With Kurtallaç—´ withdrawal Tettet stepped up eagerly to join the fray. Levi decided that the Mothers and their allies needed further bolstering, so he cast a defensive harmony on the group, making their swords and axes swing in concert to block the blows and movements of their foes. Each of the front line had also downed some sort of potion to help them either with increased vitality, speed or strength. Their weapons made a terrible carnage on the giants who opposed them, with Gebhart, Hunnath, Levi, Goned and Siosiann all landing ranged spells amongst the re-enforcements when they were not healing those who had dropped back. Jito, was proving a very difficult opponent for the giants as his multiple images protected him well from any blows that might otherwise have landed, while his speeded attacks kept landing wounds. Hunnath also stepped directly into the fray, the only one of these allies to match their enemies in sheer size. Her borrowed sword and armour seemed to equip her quite well for her purpose. Finally they had killed so many giants, that only the younger ones remained to block their passage to the throne where King Snurre still stood with his entourage.
