Alissah, though supported by Kathlin, had immediately reached down to her belt to whip out her pistol as the dwarf entered the shaft, blunderbuss primed and ready and aimed right at them!

*CRASH*

The ensuing chaos made Alissah raise an eyebrow, as the dwarf was suddenly buried by a small tidal wave of large Night Elves suddenly coming down the shaft!

"I will not question the methods of my allies, as long as they work." She commented as she watched the mostly purple pile of limbs, sprawled bodies, big butts and hair that now filled the center of the shaft, with the occasional Liaena and Liam; who were barely visible; stuck somewhere inbetween. The prisoner, Sathrielle, was virtually impossible to see.

" ... do we still have the prisoner?"

Back up in the storage hall, the White Hand mercenaries were in disarray as they were being shot by arrows from every direction; those who hadn't already been shot having sought refuge behind the nearest crate.

Now within sight of the battlefield, Sherpa would march towards it with long, confident strides.

Raising his right hand, he would hold it up towards some of the nearby crates, before suddenly pulling it aside. To the Night Elf hiding on top of the shelf, it was as though an invisible force suddenly grabbed her, before throwing her out from her hiding spot and into the light as she rolled across the ground floor!

Reaching down to his waist, Sherpa would grab ahold of his Runeblade as he approached the frenzied Aleena who was caught in a duel with the remaining knight, who was struggling to stand against her furious attacks.

Wounded, the knight would back away from the Night Elf. But before Aleena could strike again, Sherpa would intervene with his Runeblade, meeting her saber mid-air in a clash of blades!

"I have some questions... " Sherpa started as he looked up at Aleena past their two interconnected blades, as a frigid frost seemed to spread from the blade of his Runeblade and across Aleena's saber.
"Questions about the whereabouts of my kin."

As Aleena released her blade, Sherpa was quick to parry the incoming blow; before retaliating with a fierce strike of his own, as the ashen haired High Elf brought his Runeblade down against Aleena.

But when his blade was parried by Aleena's saber, it would shatter it upon impact! As his blade connected with Aleena's, the upper half of the Night Elf's blade would crackle before shattering into a thousand pieces. As it was destroyed upon contact, Sherpa's Runeblade would continue through the air until it cut into the shoulderpiece of Aleena's armor, cutting through the combination of steel and exotic leather to leave a minor gash!

Yet even though the wound itself was minor in volume, the mere touch from the Runeblade was enough to send a frightening chill through the rest of the Night Elf's body, spreading a dark sensation as if all her heat had been snapped right out of her, replacing it with a cold emptiness inside of her.
