[QUOTE="Rel, post: 2341816, member: 99"] Still howling with laughter, Bale charged forward. His army charged as well but were not nearly so fast. Thus it was that he arrived first and alone to the thicket wall Speaks had raised over the last few days. The godling swung his mace in a low arc before him and the closest part of the wall was gone. It ceased to exist and, although no one realized it, any memory of it [b]ever having existed[/b] was also gone. Bale charged through this gap trailing his river of Blood behind. He pointed his mace in the direction of the left flank fortifications and another barrage of [i]Meteors Swarm[/i]ed out of the sky. Upwards of a hundred Legionnaires were incinerated in an instant leaving only craters and fire to fill this gap in their formation. The palisade wall was burning in the few places where it still stood along that part of the line. Steam filled the air as water ran into this area from the broken wall holding back the temporary swamp. And fear filled the hearts of men to see such power and destruction wielded with barely a thought. Speaks spotted the gap in the defenses left by Bale’s mace and couldn’t believe he had missed such an obvious flaw. He reached out with his magic and the area became alive with vines and roots, reaching out to [i]Entangle[/i] any who tried to follow Bale. As his magic took hold, a horn sounded behind him. Capito and the Paladins took flight on their steeds. Lances projected from each rider except the one in front. Capito held high the Mace and gave praises to his lord, St. Cuthbert for strength and justice as his Pegasus mount pulled slightly away from the slower Hippogriffs. Bale paid no attention to these oncoming riders and let loose more meteors from the sky, destroying another swath of an Imperial Legion near the center of the army. Sweat stood on the brows of Lazarius and his [i]Mirror Images[/i]. He had tried and failed again to counter the magic of Bale who was simply too strong for him to stop. But he would continue to try because even a single success would save the lives of hundreds. The frontrunners of Bale’s army were pushing their way through the edges of the gap he had created in the thicket wall despite Speaks attempts to plug it. The Druid called upon the Wild again and [i]Flame Struck[/i] from the heavens burning many where they stood. Still others were getting through and there was little he could do about it. A pair of Giants ripped through on the left side of the gap and were quickly followed by a score of Ogres and the Lizard-Thing. A flight of Dragonkin soared over the wall as well, the call to the Blood of Bale having overcome their loyalty to their dragon mistress. At the same moment, a half dozen vortexes appeared in the waters of the marsh near the thicket. A second later, the insectoid forms of Umber Hulks burrowed up through the wet ground and shook themselves free of water as their burrows were immediately swamped again. Bale turned his attention to the rider who was coming directly toward him and another [i]Meteor Shower[/i] burned through the clouds above and hurled itself at Capito and his Pegasus. Both withstood burns but the magical wards provided by Lazarius kept them alive. Lazarius was glad to see that as he had once again tried and failed to counter Bale’s magic. Along the eastern side of the battlefield a blaze of silver light filled the sky as the Shining Lady came to the aid of their cause. [i]Flame Struck[/i] down in a pillar to smash into Bale but he seemed more surprised than harmed at the attack. It seemed that this at least distracted the murderous godling from Capito’s charge for a moment and the Right Hand of St. Cuthbert urged his mount forward. Bale gave a cry of rage and made a gripping motion toward the Shining Lady with his left hand. Whatever foul magic he did, she managed to resist if only barely. It kept his focus on her for an instant longer and that was enough. Capito howled in triumph as he prepared to smite Bale in the name of his lord. As he closed within Bale’s reach, the godling brought down the destruction incarnate of his mace to strike this insolent whelp from existence. Capito’s martial training kicked in and he tried to bring his own weapon across to block the blow. But too late. The Sphere of Annihilation swept through man and mount, wiping them mind, body and soul from creation leaving the Mace hanging for the barest instant without a wielder before it too was struck by the impossible Nothingness of the weapon.
