The paladins took a second to register what had happened.
A man had jumped from the second floor to their level. How had this individual managed to enter the building without opening the front gates? Why didn't the paladin at the front gates alert them that an individual had gotten so close? Was he perhaps dead?
A second later, they all charged at Zaroth with their swords raised high.
It was clear that the white-haired man wasn't a believer, and as such, there was no doubt in their minds that it was a threat.
One that needed to be eliminated as fast as humanly possible, as it could pose a danger to the three priestesses.

Taking hold of his daggers firmly in his hands, he brought them to his side as he smiled darkly.
"This will be interesting," he muttered under his breath.
