Sabbath saw Oliver send out another round of snowballs. The three snowballs were sent out in rapid-fire towards each of the girls, "Haha, take that" Sabbath called out to Nells and the girls, as he waited to hear if any of the snowballs had connected with their intended targets.
He could see the girls also trying to build their own barricade. He lined up three snowballs from his own pile, grinned and waited. As soon as the girls popped up for the counterattack, he'd be ready. He glanced over at Oliver and scraped more snow to help him raise their barricade, it still wasn't high enough, they were obviously going to have to take a few hits before the building was finished.
The problem with building a barricade was that they needed a lot of snow to make it tall enough. But, even though the snow was magic, there simply was not enough right in their area. Oliver looked around, trying to come up with a better solution. Finally, he saw a bucket and a shovel and ran toward it.
"You keep piling, I'm going to get some more snow in here to help." He couldn't stay in one place too long, or he would be an easy target for the girls. So he leaned down, scooping up a line of snow before hurrying back to Sabbath and dumping it on top of the barricade so far. Still not done, obviously, but every bit of snow helped.
Except snow would not just keep piling, he had to pack it town and shape it how he wanted it. They were getting there. Oliver paused again and threw a few of his snowballs toward the girls, not stopping long enough to see if they hit their mark. But he had a feeling he'd know.
