[SEASONAL EVENT] Diamond Dust

what. Ronin's eyes were wide and wild, and the guildmaster felt a curious warmth from his right ear supplemented by a horrible ringing - later he would realise it was blood and that the creature, the... banshee, or something, had thoroughly - but hopefully only temporarily - ruined his hearing and balance. The eagle came and went in a flurry of claws and feathers and Remi (thank Safrin for Remi in that moment) grasped his arm and spurred him into motion. The world tilted sickeningly as Ronin tried to get his feet under him, and blood pounded in his ears as the screeching just didn't end. He glanced up in time to see a heavy chunk of ice and snow begin to plummet towards them, the ex-captain swearing under his breath and knowing with a lurch of fear that they wouldn't be fast enough to get out from under it. "Remi!" He called more to get the alchemist's attention, reaching out to grasp his coat and drag him back - a gesture that would, at first, seem foolish. Then Ronin turned and raised his gauntlet, as if it was attached to an invisible shield-- And a warm pulse of light radiated out and over them. The mounds of snow battered against it but did not break through, and would hopefully slow the banshee if nothing more.
