[QUOTE="dave_o, post: 3466923, member: 2933"] [b]The Arena[/b] The wind picks up, adding to the low roar of onlookers, bringing the taste and scent of rain over the battleground. Caught in a gust, Spratnik's arrows turn -- one clatters at Karnak's feet, the other punches through Teak's scale, though the orc hardly notices, embroiled in his righteous fury, acknowledging the wound with a grunt. Instead, Teak focuses his pale eyes on his more worthy opponent. As Karnak froths into a rage, stray drool spattering Dawnrider's armor, he claws at Teak with gauntleted hands. One Teak catches on his shield, the cruel barbs sticking in wood before being wrenched out, while the other simply scratches shrilly against Teak's scale armor, the ear-piercing noise amplified by the surrounding stone. Many in the crowd clamp hands to their ears. Ponderously keeping Karnak at bay with his warhammer, Teak tosses his shield to the ground, grabbing Vrek by the throat. "You are no use to me dead," Dawnrider growls, before a stray ray of sunlight races up Dawnrider's arm and sears shut some of the goblin's wounds, stemming some of the blood flow over his leathers. Vrek howls in pain and simply glares at Teak as the orc roughly returns Vrek to his feet. Jrag, observing all this down a crossbow sight, cannot secure a clean shot at Vrek. Even as the goblin, perhaps wising up, pushes off his pole to leap behind an outcropping, hidden from Spratnik's cruel arrows. The crowd gasps as Razzit finishes his quick and subtle thaumaturgy. As the witch doctor blows through the fur, upon Karnak, very years of the orc's life blow away as well, the cruel orc's hair visibly graying at the temples, the lines of his face deepening, his teeth yellowing. Startled at the change, Teak ducks to avoid Razzit's exhale. [color=dimgray][i][b]Spratnik[/b] misses Vrek the Poler, his rapid shots hitting AC 8 and AC 12.
