(I had a surprising amount of fun writing this fight scene. It's my AU version of the second Urn trial, fighting mirror images of your party

“Come now, you are making this far too easy. She is much harder to hit than this. I would know. I was hoping for a challenge, not a poor copy.” Zevran’s mocking laughter drew his attention back to the elf just as he swiped his dagger across Alexia’s face, drawing a shallow cut on her cheek. A surge of fear ran through him at her cry of pain, despite knowing that had to be the false Alexia. Surely Zevran wouldn’t make that sort of mistake, but would he take advantage of the confusion to finish his contract, claiming confusion afterwards in an attempt to escape Nathaniel’s vengeance until he could flee? The idea paralyzed Alistair with fear for a second, and then he charged towards the pair, needing to stop the assassin from hurting her, oblivious to the rest of the combat around him until a sharp pain in his shoulder drew him up short

Looking around the room, he determined that the fight was pretty well over. Alexia had efficiently dispatched the false Nathaniel once his bow was ruined, and he watched as Wesley aided Zevran in taking down Alexia’s doppelganger, the pair of them combining to get past her heavy armor and the reach of her massive swinging blade. And then the combat was finished, and Alistair realized he had barely contributed. With a grimace of disgust, he moved to sheath his sword, gasping at the resulting flare of pain as the movement pulled at the wound on his shoulder. He nearly dropped his sword with the shock of it; he had forgotten about the injury the impostor Nathaniel had given him while watching the real Nathaniel slaughter his double. When he thought about it that way, his growing suspicions that the man disliked him didn’t sound quite so unreasonable.

(Sorry for the length... I am utterly incapable of being concise in anything, and this is only exaggerated when writing Alistair POV.)
