Volarano and Eirik took off after the others, taking down as many enemies as they could as they ran in hot pursuit.

Morrigan attempted to keep up but was having trouble doing so while trying to defend herself as well, slashing and dodging while trying to follow the others in a steady pursuit, having taken up the rearguard. She was at the edge of the forest and still retreating when a guard whose armor was covered in blood suddenly broke through the line and charged her, wielding a shield and a mace with a blood-covered head that was roughly about the size of a small man's skull.

In her weakened state, Morrigan didn't stand a chance. The man raised her shield and charged like a bull, and Morrigan attempted to move aside. She was caught by surprise when the man's lumbering charge suddenly turned into a swing, only barely catching the handle with her blade as the man swung around and swept upwards at her ribs. When the man swung again with his elbow bent in a traditional novices' swing, she quickly took a step backwards, hoping to avoid the head as it went past. She was not so lucky. The man suddenly extended his forearm like a slaver cracking a whip, and although she made a last-ditch attempt to block it with her longsword, the mace simply shattered the blade (although it still absorbed a lot of the impact) and went crashing into the side of Morrigan's face. She hit the ground hard and didn't get back up.

The man then turned his attention on the rest of the group, but was rewarded with nothing but an arrow through his eye, sent by Volarano, who then swiftly moved Morrigan out of harm's way with telekinesis and over to him with telekinesis before grabbing her up and swiftly retreating along with the others, stopping only to grab his arrow and put it back in his quiver before he took off in hot pursuit.
