attack

You look around and see the possibility. "There are only two guards." You whisper. Arthem just nods briefly and sneaks away, Glom does the same. The two silently approached the guards. Now they just needed a distraction to do their work. You grab a heart and step out of the darkness. The two guards notice you and, startled, point their spears at you. "Hal..." Begins one of them to shout, but his shout ends in a gurgle as Glom cuts his throat. Arthem was even faster. His target didn't even have a chance to make a sound.

Alarmed by the shout, three more men rushed out of the huts. "Bastards!" One of the three hissed and attacked. You four are going to be in a tough fight. You're just trying to get by with your human powers.

Suddenly you hear a familiar voice scream in pain, ending abruptly. You spin around and just see Glom being cut down by a large man with a sword. This attacker was not one of the three alerted. *There were more.* Shoots through your head. Of the original three enemy fighters, none were left. But there was something strange about this new fighter. He moves faster than you expected. But before he can attack you, Arthem and Vertu charge at him.

You tighten your grip on your dagger and are about to attack as well, but before you can do anything, he dives under your comrades' attacks and puts them both down with one swipe. Then you realize it, the hilt of his sword is studded with those transparent stones. The big man strokes the stone with a smile and nothing happens. "You filthy human will die for your actions." He murmurs darkly to you.

"Ascended" It twitches through your head.
