Faeron’s weapon looked like a copper rifle with a scope. A bright orange gemstone sat at the tip of the barrel, while six yellow ones ran along the side. Three of them were dull, while the other three glowed brightly.

James opened his mouth to speak, but Karim beat him to it. “Faeron,” he said coolly.

Faeron’s eyes lit up when he saw Karim. “Well, look who it is, the pride of House Fractus.” Behind him, the other Dwarves laughed. They were all between levels 25 and 49. Emboldened by their reaction, Faeron took another step forward, his eyes flicking from Karim to the two Humans and an Elf behind him.

“Oh no,” he said. “First you let King Terrin die, and now this.” He tutted sympathetically. “What a shame, and House Fractus was already on probation.” The false sympathy melted from his face. “Looks like House Diles has a good chance of rising to the ranks of noble house.” Slowly, he raised his gun. “Especially after I apprehend you helping the enemy.”

As if it were a signal, six of the Dwarves charged forward. The two thickest ones took one step forward, so that they were slightly in front of Faeron. Each of them wore heavy armor and carried a shield.

Karim reacted quickly. He shot off an arrow toward each of the tanks guarding Faeron, and a third arrow toward Faeron himself.

The Sharpshooter fired a bolt of white-hot flames toward Karim while his two tanks easily blocked Karim’s arrows with their shields.

Karim dodged the bolt just as the Dwarves who’d rushed ahead reached the traps. With a series of loud snaps, four of the bear traps snapped shut. Two of the guards avoided the traps and moved forward to engage.

James took a half -step forward before he remembered that he was trying to avoid close combat. Instead of engaging them directly, he cast Arcane Teleport and took a second to survey the battlefield.

Karim had an arrow nocked and pointed at Faeron, but the Sharpshooter’s two tanks were already positioned to block it. Meanwhile, Faeron had the rifle pointed directly at Karim.

James decided to let the two higher level fighters be for a second. Instead, he focused on Nidra and Arik. Arik was frozen mid-step with a warhammer in each hand, between Nidra and the two Dwarves who’d gotten past the traps.

James absorbed the battlefield information in an instant. Then he acted.

The biggest threats in the fight weren’t the damage dealers, they were the two tanks. If James could distract them, then Karim would be able to deal with Faeron. Without Tyrfing, James wasn’t sure he could deal enough damage to the Sharpshooter to kill him in one blow, but he knew Karim could.

James crossed the frozen battlefield and positioned himself behind the enemy. When time resumed, he cast Arcane Missile.

He felt the difference immediately as the upgraded spell pulsed through him, draining three times the Essence it had before.

Three missiles of pure Arcane energy shot from his hand. One each for the tanks, and one for the Sharpshooter.
