It's a fuckin' Banshee is quite a thing to yell while hanging off the edge of a wall, especially given that banshees - as you may belatedly remember, Talyson - , do not particularly enjoy being startled. (There's a Left 4 Dead reference in there somewhere, I just have to find it).
Conveniently, as Tal scurries away and Queenie throws down her arms to screech up at the Citadel, Evie calls to fire.
Now, there are a lot of pros and cons to what happens next. On the plus side, it hits - obviously, look at it - and it is 10ft away from the Citadel wall, so no direct damage befalls the city.
On the other hand, well... it's 10ft away from the Citadel wall, and that's not a lot of distance to put between yourself and a solar blast, no matter how technical you want to get about it.
Regardless, yes, Queen Banshee is engulfed, screaming, in a beam of fire and light that will leave the snow melted and the earth scorched in a 30ft radius around her. She's still standing - and she's pissed - but the solar beam does its job.
On the downside, it's also completely blinding, illuminating the sky, the Citadel and the surrounding area, too. Those dragons you were worried about know exactly where to go now, and there's a great keening and scrabbling as a flurry of them attempt to take flight over the walls and through the gates... Which consequently take an absolute battering. They slam to the ground with a force that will leave the ears ringing, exposing the Citadel to attack.
(By banshees).
And whilst the guards and Shields, Cordelia and Evie manage to shield their eyes in time, perhaps it's because Talyson is concentrating on his retreat, but the light completely dazzles and blinds him, causing him to stumble and trip over the rampart (on the inside wall, don't worry). He doesn't fall - he's still clinging on - but it will take him a full round to get back upright and to blink away the daze.
As for Queenie, she's stopped weeping, but somehow the noise still comes. They appear through the mist only a moment later, flanking their highness in icy velvet, wailing to the open gates.
A queen needs her handmaids, after all.
Welcome to this KQ. The Citadel has been enshrouded in a curious mist! Something in the mist is weeping.
The Solar Beam will be ready to charge in 5 rounds.
