"DUCK!"
At Lily's words, the 6 students dove toward the ground, narrowly avoiding the slash as it whizzed right above their heads.
Glancing ahead, Lily looked at where the cloaked figure had been previously, but he was no longer there. In fact, he wasn't anywhere in their sight; he had disappeared right back into the smoke.
Snapping Lily out of her thoughts, Liam spoke up with his sword aimed towards the smoke.
"It's just one of them."
"Even if it's just one... we have to get to the exit and defeat him while he just has to stop us from clearing out the exit."
Nodding at Alya's words, Lily regrouped with others, her wand ready to cast a spell at any moment.
"We need to do something about that smoke."
"Oh, good fucking insight, Captain Obvious. What? Are you going to tell us we need to escape this room next?"
"Kevin and Liam. Is this really the time?"
