Fighting in Cramped Spaces

We all came-to in the lobby, I wasn't the only one to have visions of speaking to my parent. Now I wonder if it wasn't just another one of the svartalfar's tricks. Anyway, we made our way to the elevators to start the ride to the top.

Well, I say "we" but really it was Tetsuko and myself. Vincent smashed his way through the first floor ceiling. Even taking the stairs would be more efficient than that. I swear, he acts before thinking.

We picked Vincent up on the second floor and continued the ride up. He didn't think we'd be safe in an elevator, and to an extent, he was right, but not for the reasons he thought. Most of the way up, the lighting cut out and Tetsuko used her mirror to shed some sunlight for us to see... and a pair of Shinobi had slipped into the darkness inside the elevator with us.

Once again, I proved to be totally useless, unable to hit even one that Vincent had grappled with. I'm thinking about returning this sword to my sister and seeing about a firearm of some kind.

Anyway, the brawl was short and brutal, the two proper warriors ending the shinobi pretty quickly (especially after Tetsuko summoned more sunlight to injure the shinobi). We stepped out of the elevator into such blackness that even Tetsuko's sunlight could barely illuminated.

Then we heard the svartalfar's voice calling out and the sound of him drawing his weapons.
