Dain - The Grinning Skull
Dain's sword clattered to the ground, near a gurgling pit of lava. Taking a step backwards, he stared at his hand for a moment, clenching it and releasing it. Tendrils of smoke still twist upwards from his chest. It burns.
Cruel twist of fortune...arse...where is the ringing carnyx now? Essithea...what are you? Did you snatch my blade free, to allow this...thing to slay me?!
But no. It dies a second later, from some combination of assaults that Dain cannot make out clearly.
With a gasp of air, hot and burning in his lungs, Dain lunges and dives for his sword. His last connection with whatever came before. Before what?
He slides on his belly over the hot, gritty ground. It hurts like hell. His hand is reaching for his sword.
<Dexterity check to grab sword = 13>
