Taking down half of the Circle’s numbers wasn’t enough to stop the fight. The enemy had split up, scattering around the chamber in search of protected firing positions. Fortunately, the enemy’s actions remained uncoordinated. Better still, they were indecisive. That was good; the druids probably didn’t realize that they had the runners outnumbered, outgunned, and out-magicked. The imbalance of magicians was what worried Sam the most. Flashes and bursts of sound and smell from the far side of the chamber raised his worry to fear as Estios and Chatterjee came under magical attack. Their defenses and luck were holding, though, and the sharp buzzsaw sound of their G12s made it clear that they were still functional.
