Gerak curses loudly in dwarven, ending in Common with "By Drendd's sandy beard! Tha' priest's way be'er an' me! We're all g'na die if we stay 'ere!"
As he curses and shouts, Gerak woefully steps forward just a bit, dropping his hammer and shield, taking out his crossbow, and loading a bolt. To Rowan's eyes, the dwarf visibly slumps a few inches, head downcast.
[sblock=ooc]I seriously think we're all going to die here if we don't run away, and that's Gerak's honest assessment of the situation too, in-character. Gerak's a terribly lousy shot, too, and now effectively useless for the remainder of the battle. Nothin' he could've done about it, either, unless he jumped off the balcony in the first place 3 rounds ago, narrowly survived the fall with all his heavy gear, and kept running toward the fishmen right after that....
To his knowledge, that priest far outstrips his abilities, and can probably pound both him and Phud into paste single-handedly if it gets more of its spells going, old age or no old age. He figures the kuo-toan priest is equivalent to one of the elders at his own home temple, maybe just slightly less powerful. Not to mention the other kuo-toans, and the veritable sea of water that's cut the rest of us off now.
Gerak would need to walk on the floor for about half a minute underwater, in his heavy armor, holding his breath, to reach the enemy platform, and only then if the kuo-toans don't take advantage of his veritable helplessness underwater, stabbing him to death or just keeping him underwater (very easily) for the roughly two minutes it would take the hardy dwarf to suffocate.
