The guard on the right fell to his knees, retching onto the ground. A loud moan escaped his lips between spouts of bile. Abcan cocked an eyebrow and swung his attention back to the other two. The fog was beginning to wear thin, causing his Light touched sight to be able to see the guards in finer detail. A third shadow seemed to be moving behind the guards, coming away from the first that fell to his knees.

“You know, I once heard this old legend about a monster called Jack O’ the Wisps. Have you boys ever heard the tale?” Abcan called out mockingly to the two guards off to his right – luring them in closer.

The third shadow crept closer, moving behind the guard on Abcan’s right.

Through his enhanced senses, Abcan heard the distinct sound of metal clicking on metal. The guard to his right dropped to his knees and began to empty his gullet onto the ground, much like the first guard. The last one standing suddenly began to look around, completely ignoring Abcan as he moved in closer – the crossbow pointed directly at his skull.
