"You're bringing this on yourselves!" You yell out.
"Three!"
Before you can tell Lorena or your dogs to get upstairs, the orc breaks down your door. Your scythe trap swings down and hits him right in the chest. However, the blade doesn't run him through like it has before on others. It only sinks an inch, maybe two. He rips the scythe from it's housing on the ceiling and tosses it to the ground. It lands near your feet as he runs forward. A pair of mana soldiers block his way, ready to start fighting.
Your blade launcher trap fires next while the orc is charging. Most of the blades strike the orc's heavy metal plate, failing to penetrate. But a single blade sails past his large frame. The single blade strikes a man near the rear of the group, right near his heart.
But you barely notice the man's screams of pain as Lorena launches a fireball at the orc. The giant mercenary legs out a savage cry as he charges at two of your mana soldiers.
Another mercenary, this one a young human carrying a two handed axe follows the orc inside. Reason lunges at him, but he blocks the dog with his axe. But Incentive runs at him from the side, knocking the man to the ground and clawing at his face. Right behind the man another mercenary, this one a human woman with a single long, thin dagger, pulls back, intent to run your dog through.
"Mangy mutt!" She yells before she does the deed.
Before she can stab Incentive, your third mana soldier slashes the woman. She clutches the wound on her right arm, but gets ready to fight the magical construct.
Finally, a fourth mercenary sprints inside, longsword drawn. He ducks, barely a blast of lightning from Lorena that was aimed at the orc, whose armor is now covered in cuts, scratches, and burns. He looks at you with bloodlust in his eyes. He runs right for you, sword raised high.
You aren't much of a fighter. Never have been. But you brought a weapon with you just in case you were attached. If you had to, you could try to defend yourself.
You could run for the staircase, though all of the fighting is happening between you and the doorway. You'd have to be fast or lucky not to get hit, even accidentally.
You also have enough mana to summon two more soldiers, you could summon them to give yourself some breathing room, though you wouldn't have any magic until your mana reserves recovered.
