(It's hard to swing a sword when so many buddies are around you. I would believe the Elite are skilled, but the main issue is accidentally whacking your buddy or even the Potentate if you miss, which is pretty easy against a constantly teleporting enemy (the main issue is a missed power attack will be troublesome). Ecks and Volk are free game (there are replacements from Cyrodiil if Tacitus calls for more), Corentin is currently essential and the other two are protected, as they are sort of the commanders. As for Alyssa, if she died I will need a new female protagonist for Sorin to romance (but that dosen't mean I won't kill her later >:) ))

Tacitus noticed that as he took out more of the Elite guards and all the friendlies around them, they seemed to gain confidence and what were originally simple fights became overt operas of swordplay. Corentin looked and him and nodded, indicating it was time for a tactical retreat. They made hand signs, indicating for all of them to get the hell out of the area around the Potentate. If they couldn't teleport, they would be mincemeat and they could feel the drain. The men recalled to a cliffside, turning invisible. It was time for a new strategy as they waited for their Magicka to refill. They would wait for Tommen to surround the Elite and cut them off, then the five of them will go after the Potentate and slay him (if that happens, things might just work.)

The electrified bats collimated upon a singular spot, reforming into a hooded man, clad in black and silver armor, the sigil of the empire upon his left pauldron. The man looked up, his glowing blue eyes a familiar, yet alien sight. He drew the black katana slung on his back, it's blade giving off a red glow as crimson sparks streamed off. He folded his hood back. Sorin Steelfang had returned.

Sorin engaged the Fosworn, using a combination of deadly swordplay and electrokinesis to dispatch them. He fought his way to Alyssa, noting that he still had five minutes to save her.

(Sorin now uses his Master's blade, the "Immemorial Edge". It has a nice red glow, but more importantly cuts inflicted by the blade do not heal except by magic, plus it destroys armor every strike.)

Alyssa knew that she was killing friendlies when using her powers, but she could only watch as her inner persona controlled her body, slaying every living thing. People would assume she was insane. Not a good thing for her.

(Alyssa has split personality, just that both are conscious at all times. Her alternate persona only comes out when she engages her power and will linger awhile.)
