Xander Morhaime:
Descending into the catacombs, you found the place dryer, but not by much. The rough stone walls helped keep some of the damp out, but didn't stop it completely, so there was moss growing here and there, puddles on the floor, mud, and the smell was quite horrible too. The walls were lined with alcoves where bodies had been piled, wrapped in shrouds or encased in caskets, though these at least seemed the serious kind of dead people, less prone to lurching about looking for brains to devour. Still, it seemed like this room was starting to exceed its storage capacity...

Two corridors led from the room, branching off in opposite directions. Unable to find anything to tell them apart, you simply picked the right-hand exit on a whim and went with it. With only the occasional guttering torch on the wall to light the way, the walk through the corpse-lined corridor was less than pleasant. More alcoves in the walls, more caskets standing around on the floor...

Eventually, you came out into a larger chamber, lit by two large firebowls. The walls here were lined with stacks of coffins in addition to the wall alcoves, and the stone floor had given way in the middle of the room to a murky pool. Another corridor led out of the opposite side of the room, and it was through this corridor that another group entered... a party of five grim-looking men in heavy armour, with large shields and swords drawn, followed closely by a pair of men in hooded white robes. Spotting you, the knights did not look at all happy, and two immediately began approaching you in a decidedly unfriendly manner, weapons held ready and shields raised defensively.

S.K. Ren:
Rising to the challenge, Ma'kirr raced ahead of the group. Homing in on the two nearest knights she impaled the one on the right. Without pausing for breath she kicked the man to left, drawing out her spear in the process.

Gargulec:
Tristan followed the shifter. He wanted to warn the knights not to give their lives in vain, he wanted to tell them to run, but he he simply could not. It would jeopardize the mission, and he was not able to do so any more.

Moving fast, he charged at the second member of the Silent Order, ramming him with his shield.

'To my utter dishonour, I am obliged to end your service, Knight' he uttered the challenging.

- "Bloody large room." - Ryltar complained while running up to the edge of water then drew a small crossbow and fired a quick shot at one of the monks.

Disclamer: Any and tall inconsistencies in Ryltar's abilities this fight come from testing a new build.

Xander Morhaime:
Despite the battering he received from Ma'kirr, the knight lived up to his name, barely even letting out a grunt despite his severe wounds. The other knight that went with him, the one that Tristan picked for his target, hardly budged when the paladin smashed into him, meeting his blow with his own shield.

Ryltar's crossbow bolt must have caught the monk in the throat - he grasped at it and collapsed to the ground in a gurgling heap. Seeing this, the knights on the other flank seemed to look even less friendly when they focused on Ryltar. With no battlecry, they simply dashed forward, charging into the Drow and slashing at him with their swords, leaving him quite badly wounded.
