Agor is a warrior, Tanis is a battle mage and Shefna is a cleric. They are a strong team and can fight against many without breaking a sweat.

Now they are standing strong as they had many times before, facing a fierce group of warlocks. There are five of them, all dressed in a dark cloak shadowing their faces. Unrecognisable and mysterious, yet know by many and feared by more.

They wore dark armor underneath that clink  with their steps, obvious in a battle but not much worry in their eyes. They spoke in pauses and what they spoke, are of little words.

"Not welcome" said the one on the left of the person in the middle.

"You must" said the one behind the warlock on the right side of the one in the middle, in a woman's voice.

"Die" said the middle clocked figure, then raised his arm up high. The two man and woman behind the left and right warlocks, took a step back and started chanting.

"They work fast, don't they" said agor, while stepping forward and raising his sward and shield. The muscles on his arms shook, the veins on his neck throbbed while a thin blue aura materialize around him. Agor has activated his third level skill to enhance his strength.

"Ha ha ha. Good, then sooner they die" declared Tanis. Then he too lifted his shield and raised his staff over his head. His whole body is is illuminated from a greenish light then it started to grow and soon cover the party ina dome shaped magic barrier.

Shefna has a cross bow hung on her belt and no weapon in her hands. She gently lifted her hands one glowing green and the other black. She has taken a defensive stance and silenced herself.

The middle warlock has finished his spell and a dark purple circle has apeared above his head facing the party of three. The circle is decorated with unknown words spiraling around. Three strips of  lightning are hovering around the warlock.

Then a sucksion force apeared in the spell circle and those stripes of lightning ate drawen to it. The lightning flashed as soon as the magic barrier of Tanis has apeared around the party. Then a powerful lightning attacked the said barrier in a forceful manner.

Tanis took a half a step back and brought his shield closer. Then the second lightning struck and the arm that is raising the staff of twin elements is put down in a forceful manner. The magic barrier is shattered and the third lightning came straight at agor who is in the front.

Agor breathed out a few word and shifted his legs and arms firmly taking a defensive stance the armor and the shield un his arm slashed in a blue radiance right before the lightning struck. The lightning git scattered  in hundreds if flashes, weakening the light on the shield as it did.

Even though the start is with a powerful attacks. The battle is far from over.

The warlock from behind has finished their buff spell and the other three now has three balls of light circling around them.

Shefna recognised this spell, it's a high level skill that can protect a person from three life or death situations.

"I can use a curse to lower it's power" said Shefna, lifting her hand with the black glow and aiming it at the warlocks. The ground near her feet darkened and circles of unknown words apeared centering Shefna. A skull shaped silhouette formed behind her head in dark smoke at the same time another skull apeared above the heads of the warlocks up in the sky. It's eyes flashed while it placed it's dark bottomless holes where the eyes should be, glanced at the group of five. It then screamed in a soundless skreach and dived straight at them, hell bent on devouring those men.

The the warlocks looked up and stared but there is nothing they can do the skull arrived at them and crashed in a cloud of smoke. The  lights hovering around the three men have dimmed at a remarkable speed but has not gone out. The two men at the back, one had his cloak blown out revealing his hairless head tattooed with words and patterns in dark ink. He has gone down in one knee exhausted, breathing hard.
