The suddenly appearing Howling Banshee fired her shuriken pistol continuously at Barabas Dantioch as she moved at high speed, the clanging sounds of cutting striking the surface of his power armor.
Barabas Dantioch calmly pulled the trigger of his master-crafted plasma pistol. Scorching beams containing destructive force erupted in rapid succession, forcing the Howling Banshee to dodge again and again. With the Aeldari's fragile physique, she could never withstand plasma fire without using psychic power.
