COMBAT, round 10
Trevor's awareness kicks in, as does his sense of self-preservation (which apparently had been on an extended hiatus), and he instantly decides that the Better Part of Valor dictates that he remain right where he is and continue to play 'possum.'
Dara opens her eyes, jumps to her feet, tries to figure out what's going on, and sees the priest ahead near Verdis. Alright, this time we're playing it safe...Moments later, two orbs of glowing energy emerge from her hand and hit the priest.
The evil high priest staggers from Dara's strength, and looks around, dismay on his face as he sees that all of his foes are once again upon their feet. He shakes his head, determined to go down fighting, and again slams his warhammer into Verids, cracking the warlock's ribs!
[NPCing Coraine]The knight's eyes flutter open, and he is quickly climbs to his feet. Assessing the situation, he grabs his blade and move toward the fire priest.
"Hah!" Ragnok breaks into a victory chant, brandishing Norryjar triumphantly, and scattering drops of his enemy's ichor over the temple floor. Then, as he sees Verdis assailed by the high priest, he sighs, his paean cut short. Turning on his heel, he moves towards the cleric, drawing a hammer as he goes.
"If you want something done, best to do it yourself," he grumbles, throwing the weighty projectile at the god-botherer's head. The weapon misses its target.
Kurt remains silent as he sets about The Invincible One's work. He closes the gap to the High Priest of Fire and swings his longsword lustily at him. The foe, too intent on trying to finish Verdis, never sees the blade coming; Kurt's longsword strikes the man in the neck, cutting deeply, nearly severing his head. The High Priest of Fire doesn't even have time to utter a curse before he stumbles and falls to the ground.
