Why did he ever think coming back to Sacae's service would ever go well?
Nikang sighed. Not even minutes into actively trying to get into the damn village and things had already gone to shit. He tiredly glanced up at Elisa from Maynette's execution victim, watching with expectant boredom as the crazy axewoman was shot and fell back down to join them.
Idiot.
Nikang pulled the warhammer he'd placed on Belphe and joined Maynette further down the wall. He leaned on the hammer and watched the Sacaen woman scope out her target. At Maynette's nod, Nikang crouched down to center himself, then moved up and forward again, swinging the warhammer hard at the stone wall before them.
One strike opened a crack and shifting of stones, a second strike shifted even more stones, dropping several to the ground, and the third strike broke through the wall entirely, driving a maulhead-sized hole through the wall and back outwards. Nikang ignored the groan of pain from the other side of the wall and struck out again, smashing at the wall a few more times to clear a proper breaching path through it.
Nikang nearly whirled around and smashed somebody when the fireball whirled past his head and up towards the rooftop of the house immediately across the new hole. He still did whirl back outside the hole to avoid getting shot like Elisa had, however, and glared at the damn woman in disbelief and indignation.
"...fuckin mage?!" He hissed, ignoring the crazy behind him in favor of focusing on the one in front of him. "Hnggg!"

Smith groaned and stumbled backwards into the wall of the building the archers were on. He'd been hit by a stone from the wall when it suddenly exploded, showering him with small pebbles and stones, one of which had hit him just above the eye. Dizzied, but not out, he leaned against the building to regain his focus.
Above him, both archers snarled and retreated from the rooftop as it started to burn. They both shot towards the newly formed hole in the wall as they backed away to a ladder behind them, their arrows strangely lighting up the night sky and leaving a faint trace of Light magic in the ground where they hit.
