Joshua shot the bard a look. Though neither could see the other in the near pitch black, the bandits lantern having tumbled down and just gone out, he shot her a suddenly annoyed look. Though not specifically fond of her meek act, her change came off as harsh. "As you wish, your grace. Just cover your eyes for a moment."
The pyromancer was the first through the door, though in the instant he was through, he summoned a brilliant white flame that succeeded in blinding most of the men. A familiar voice cursed and sputtered; indeed, the one-eyed bandit had come for his own petty revenge. But he was on the other side of the room, suddenly stumbling over a chair.
Joshua ignored him, advancing on the nearest bandit, uselessly flailing with his sword. The smith needed only blow sparks from his hand and the spell set fire to the other man's face. He screamed as his skin sizzled, dropping his sword to the floor as he clawed vainly at his burns. The smith took the hilt of his dagger to the bandits temple, knocking him cold.
By now, a fallen lantern, likely dropped in the confusion of Joshua's luminous explosion, has spilled fuel, setting a small fire to the tavern by which Tara could likely see.
