After the immediate threat has passed, Darius turned to the bridge that they are to cross and see that it is quite heavily guarded. Another soldier, 2 axe-wielding brigands and, he notices, an archer hiding in the middle. Noting how heavily armored these guys are, the shaman, against his better judgment, decided to step right in front of the lance-wielder and strike at him with his magic. Before doing that, though, he spoke out.
"I'll appreciate it if you'll be able to take out the soldier once I do this. It might be foolhardy, what I'm about to do, but I noticed that these archers are really heavily armored..."
With that, he moved in and attacked.
Move to L11 and nuke Archer 3.
