They encountered a few darkspawn, mainly stragglers on their way to the tower, but the tower itself was not the easy assignment that they had thought it to be. It turned out that the tower was crawling with the blighted creatures. The top where the beacon awaited was guarded by a rheumy eyed Ogre, spittle dripping from its maw.
Jess glanced to Alistair then to Fen "I'll deal with the Ogre. You two light the beacon and get to safety as quickly as possible and don't look back. No matter what.” Fen nodded, motioning to Alistair to light the beacon, then placed himself with his bow drawn so that he could cover both of them "Stay safe lethallan." Jess nodded then charged at the beast, first sliding under and cutting his ankles. He quickly snatched her up with a tight grip after whipping around. Struggling to break free, the ogre slammed her down to the floor. She let out an agonizing scream as she collide with the stoned floor. Repeatedly, one after another till her screams grew quieter like a muffled sound.
Fen swung into action firing shots into the creature, first arrow was a solid hit to the neck. The Ogre roared in pain as he turned to face the angry white haired elf. The second stuck in its meaty arm as it moved to block the incoming arrow. Fen quickly dashed to position himself between Jess and the ogre. Dropping his bow he drew out his daggers and prepared for its charge. Jess struggled more while the pain shot through her body. The ogre then move past Fen, picking Jess back up and threw her into a wall. Flinging across the area she slammed into the bricked wall, back first. Jess could barely breathed after the impact. Fen charged the creature, ducking beneath it's swinging arms to sink his blade into its chest. The Ogre roared pulling the elf from its chest and tossing him aside. Fen hit the floor of the tower turning the momentum into a controlled roll, then flew at the blighted creature... a blur of steel sheathing his dagger in its flesh. Fen rushed to Jess's side cursing in elvish after the beast dropped motionless. Alistair chuckled in the background. "Just like a darkspawn, no matter how many holes you put in it, it just refuses to admit it's dead." He walked over to Fen, handing him a healing potion. "Give her this and she'll be right as rain."
Fen nodded, making sure Jess took every last drop. Jess made very little movement with her unconscious body and let out mumbles softly. Worried, Fen brushed the hair back from her face. Alistair tapped him upon the shoulder, pointing behind the elf. "I don't think we're alone." The junior Warden rushed the masses of Darkspawn teaming through the door, losing his footing as the tower shook and crumbled. The last thing Fen remembered was the need to protect Jess from the falling debris, then darkness.
