About this image

As you enter into the house, you see the captain arguing with who you can only assume is the residence owner. Three guards are climbing the stairs to the second floor. Everything seems to be chaos, and you’re not sure where you should go. There are shouts from upstairs, and suddenly your entire body vibrates as you hear “Fus, ro dah!” You see a blast wave of force and two guards flying down the stairway, crashing into the floor. Along with them came their swords, which spin with such speed that they stuck into the floor and wall. Above them comes a third guard, who looks as though he received the direct force of the blast. He flies past you, smashing through the window to your right. As he is pushed through the glass, his body is sliced in several places, causing blood to spray outward. The owner of the house screams as she shields herself from the blood. Only a second had past, and before you can react, the woman in silver charges down the stairs. You raise your sword, but she ducks low, grabs your leg and yells “Krosis!” before yanking you off your feet. She then heads for the basement, and the guard captain chases after her, yelling at you to get up. As you stand and follow after them, more guards pour into the building, some stopping in awe at the bodies splayed across the floor and various objects embedded into the wall. As you follow the captain down the stairs, you come up behind him, both of your swords raised to face the woman now backed up against a wall. She had thrown her lantern down, and unhooked her crimson cloak. She held up a sword, which you guessed she had gotten from one of the guards, and her other hand was posed as if she were holding a magic spell. She looked at you both, and you looked back. You can see that she is ready to kill if she had to, and seeing what she had done to the other guards, you believe it as well.
