"Three!" The two of them both lunged forward, catching both parties off-guard. The battle would start now, and Devotion and Ysmir were dictating that!
Devotion thought for sure that this would end in one exchange, with Devotion taking the head of the leader, but luck was not on his side. This leader of the group was much more trained in combat experience than most of Devotion's recent opponents, and raised her sword in time, blocking Devotion's attack.
With a loud clang, the two swords collided, and Devotion's attack was knocked to the side. Just like that, all hell broke loose.
Leza loosed a flurry of arrows at one of those party members, who responded by producing a large tower shield and hiding behind it, Victor put both hands out and summoned a smaller, ape like creature that was easier to control, and Alex let loose a string of fire balls, performing complicated hand seals to maintain them. The clearing instantly went from calm to chaotic.
