corner and kept on running up a small flight of stairs, easily scaling three steps at a time!
