Ava jumped to Kol's side as Kai rushed at him, and started burning pewter, just in case this turned any uglier.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Kol grunted in annoyance a second before the coin glinted in the pale light. He threw himself to the side, relying on his pewter-enhanced reflexes and speed to save him, rather than using steel and revealing himself as Mistborn. That little surprise would be useful later. "Ava, the other one!" he said.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Artis was drawing nearer, a knife in each hand now. The weapons were made of obsidian, crafted with no metal so they couldn't be used against him by an allomancer who could use steel or iron. He had his eyes on Kol, clearly thinking Ava of no consequence.

[echolight4eva]

Ava narrowed her eyes when she saw that he didn't care that she was there, and immediately shot a coin at his head, drawing a knife. Hers was actually made of iron, but she could just get rid of it if she needed to.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Only a miracle saved Artis' life. He saw Ava's movement and instinct caused him to move, missing the coin by less than an inch. He swore under his breath and then shouted, "She's a Coinshot!" What bad luck caused them to attack not one but two allomancers this night?

[echolight4eva]

Ava shot three more coins at him, one at his head, his chest, and his groin.

Meanwhile, Kai was battling Kol and shooting coins at him.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

With an almost disappointed air, Kol turned steel and easily deflected the coins. His secret revealed, he stepped forward so he stood over one of the fallen coins and launched himself into the air, then pushed on a window fixing to nudge him forward. He landed on a building roof in a puff of ash and then turned to see if the other man would follow.

[echolight4eva]

Kai narrowed his eyes and hesitated for a split second before following as quickly as possible.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

As soon as Kai's head appeared over the edge of the building, Kol threw a handful of coins and shot them in his direction. He doubted any of them would find their mark, but they would at least serve as a distraction as he dashed forward with his glass daggers in his hands. He always carried them with him, rather than steel ones. As a Mistborn, he was far too careful to carry metal weapons.

[echolight4eva]

Kai growled as one or two met their mark, but he blocked the rest and shot them back at Kol. He glared at Kol as he prepared to defend himself.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Kol was on him in a second, moving with pewter-enhanced speed, and slashed at his face with a dagger. At the same time, he brought his other arm around and drove the second dagger toward his opponent's shoulder.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Below, Artis watched Ava warily. He'd been trained to fight Allomancers, but he didn't have any desire to face a Coinshot without a shield. Furthermore, the fact that her companion was Mistborn made him nervous that she might be hiding the same abilities. The odds were slim, but Artis was a cautious man.

[echolight4eva]

Kai yelled in pain as his dagger made a mark on his face, drawing a fair amount of blood. He blocked his second attack and physically pushed Kol towards the edge of the roof.

Meanwhile, Ava carefully watched her opponent and eventually struck, using her hands to punch at Artis's face.

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Kol hardly stumbled, though he did back up a few steps to eye his opponent. He stood maybe six inches from the ledge, in a ready stance with both daggers held loosely in his hands. "Who are you?" he asked. The question came from genuine curiosity, not the need to stall.

[echolight4eva]

At this point, Kai was beginning to get worried that he wouldn't be able to beat Kol. He narrowed his eyes and looked him over. "The shadow in the night, the murder in the mists. Your worst nightmare."
