"Now, where did the other one go..." The sorcerer looked around. "Come out, come out where ever you-" his singsong chant ended abruptly as several inches of steel protruded from the front of his chest. "Oh, of course..." The sorcerer coughed once before falling to his knees. Nimble pushed the sorcerer off of his blade, face down on the floor.
"Ow..." Rathgar moaned, sitting up.
"'I can freeze the sorcerer so we can kill him' you said 'it'll work' you said. It didn't work Feris...."
"Apparently he was ready for that tactic, but it did distract him." Feris replied, without getting off of the floor.
"And you did kill him." Allianora pointed out.
"But I could have gotten hurt, or worse! We only just got the last warlock's curse removed, and my eyebrows still haven't grown back yet!"
