The wind shrieked with an unyielding ferocity, its howls reverberating through the desolate expanse.
The adventurers battled valiantly against the tempestuous gale, their hearts filled with a desperate determination to assist the beleaguered Bronze Guards. Alas, their efforts seemed to be in vain. A magician, his brow furrowed in concentration, hoisted his staff aloft. As he brandished it through the air, a flickering flame began to coalesce at its tip. With a final, forceful motion, he launched a fireball hurtling through the maelstrom. But the unforgiving wind had other plans. The fireball managed to travel only a few dozen meters before being swallowed up by the swirling sands. In the brief, abortive explosion that ensued, the flames were instantly rent asunder, torn to shreds by the merciless gusts.
