The room shook with his footsteps. Bobbles and trinkets rattled with his lumbering steps. Before him a hallway led to the front door and the landing for the stairway. Groth stopped as movement broke out above him.
"Who's there?" he heard the old ghost shout. This confused Groth as the question was not directed to him. He heard a second mumble which sounded more familiar, and then a third.
"Ahhh, it's you Auren!" hissed the distinct voice of Kateria.
Groth made his charge to the stairway.
Auren steps out from behind the wall to see Lord Kincep floating above a table and Kateria ready to move. She swiftly makes her way for the far window. As she rushes past Auren, he strikes out slicing her clean. The black assassin stumbles from the pain and Auren attacks again leaving a deeper gash.
Hearing the screams, Groth charges up the stairs, turning sideways to fit.
"We'll finish this later." Kateria scowled and rolled out the window.
Tumbling to the ground below in a shower of glass the black assassin hits the ground and tumbles. She rises to face the entire party circling her. 'Wrong window' she thought to herself.
Above wood splinters as Groth widens the hole that she had just fell through. He lands in a heap just before her. She cuts at him with her poison blade and he back away feeling it's effects.
She turns and sees the missile coming for her. She knows that it is too late.
Phae does a fist pump as she drops.
