The barrier around Desmond flashed with every attack as Desmond daftly parried and blocked the assault from the monk's bladed fists. Â The remaining archer was notching another arrow as Adolar did the same.
"Stay low, love" Kayle whispered as he drew his odd blade from it's sheath at the small of his back. Â He suddenly jolted forwards and shouted "Stone!"
The archer, startled by Kayle shout, quickly focused his aim on him. Â Kayle smirked for a brief moment; the ruse worked. Â With the archer's focus diverted, Adolar let fly a shaft that buried itself well into the man's ribs. Â He screamed and let loose his arrow, catching Kayle in the left shoulder. Â Kayle eyes welled up from the pain and he let out a cry as thrust his blade into the archer's gut and swept it upwards. Â The archer leaned back and fell to the ground as Kayle grabbed at the arrow sticking out of his shoulder and looked to Desmond's attacker.
