This would explain the large lump of ash. "YOl" the dragon breaths fire at the single mage while the Republic Guards recharge their spells and reload their crossbows. All of Tyranil's arrows would have slipped in between the wards, if the mages had not all shifted position slightly, and so all of the arrows were just as harmless as the last bunch. As Tyranil was about to shoot again, he heard a low rumbling coming from his right. Quickly dissipating his bow, Tyranil once again summoned his scythe and dodged the dragon's fire just in time, letting his momentum swing him around and stab the dragon in the back.

As the dragon flew awkwardly, eventually crash-landing in the ash, the Shadow Soldiers were making short work of the small ambush group behind Tyranil. Two or three had been killed by crossbows, but those were no good up close. As the crossbowmen had not expected a close range battle, they'd only brought daggers, and were getting sliced up almost instantly by the Shadow Soldiers' swords.
