Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm
Lee takes another gash from Bannock. It is a blow that would slay a normal man, but his body seems to deflect the impact of the weapon, lessening the grievousness of the wound.
Wincing at the hit, Lee slips to the side with incredible speed. Just as Bannock is turning to face him, Lee unleashes a flurry of strikes. His fists whip out and strike Bannock in the stomach and chest. The force of the strikes are unusually powerful for bare fists, driving deep dents into the plate and spreading bruises across Bannock's torso and small cracks into his ribs. Its as if Bannock has been punched by two anvils. His third strike is a driving knee which he heaves upwards towards Bannock's groin, but it just barely misses the mark.
"Damius would like his mask back," says Lee after brutally striking Bannock, "Allow me to send you to him to deliver it in person."

Lars, your dagger cuts into one of the squid's tentacles, but the animal refuses to leave you alone. It strikes out again, attempting to grapple you.
Torrent tries to move up the stairs, but the storm whips sleet into her eyes and the ice makes footwork too difficult to progress.

Arnir slips out from the cloud of sleet in time to hear the hammering blows being delivered to Bannock "Mercy..." he mumbles as he holds out his hand. Arcs of electricity flit between his fingers before consolidating into a ray of scorching power. It lances out towards Lee...and does nothing useful

Kirio moves into the sleet storm, eager to assist his companions... he finds torrent and attempts to aid her move forward...

Bannock grunts each time he is hit. His armour crunches, ribs fracture, and sudden internal bleeding causes blood to well up in his throat. He takes a wavering 5 foot step backwards and immediately re-extends his grip on his glaive. His vision blurring, feet barely holding him up, he sees Arnir's searing ray pass between Sidoneth and himself. He smiles as he sees Arnir emerging from the sleet, heartened to see his friend, but wishing he had better aim. Sidoneth comes into focus, and in a rush of adrenaline, Bannock is numbed to his pain, and he lifts his glaive for a volley of attacks. Possibly his last. He swings in an arcing slash, following through on the blow and spinning in a full revolution to deliver a wild second strike.

The Fall of Lee Sidoneth
The first slash catches Lee across the chest, ripping a tear in his flesh. The second drags across his belly, splattering blood upon the stone ground and threatening to spill Lee's entrails. He staggers backwards, dizzy with blood loss and fatigue, clutching at his belly to hold in his guts. He vomits up some of his life force, his lips and chin stained crimson beneath a sweaty brow and out of focus eyes.
He drops to his knees and stares up at the storm raging above. His body goes rigid and his eyes turn completely white, as if milk was being filled into his eyeballs. An unearthly scream exits his lips, turning your blood cold. The sleet storm covering the stairs blows away into nothingness, the conjured ice on the steps vanishing along with it. Pulses of energy burst out from Lee as his magical protections cease to function. He twists his spine and leans his neck and head further back as if his body is being wracked with an unseen pain. Another scream leaves his throat, tearing through the air. Fear is clearly stamped on his face, as if he is seeing something through those milky orbs that is unclear to the rest of you.
"Master!", he screeches to the skies, "let your winds ... destroy them!". A violent maniacal and terrifying fit of laughter overtakes him before he freezes completely in place. A blink of light washes over him and his body turns dark grey with the texture of granite. It is as if he has been turned to stone, his contorted features and mad face locked in time. He stays like this for only a moment before a gust of wind blasts him into a billion pieces of dust. He is blown away in an ashen cloud and scattered in all directions. A pair of bracers, the control wand and his pants and shoes are all that remain on the ground.
The eye of the hurricane vanishes overhead, and a colossal twister has formed with you at the centre, rapidly closing in. At its rate of progress, you have less than a minute before the twister focuses directly on your position.
Beneath the waves, the squid shudders, spasms and then blasts away in another jet of black ink.

Lars yells at the retreating squid, "I'm from the streets of Gatepass, punk! I'm too tough for ya!"
He spins and scans the horizons and sees the huge twister coming his way. "Uh, ho!" Lars waits a few moments to catch his breath before he dives below water again, and heads to deeper ground, hopefully 40 feet or so.
