It was quite the battle! We had to split our group and go after the heads like that. Those of us capable of flight or that could move particularly fast — fast enough to dodge the flailing of the heads or their flames — made their way to the top of the tower from outside via crumbling pathways and buttresses. The rest stayed on the lower levels to deal with two of the heads there.
[Eagle is probably perceptive enough to see through Ain's little "us" there, meaning he's one of the ones that can fly. Other than that, he doesn't explain anyone else's flight abilities. One of his friends is literally a robot, she has thrusters. Ain does not, at all, consider this odd or out of place. Everyone has that one friend that can fly, obviously.]
It was quite tough! We had to coordinate killing the four heads at the same time, but at a certain height, communication is impossible with the group on the ground. There's nothing that we did special to communicate when to land a killing blow, but rather, those of us up top carefully watched those on the ground. It was trickier than it sounds.
My job is mostly to heal others and act as support, but one of the heads came bearing down on me. Luckily I had thought to shield myself with magic only moments prior, and a well-timed hit with my sword managed to take out its eye after it couldn't knock me aside. Next to me stood a companion with a penchant for... ah, quite literally imbuing his fists with lightning and punching, who managed to land a killing blow on it after it tried to harm me. A little ways up the pathway, from the corner of my eye, cannonfire from a man known as "The White Wolf of Hamel" rained down on the second head. The explosions were blinding, as I'm sure you can imagine.
[Ain beams.]
When I glanced downwards, I saw a hail of arrows mixing with a flurry of blows from a greatsword, and the third head collided limply into the side of the tower. The fourth, which was slightly obscured from my vision, went down not long after that.
...
And that was when the entire tower started to shake and crumble!
