[b]"Yes sir!"[/b] The Azure Knight shouted as Halko and his entourage moved out. She went back to the other guardsmen, who were already beginning to clear out the tavern area of the Night Lurkers. Some had to stay behind and guard the entrance to the underground, preventing more Night Lurkers from emerging. This lessened the numbers of the guard, but since they could now rely on Halko's own honor guard, they were more than ready to deal with more of the vile creatures. The captain of the guard including ten other men and the Azure Knight reformed their shield wall and acted as the vanguards for Halko, being the first to engage any threat. Their confidence renewed they managed to lay waste to most of the enemies that they met with, while the Azure Knight made sure to protect the guardsmen flank, intercepting any Night Lurkers who got behind the shield wall. During the few occasions a Night Lurker got pasted them, they usually ran towards Lord Halko, only to be unceremoniously cut down by his personal guards. Between fighting off the Night Lurkers with the guardsmen, the Azure Knight had acquired for herself a crossbow from one of the literally fallen sentries, who's lack of a leg signified that he was likely dead. She used it occasionally, firing it one handed at a Night Lurker to weaken it before she and the other guardsmen took it down.
