Drawing upon his experiences in the Hunt, Terios sidesteps to the right twice and stares at the edge of the radiance, straining to hear any movement whatsoever.

Lorwen stands and observes as the fire elementals all lock on to the group. Seeing the first elemental miss he is hopeful of escaping the encounter without any harm but soon he realises the mistake. As second and third strike their targets true, Lorwen patiently waits for them to make a mistake. As FE4 misses Terios, he uses his skills to slide him away from harm and take one of the elementals off from his own side.

Nearly overwhelmed by the fire creatures, Mika learns that pain is one of the feelings that weren't diminished by her change as their flames burn her cold flesh. Knowing that she won't survive another attack like that, the warrior attacks all four creatures around her with a wide, incredibly fast spinning jump kick and immediately following up with a quick barrage of stomps and kicks to use her enemies' openings while they last. Mika's stance looks incredibly stable, indomitable like a mountain, even to someone unfamiliar with the facets of combat. "Lorwen, stay back!"

Despite her whirling speed, Mika is still very aware of everything that is going on on the battlefield. Memory and her trained eye tell her that the fire beast next to Terios lacks the wariness coming with being wounded for the first time in battle, a circumstance that leaves it wide open to the warrior. Her powerful legs launch Mika high into the air, one leg outstretched during her somersault, painting a glowing crecent into the dark because of the magical flames clinging to her. She lands next to Terios and brings her heel crashing down onto the fire beast with so much force as if she wanted to shatter the ground below and the beast into a thousand embers.

The fire elemental approaches the gnome, corners it and hits. Feeling no pain, Lorwen laughs and mocks the monster: "Is that the best you can?! I can't even feel it." Soon the laughter changes to a small itch ending with burning pain. "Wha.. No! Now you see me, now you don't!" and he disappears.
Sneaking away from the monster, he takes a better position and aims a shot at the shabby looking one. He finishes his set of actions by helping Mika recover some vitality, sliding her to block off the Fire Elemental and then trying to put out the fire.

Following Lorwen's cue, Mika fluidly steps between the bard and the fire beast. "You will not harm him ever again, I will make sure of that," the warrior snarls. She brings down her burning fist onto the beast to pin and crush it with the weight of the mountains she was taught and drilled to emulate, her sheer force and desire to protect scattering and extinguishing the flames clinging to her defiled body.
