The darkness didn't last long for Jin-Sil, whose eyes fluttered open to the deafening roar of flames and the almost blistering heat they shed as a torrent of fire ate away at a nearby wall.
The roar of flames was only drowned out occasionally by the clap of thunder and explosions in the opposite direction.
It took Jin-Sil a second to adjust to this sudden cacophony, wincing as the sound threatened to blow her eardrums out with every thunderclap.
"I can't hold the wall much longer!" Rì-Chū's voice entered her ears.
"The cave isn't large enough for a brawl of this magnitude! Hold it as long as you can, Rì-Chū!" Kary replied to him.
Jin-Sil looked around, noticing Cory at her side but looking away from her and everyone on high alert.
She saw their front liners taking care of breaching kobolds, heard the loud thud of something smashing against the stone her lover was trying to maintain, and the noisy din of the rest of them trying to chip away at the cavern's walls.
