[QUOTE="Voda Vosa, post: 5715179, member: 51271"] The wind is chilling the heroes to the bone! As the bold half orc charges the remaining lich, Roderic and Asterion brand against the undead as well. Taran joins the fray, but is blocked by the bulk of the other heroes, as is Cliff's acidic attack. The lich is cut, sliced and smashed, but battered, it stands. Anguish Asterion Taran and Cliff try to understand and disrupt the ritual. The druid fails to get the essentials of what's going on, and his intervention fuels the Lich King with more arcane power. The lich screeches a horrid sound, the waves charged with magical power send the heroes stumbing back, to be caught by the winds! Taran Cliff and Chizz stand their ground against the battering winds, but Asterion and Roderic are almost blown away! Anguish manages to compensate the effects of the wind, by moving against it. His tactic proves it's worth when unsuspectingly, a lightning bolt from the crystal almost fries him. The other bolt of blue energy ends up in the far end of the chamber. As Roderic is pushed on the edge, his metal clad boots stomp the scorched ground. Arcs of lighning start to lazily crawl up his body. The cube resonates glowing in blue... Roderic covers his face, awaiting for the fulminating bolt of pure energy to send him crashing against the cursed island ground. But nothing bad happens...actually, Roderic feels empowered by the blue energy that spreads though his body!
