Tullaneth heard a rifle shot close by and span around. "The rangers were so supposed to draw them away!" He exclaimed. He ran to the door and called to Finathren. "Ranger! What's happening?" Then he heard the crackling sound of a power weapon slicing flesh after a number of thudding steps and snarls and screeches. He backed away from the door as it began to buckle. The Prime was breaking in.
Katelliana saw the first warrior loap into sight, surrounded by lesser beasts. Quietly across the crystal comm-link she whispered. "Stay your fire, await its entry. We cannot affored for it to survive." The Ranger braced their rifles as the Guants and the warrior that towered over them, barely fitting the corridor, advanced over the dead bodies of previous small waves.
Inaeun watched his scope from a darkened corner, the rangers around him occasionally snapping a shot off. "Katelliana must have their attention. They come few enough here." He whispered. He then heard scratching beside him and so a protrusion in the wall. Moments later a Hormaguant leapt from the darkness with a screech and he struggled to fire at the creature, blowing its head clean off but not before others leapt from the walls. At close range the cameleoline was useless and the rangers produced Shuriken Pistols and daggers to fight off the threat. They fell back as they were swarmed. Inaeun was cut in the leg by a sycthing talon, bright blood splashing on the white floor. He lacerated his attacker and the frantic gaunt fell backwards with ichor spewing from its neck and twitched violently on the floor. The room was awash with the screeches of the creatures as the Eldar hurriend out of the room. "Away. We cannot win here!" Inaeun said limping out of the doorway, followed by four others. Imalderin, Rhonan, Saalemeth and Ytalia the only other Ranger's escaping. The other 3 had fallen to the frenzied and sudden attack of the Hormagaunts who now scratched at the wraithbone door after it had closed.
