The punches sink into the caster’s ribs and Marius feels as the fragile creature breaks under the strength of his strikes. The bestial priest howls loudly right before falling to the floor as a broken doll, dark blood sprouting from his gaping mouth. The sudden attack silences the other caster almost immediately, his ample, round eyes sickened by the death of his companion. He gazes into the monk as the whirlpool of darkness begins to suck their creation back, the invoked beast roaring in desperation as it rescinds into its dark dimension. MORGRYM As the dwarf swings his axe his enemy attempts to retreat while parrying the attack, but without success. At first, it seems the axe only scratched the lancer’s skin. Nonetheless, as blood begins to run in great amounts down the warrior’s legs, it becomes clear he is truly hurt. REYNARD Before the lancer can jump away from Morgrym’s axe, Reynard’s shot hits him frontally, light obfuscating his gaze. The bullet runs through his flank, squirting blood beyond him, but that seems to be enough to bring him down. The ichtian warrior falls motionless, a puddle quickly forming against his clothes.
