Seeking to do battle with the puppeteer rather than get entangled in the strings of the puppets, Keranos falls back from the menacing Shining Guard, the undead knight not missing the opportunity to take a swing at the young godling as he does so. With a clap of thunder, the swirling vortex of shadows is flung backwards as Keranos's spell makes contact with Crullus at its epicenter and launches him through the air with a pained cry.
Turning to the ramparts and courtyards and windows of the fort, Fhiess makes an impassioned plea for assistance against the seemingly indefatigable might of Crullus and his enspidered soldiers. There is an answering ruckus in reply, and Fhiess can see the tips of spears over the heads of the onlookers and shouted curses as guards try to make their way through the throngs of people, but the crowd is thick and the passages are narrow, slowing their progress.
Opting to suffer injury instead of allowing the sphere of fog to disperse, the arrow from the bow knight's greatbow pierces his armor and bites deeply into his flesh. Gritting his teeth, he opts to use a healing word not on himself, but rather on Ludwig to ensure the J'Raffa has strength within him to get away from the pursuing knights that seem so intent on cutting him down. He follows this up with another burst of fire precisely calculated to destroy the ever-increasing number of spiders and armored archer in their midst. Singed and blackened, the knight draws its bow and prepares to fire at Thosar, but a bolt through the head fired by Sagishi's crossbow drops it like a sack of potatoes. What seem to be embers come pouring out, but upon closer inspection are revealed to be tiny spiders thrashing about as fire consumes them.
As Ludwig gains his feet once more and beats a retreat from danger, Galen opts to try to slow the deadly knights with a flurry of arrows fired from his longbow. While the ineffectual pinging of arrowheads bouncing off plate and shield are effective in pinpointing their location in the fog, but has little effect otherwise.
Unimpressed, unaware, or unconcerned of the dwindling number of allies, the Shining Guard harassing Keranos advances in an almost mechanical parade march, stepping into the last pace to swing his sword through the space that Keranos occupied only a heartbeat earlier, but following through on the return stroke in a bid to catch him off guard.
The remaining members of what have become Crullus's personal vanguard march out of the fog and turn at the bottom of the stairs to doggedly pursue Ludwig. Finding the long-legged quadruped quite out of reach, however, they settle their attention on Galen. The lead of their number swings and misses so widely that it nearly knocks itself off balance in the process. But before Galen can celebrate the lumbering awkwardness of his opponent, it recovers and lunges forward with a deadly stab.
The dark manifestation of Crullus's twisted will begins to move downward, and amidst the shadows the oathbreaker can barely be glimpsed to be limping along. But rather than take the opportunity to heal himself, he advances until his aura laps at Ludwig's feet and consumes Galen utterly. Raising his empty hand before him, he faces Galen as though he means to crush him within his grip as he slowly clenches his fist. The shadows seem to gain form and press in around the ranger, seeking to crush him in darkness...
