Situation
As Ace was busy making pills, his teammates were occupied with the emperor.
Anna was using her crows to gather information for the emperor.
Emma was healing the soldiers who entered battle, either from sneak attacks by the ogres or from injuries sustained during sneak attacks against the ogres.
Chris, on the other hand, was taking care of loose ends.
The ogres advanced on him with thunderous roars, their grotesque faces contorted in rage. Chris took a deep breath, his eyes narrowing in determination. He channeled the power of fire, igniting his sword with searing flames that danced along its blade.
As the first ogre swung its massive club towards him, Chris ducked, narrowly avoiding the crushing blow. With a swift and precise movement, he slashed his flaming sword across the ogre's thigh, leaving a trail of sizzling skin. The ogre howled in agony, stumbling backward.
