Glass simply laughed as Orica’s partner took his spell. All that talk about strength and she had a man do all her dirty work. She couldn’t even bring herself to attack his men: she shoved her man-servant into the fray instead. The antics distracted him from Kalin’s shouts.
“Is this the strength of House Tania?” Glass shouted at Orica. “You do all the posturing but have a man do all the real work! Typical noble! You are a waste of my time! Keep on yelling while I show your fellow imperial loyalists true power!”
With that, Glass launched yet another fireball into the sky, intent on landing deeper in the village.

As a result of the push, Paige was safe from the burning building. She found herself on her hands and knees, trying to catch her breath after escaping death. The woman nodded a silent thank you to Shad before addressing the tomes.
Before Paige could answer Shad, Neil had intervened and took one of his tomes. They did indeed contain elder magic. That meant many things, but more importantly, it meant Neil had a chance against the enemy. Kalin’s staff work gave Paige the strength to follow after Neil. She withdrew her rapier as she mounted behind the shaman. Her left arm wrapped around his stomach while her right kept her sword ready.
While Neil took care of one bandit, Paige focused on the one to his right. As the horse passed by, she used the momentum to slash the bandit’s chest. Though not dead, he was gravely wounded and not liable to get off his back any time soon.
“Watch out!” Paige cried. The rest of the bandit crew caught sight of the pair. Just as they were about to make their move, another force ambushed them from behind. The villager volunteers, led by the blacksmith, rode on horseback to do battle with those that sought to destroy and/or subjugate them.
With all the brigands occupied, that left Glass alone to face off Satsume, Orica, Neil, Paige, and Kalin.
