Chapter 251 - Raising Inferno (part two) (1/2)

[Create Breach: Everspire: Elynmoor]

Nix stepped through the Breach with Mina, her Vilas, Milat, Halla, and Ducky. The sound of gunfire and weapons crashing into armor was the first sound he heard. ”Halla stay behind us and take cover when we get closer.”

[Summons: Cal, Tor, Shadai]

Nix pointed to the sky. ”Stay airborne, provide us healing and ranged support

/Expedition: Nix: Ronnie! Report!

/Expedition: Ronnie: A small company of natives has managed to come over the walls near the Inn. We are holding them at Market Square. Chael and Bali have set-up on a nearby roof and are keeping more reinforcements from joining in.

/Expedition: Nix: Where are the rest of our snipers and Zeta team?

/Expedition: Ronnie: Zeta is holding our camp from being overrun. Darsi, Moki, and Dalton were headed to the east wall to provide fire support, they've been cut off and are in a squirmish.

/Expedition: Nix: We'll go after the sniper team, we need them on the east wall to finish this fight. Continue to hold the camp.

/Expedition: Ronnie: They are super-resistant to fire and water damage. They carry guns and blades; heavy caliber handguns and shotguns. I even saw a few hammer wielders among them.

/Expedition: Nix: Understood. Sending Halla to your location. Make sure he stays safe.

Nix opened a breach to the market square and waited until Halla stepped through.

/Expedition: Ronnie: Is Halla a ferret-man?

/Expedition: Nix: Yes, they are called Che.

/Expedition: Ronnie: The Che guy is here. No worries.

Nix sprinted down the side street that headed toward the eastern wall. The sounds of gunfire became louder as they closed on the scene. ”Our snipers don't have a healer and aren't equipped for melee, let's get in the fight!”

The Arch Winds immediately circled the area, a flash of light and Cal was sent crashing into a nearby rooftop. The remaining two banked away and came up behind the snipers from Inferno.

/Inferno: Nix: Careful, they shot some sort of netting at Cal and brought him down.

The sniper team were being pinned down by a half dozen fighters that were trying to flank them. Three melee fighters who weren't actively fighting moved to intercept Nix and his companions.

A large man with wide shoulders and bulging muscles walked casually toward Nix. In his hand, he hefted a great sword that was nearly five feet in length. The man's brown face looked like it was coated with dark mud, cracks littered the surface like a shattered mirror. On top of his head, he wore a skull cap equipped with the antlers of some great beast.

Nix summoned his scimitar and stepped in to test the man's strength. An instant later their blades collided in a deafening clash of steel. The great sword was cut in half and Nix's sword cut deep into the man's chest, driving him backward.

Yago the strong has been stunned.

[Charm]

Ducky has convinced Ulthor to fight for her.

Ducky immediately sent Ulthor after their own range fighters that were trying to pin down the Inferno snipers.

Milat targeted the hammer wielder that charged toward him.

[Oil Slick]

Borsh the crazed has fallen into an oil slick.

Mina sent two Vilas at the fallen man and continued toward the range fighters.

Milat gripped the great hammer in his hands and charged forward. A loud battle cry that he had never heard before was shouted from his lips.
