Chapter 19: Battle Against the Dark Elf
August 6
The group comes to the next room with Neiia in front. Neiia notices that there are two enemies ahead and one further behind a table. Kieron moves past Neiia to attack the Dretch in front while the woman behind the table shoots Neiia with her hand crossbow. Ra runs from behind past the others, swings at one enemy twice with his sword and once while falling, tumbling behind the creature to the ground, asking at the same time where the table is. The woman behind the table moves to shoot first Jaysek and then Ra lying on the ground. Neiia notices that Ra is being shot at, so she moves Ra next to the table. Ra tries to get up but can’t.
The woman behind the table reaches over the table and shoots Ra, but Ra knocks the weapon aside. After this, Ra jumps up and sees a dark-skinned elf in front of him. Ra begins fighting with her. The woman drops her crossbow so that it falls to hang directly on her belt, and the woman draws her sword and begins fighting with it against Ra. When Ra retreats backward, the woman puts away her sword, draws her crossbow from her belt, loads it, and shoots with one smooth motion. The woman drops behind the table, and Ra jumps on the table, whereupon the woman jumps over the table behind Ra, whereupon Ra drops behind the table to the ground. From there Ra jumps up, and the woman jumps over the table behind Ra’s back.
Neiia shoots one Dretch with an ice bolt so that it flies backward, hitting Jaysek, who falls backward. Kieron has dropped one of her weapons, drawn a magic potion bottle, and drunk it. Catching the weapon from the air fails, and her hand goes into bad condition as her own sword’s blade hits it.
Kieron is first attacked by two and then later only one enemy, and she can’t accomplish anything against the creatures. Jaysek notices that one of the creatures is trying to summon a friend, so he prevents it, whereupon the creature attacks him. Jaysek and the creature go turning and stumbling in the next room. Ra fights with the woman until he decides to come to the others.
The one attacking Kieron notices that his friend has disappeared, so he summons a friend for himself. This friend also tries to summon a friend, but Neiia prevents it. Neiia shoots demons with ice bolts, but it doesn’t seem to accomplish anything major.
The woman moves to shoot Kieron, whereupon Kieron easily dodges and runs to hide behind the demon while trying to hit the demon in the back but falls to the ground. The woman moves to shoot Ra, and Ra patronizes her about something, whereupon the woman concentrates and shoots some special shot toward Ra, whereupon Ra decides to step aside, and the bolt hits one Dretch, and it freezes in place. Ra strikes the creature a couple of times, and it disappears as smoke into the air.
Jaysek casts a protection spell on Ra, and when the woman shoots the next bolt and Neiia moves Ra out of the way, the bolt follows and is about to hit Ra again, but thanks to Jaysek’s spell, the bolt flies back toward the woman instead. The woman says that this wasn’t a good idea and cancels her previous action. Next, Kieron drops one enemy and Ra another, so only the woman is standing. The woman shoots Kieron with a bolt but doesn’t accomplish anything. The woman tries to cast confusion, and Jaysek tries to nullify the spell but only succeeds in enhancing it more. Everyone still manages to resist the spell.
