“Any last-minute phone calls?” Dread asks as he takes one step forward.

He exhales and pushes his hands forward, sending out a pulse of magic.
I can hear the pops of electronics failing. Some yelps of surprise and pain.
We stay still as something explodes to our right.
And we keep still as another explosion goes off straight ahead.
