DEATH TRAIN

Rhen notched an arrow of anima and fired at the first yeti. The projectile speared straight through its chest and into the head of the yeti right behind it. They both went down with a thud. Rhen wanted to kill as many of them in the dungeon as he could, making sure they had plenty of time to harvest their cores before they disappeared.

He backed up a few paces and fired two more shots, each striking their targets. The yeti were moving with angry purpose now, charging him. Rhen turned and used Swift Twitch to propel himself down the hall. He looked back and took a few more shots, hitting two yetis through the stomach with one shot. These razor whisker cores were no joke.

The tumbling bodies slowed down the others, and Rhen was able to get off another three before he had to turn tail for the exit.

“Lots!” Rhen yelled.

White light from outside filled his vision, and he carefully dodged the carcasses on the way out. Didn’t want to trip and die from a yeti stampede. He slid out into the snow and turned, firing three more rapid shots into the darkness. The light of the arrows illuminated the targets as they went through legs, stomachs, and arms.

There was a tall rock a few feet down that would serve to give him good line of sight on the cave entrance, while keeping him out of range from groping arms. He shouldered his bow and used a Tremor Blast jump to clear the distance in a single leap. He dropped to a knee on the snowy rock and notched another arrow.

“Here they come!” Jakira yelled from the side of the cave, her voice projected with Defender’s Cry. Rhen felt his trembling hands become steady, and his vision sharpened.

He loosed another arrow into the crowd, straight through an eye and into a chest. The anima flowed easily from his core through his arms and into the bow, and he fired arrow after arrow. The bodies piled up at the cave exit, making it harder for the train to escape.

The first one broke through and Jakira smashed its skull with a heavy swing of her mace. She hit the second one at the knees and it tumbled into the snow. “Fighters, pin it down!”

Ulecks and Eli leapt into action, scoring careful hits until the monster dropped dead.

“For those outside the cave, remove cores quickly! Bort, can you do that?” Rhen asked, lining up for another shot at the monsters deeper in the cave. They just kept coming.

“Okay,” the mule said with a little exasperation. “But if I die…”

“Yeah, yeah!” Jakira ground out as she caved in a chest. “You’ll never forgive us!”

Alex and Olliat took up position above the cave entrance. Olliat used her hooked scythe to catch the neck of a taller yeti on its way out. The blade cut through and the monster tumbled into the snow. Alex pounced on the rended yeti, finishing it with a few swift stabs.
