Shad rushed and retrieved his sword and engaged in combat with another of Laus's guards. It wasn't as difficult as the first. Dodge the oncoming thrust, get in close, stab in the throat. It was a bit of luck to land such a critical hit early, but it was more than enough. Shad heard wood shatter as Cecily blew the doors open to the throne room. Shad felt a burst of energy all of the sudden, no doubt thanks to her galdrar. So, recklessly, he charged into the throne room, ahead of the others. Before he could even see who was in the chamber, four arrows had struck him. One deflected off his left pauldron, one pierced his right shoulder, one in his gut, and the last got stuck in his chest plate, right near his heart. "Thank Elimine for this armor."

Before a second volley hit him, he rolled out of the way, causing a bit more pain as the arrows in his shoulder and stomach both broke in the roll. He found a pillar to hide behind. He sheathed his sword and pulled out the fire time once more and launched a fireball haphazardly towards the archers. "Archers! Look out!" He yelled to others.
