*Ducane dances forward and slashes into the beast's hide with his scythe, skillfully avoiding leaving any opening. Hulgyr is not so strong on the not-leaving-an-opening front, as his reckless advance allows the beast to swing at him, but its wild blow is unable to smash through the orc's defenses, at least as long as Hulgyr manages to restrain his battle frenzy. Hulgyr's attack is massive and bloody as steel slices fur and flesh and bone, easily on par with the creature's assault of Zack.*
(OOC: 14 Damage, 44, so 140 so far)
*Michael gets as much of a running start as he can on the snow and then leaps into the air with a burst of supernatural strength channeled into his legs, his soaring jump seeming an almost-comical display of a man attempting to fly, and yet, he manages to clear five feet in height with his jump, enough to allow him to flail about like a leaping salmon and lay his hand on Zack, healing the grimm warrior away from the brink of death. After that, however, it is fortunate that the snow remembered to catch Michael's face-first fall, though it doesn't taste the same as he remembered...*
*Meanwhile, Eternity burns the creature with a beam of energy so intense that it is clearly, though thin, more powerful than both of Aya's rays combined. Those nearby instinctively flinch away from the intense heat and shield their eyes, and when the red afterglow fades from their vision, all that is left of the creature is a pile of charred ash and bone.*
(OOC: Eternity does 67 Damage, so the poor thing wound up at almost -50 and like -75 after its Rage ended by dying. Yikes!)
*Zack tumbles to the ground as the creature falls, but since he is able to control his fall, he is not particularly hurt.*
(OOC: Zack takes 2 nonlethal damage)
"Okay. Well, from what I've read, it seems we have just met a particularly cantankerous Lesser Wendigo. They roam these mountains in search of food, so I guess we would have been today's main course."
