Two out of three healers were kneeling down, and were thus easy pickings for Rita. The third, however, stood, and like the other guards, was fairly heavily armoured, as it was procedure for the royal guarde to wear heavy armour at all times when on duty. The areas that weren't armoured were covered by a enchanted leather garmet the guards wore under their suit, this being next to imposible penetrate using a simple needle. As the first two guards were pricked, they raised a barrier around themselves and Garzic while they looked around, their eyes darting across the room, searching for the one who pricked them while pressing on the puncture wound the needle left with one or more fingers. Should Rita attempt to stab the third guard, he would attempt to grab, reaching for a random direction, as he didn't know where Rita stood.
Soon after this happened, twenty more zombies entered the audiance chamber. Those that opened fire on the wounded guards killed them, as they were only healed to such an extend that they were no longer in a life-threatening condition, but were still on no condition to fight back. As they raised a barrier, the majority of the shots fired at Garzic and the guards were absorbed by this. Two of the guards kept up the barrier, while the third continued on working on healing Garzic.

"This needs to end soon, before the tides turn against us. No need to keep up the pretense of the soldiers being living still. Just ensure they slay the king." Loki said to Nybeth whilst motioning for Rita to return to his side, wishing she hadn't charged off in the first place. He didn't answer Jessica.
