[QUOTE="Greybar, post: 2730873, member: 4938"] Vanik stumbles, his arms coming up in a futile attempt to ward off the axes of the angered man. The battleaxe crashes down on Vanik's left forearm with the unmistakable crack of shattered bone, and the handaxe slips under the other arm to cut into ribs and side. Blood is as evident as Vanik's screams. Vanik falls to the ground on his back, pushing himself away from the man with his legs, holding his shattered arm to his chest. His side is soaked in blood pooling out on the floor. "No, No, it wasn't me. It was Garcus. IT WAS GARCUS!" Hollus leaps from his chair towards the man, both of his hands up and palms out. "Maeror, NO!" (Which is as much of an answer as Locutus gets) Almost unnoticed in all of this is a dull, deep bell like sound that isn't quite perceived in the ears... our heroes recognize this as an effect that often happens when Locutus turns his mind to a power. Much more noticed is the appearance of two men in the doorway of the Cold Fire, both with raised weapons. One has a large curved swordlike weapon raised, the other a battleaxe. Albus [sblock] One more blow like either of those and Vanik will certainly die. [/sblock] Locutus [sblock] *Just* missed the display suppression with a check of 15 needing a 16. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
