Abiorn faces off with the Black Mages

..and dies.

After denying their proposal and Abiorn giving the sign, Rodlin sprung from the nearby trees to hit one in the back of the neck with an arrow, Abiorn fired a thunderclap to land one on the ground, though the other managed to get off enough magics to kill both Rodlin and Abiorn when it was all said and done.

Luckily they never saw Rodlin's face... though one gnome is going to be looking over his shoulder a bit more now.
