[QUOTE="rpgramen, post: 4792226, member: 49052"] (Pre-Emptive Post for Next Round) Sabastian had hoped it wouldn't have come to this. Really, combat was not his most prized forte'. The next few seconds were a blur, at best, even for him as the infernal dark elf transformed in to some manner of beast and whalloped the poor caster upside the chest. Now, however, was not the time for questions -- rather, now as the time for action. Finally, the wily rogue rises from his sitting position by the once roaring fire, up on his feet as quick as he's able. His mind was afire with what to do; help the caster fighting off the gigantic bear-esque creature? Lend a hand to the sword-swinging warrior against whom Sabastian could only presume to be the lead antagonist? Or dare he attempt an assault against the as-of-yet unmoving of the trio? Decisions, decisions... His decision made, it's obvious the massive mammalia wailing on the local arcane initiate was the most dire threat at the moment. Something had to be done in order to level the proverbial playing field. And so it began -- arms outstretched, moving in strange yet oddly distinct patterns, Sabastian feigned his knowledge of magic as best he could to produce his desired effect; a small trick he'd picked up somewhere along the line of his long and elaborate career... [COLOR=cyan]"Invictus Stupiditicus!"[/COLOR] yipped the firebranded lad in the tell-tale form of a two-bit stage magician, a combination of mock humor and serious tone to produce that distinctly unique version of Sabastian Flair. That, however, was not the end. Oh, no. So acquainted with his meager arcane talents was Sabastian, that with blinding speed and efficiency another was already being cast! Indeed, it was his lack of formal tutelage that granted him this affinity for arcane quickness -- his repertoire was so small, you see, it was as if he had all the time in the world to perfect his minor abilities. [COLOR=cyan]"Poofius Shmoofius!"[/COLOR] he chants again, the ridiculous arcane verbal components ringing true as he fired a deadly green ray at his furry adversary; the classic one-two magical punch, if you would.
