As the sound of gunfire was heard the pyromancer quickly tried to put up a wall of flame to defend himself. Luckily, bullets were much faster than a wizard's reaction time. The ground erupted in flames as the pyromancer fell forward but due to the spread of the pellets managed to stay alive. The swordsman looked over and then back at the paladin. "If he's one of yours call him off, if not our deal still stands and we'll continue our battle after we deal with this one." 

The pyromancer, with his last but of life, extended his flames to the general area of where Astaroph was standing before falling dead. The two crossbowmen aimed their crossbows, ready to slay the intrusion if he was not called off while the swordsman kept his eye on both so to avoid any sneak attacks.
