You know what? Jacob said to Ohanzee, You can just shush...except no, please don't.
Jacob turned to face the room after moving away from the wall. He surveyed the room for some sort of ventilation system he could crawl through.

((I MEANT ADVANCE A WAR OVER PEACE IN EXCHANGE FOR A HINT YOU MORAN))
Loud explosions came from outside.
One of the Shadowmen applied a viscous orangish liquid he'd put on his fingertip onto the sides and blade of a knife. The container had not been seen, nor had the act of putting the substance on his finger.
--
Jacob saw there was a ventilation shaft over the door.
There appeared to be blades in it.

Blades? Blades were no good. Were they metal blades? Were they rotating blades?
Who knew.
Jacob soon would.
He made his way to the door and peeked up at the ventilation shaft.
If the blades were a fan, he would open the shaft and manipulate the wind to stop the fan. If it wasn't a fan, he would figure something out.

The vague shadows he'd seen in the vent took on a more definite form, even with the grate in the way. There were spinning, bladed metallic discs on every surface, fans in the middle, and simple fixed razors in various corner spots where the circular cutters left spare room.
In addition, Jacob realized the vent was thinner than him.
Evidently, Legion had thought before about an attacker attempting to utilize the vents.

Hm...that's no good. Jacob pointed out to himself.
Maybe the vent could still be of use. Thantos would've been helpful right about now.
Maybe the vent wouldn't be useful.
Jacob turned back around to check the status of the wall.
This felt more like a puzzle than a combat situation.

((Quiet, you. <.<))
The wall was steadily advancing, rolling up bits of the marble sheet on the floor for material as it moved. His opponents were blind, but protected.

If the wall got too close, Jacob figured he could just stroll out of the room.
He wondered if he could create fire in places he couldn't see.
He gave it a shot, attempting to ignite the area behind the wall.

Oh boy! It worked!
Jacob ceased fire and tried something new.
He walked back over to the vent and began to manipulate the wind out from it, hoping it was connected to another vent on the other side of the wall. If it was, it was possible that he could limit the air they had to an extent.

((Walkin' mah dogs now.))
A cursory feel indicated to Jacob that the vent system was both extensive and of little use to him, a labyrinth that had air filters all over for dealing with poisonous gasses, judging by the purity of the air in those areas.
It would require a retardedly huge amount of mana to do anything through it.

Jacob wondered if Joe would ever possibly have the same idea as he did.
He doubted it, but it was still a possibility.
He turned his attention back to the wall.
More Earthen spikes! Just two more, that way he could have more control over them if they were resisted.

The spikes were countered as he tried to make them; it seemed at least one of the opposing elementalists he'd injured had reentered the fray.

Jacob threw a little fire from the end of one of his spikes for extra measure.

The fire was ignored; the spikes were being countered from off to the side somewhere.

Jacob let the spikes be. Jacob instead focused on reopening the hole in the wall.
