Arthur "Hmmm. A breeze. Let's see what I can do..."
Suddenly, the air in front of the group is clogged with dirt and rocks which form a swirling funnel. The vortex sweeps down the tunnel, demolishing what's left of the shield. As the damping dust collides with the funnel, rocks and earth go flying in all directions, including several back at the party. The damping dust is carried along until the funnel impacts the tunnel wall down near the curve, with the resulting tremor dropping more dirt and stones along the tunnel. A brief rain shower helps clear the air of dust, both magical and ordinary.
Arthur "That should clear things up for a bit, although they probably have more of that dust. I hope you didn't want a drink anytime soon, Narp; I used the water in your canteen as a starter for that shower."
From around the corner, a brief greenish glow is seen as the cries of pain from the wounded soldier subside.
[ooc: Arthur does tend to take the direct path, even if it isn't the most practical one. Let's see; that probably leaves some effective damping dust along the floor, which could crop up later as (telekinetically propelled?) mud; someone has a healing spell/amulet/etc.; and we still have at least three healthy opponents. This is just getting good!
