Durzo comments, "We better end this quick then."
He moves into position to have a clear line of fire, then aims his magic bow sending a precise shot at Rend hitting him in the head. After the shot he shifts to put some cover between himself and their two opponents.
[sblock=Actions]Move Action: Get a clear shot, fire and then move to cover if possible
Standard Action: Ranged Attack at Rend: Magic Bow (1d20+6=26) Critical Threat!
Blast 4, Penetrating 4, Deadly Aim (+1 Dmg per 2 ranks Attack succeeds beating Defense)[/sblock]______________________

Ivy's wild swing at Helicrates misses, cursing loudly she watches the man suddenly increase in size. She stands, mouth gaping as her eyes follow the sudden change.
"Hood's hoary balls!" she exclaims.
The giant warrior's gladius cuts through the air, suddenly slowing centimetres from Rend's body as though the air around the priest had become strangely thick.
However the weapon still manages to graze his skin leaving a small blood trail across where it hits. The imbued power of the weapon has an immediate effect on the priest. Muscles lock in place, pain shadows Rend's face as the chill power of Helicrate's blade courses through him.
Rend is now slowed.
Despite this, Rend continues his chant albeit forcing the words from his lips with difficultly.
Perhaps D'rek turns her eye towards him, here in her realm or perhaps despite appearances, he is in fact an adept practitioner of his art but he manages to push back Teth's obscuring cloud of smoke though it is clear that the effort costs him as sweat pours from his creased brow and his legs seem to shake.
Durzo's arrow screams through the air, the spirits imbued within it brushing past any wards the priest could muster.
The arrow pierces his skull, shattering bone and spilling gore over Helicrates' armour and Ivy's forearms as she throws them up protectively over her face.
For a few moments there is complete silence as Rend's body topples over, with Ivy scrabbing backwards to get out of the way. A strangely surprised expression occupies her pale features, her gaze sweeping up to Helicrates, across to Durzo and to Teth. Something in her expression suggests that she was weighing up her chances and coming to an unpleasant conclusion.
An ear-splitting shriek fills the air. Something thrashes through the forest beyond the portal.
There is a strange whump and air suddenly rushes in on where the group are standing, with force that buffets you all.
I'd like everyone to make Reflex saves please!
"The gate falters! She wakes!" croaks Candour.

The roaring wind makes it difficult to hear Candour's reply, but her familiar rasp still reaches Teth's ears.
"The Worm of Autumn, Wizard!" she hisses, "And I fear-"
Another whump fill the air as the portal closes behind you all, cutting off the rest of the Bonewitch's reply. A dull green flash crackles around the place where the portal was.
"Perfect!" spits Ivy, "Kill the Hood-forsaken priest in his own goddess' warren!"
OOC: Will just wait for Voda before we resolve the reflex rolls.

Originally hired by the encumbent merchant, Goble Fenn of the House of Coins, you find yourselves sent to guard the welfare of a dead woman. Attacked on route by the faceless assassins of the House of Blades, led by someone the witch has identified as an Imperial Claw - an arm of Empress Laseen - and left with no-one to question, you count yourselves lucky for having survived what turned out to be an eventful evening for many within the city of Kindle.
A brief trip to the Plaza of the Houses tells you many in the priesthoods and noble families were harangued by shadowy assailants through the night, and you witness a confrontation between the priests of the House of Faith and the master assassins of the House of Blades. Not the only ones to watch this confrontation, you are watched by a dusk-skinned man and his alabaster-skinned companion whom Goble Fenn seems to know of. Before explaining anything, Goble charges you to bring the dead witch to a meeting at the Assembly that afternoon.
On returning to Candour's crude abode, you are confronted by a wise-cracking huntress who claims to have Tarthenal blood - evidently true as she quickly recovers from wounds incurred in a brief scuffle. A scuffle that ends with a portal opening at your backs, apparently created by a companion to the huntress, into the Warren of D'rek.
A fight ensues, you all enter the warren and the unfortunate priest of D'rek is cut down.
Candour waits in her grubby hut unable to hold the portal into the warren open as the Worm of Autumn notices you, the trespassers in her realm.....
Rend lies in the dirt and mud, amidst rotting vegetation and crawling insects, blood slowly congealing around his wounds. Ivy stands over him, exasperation and fear fighting for dominance on her freckled face.
She points an accusing finger at all of you.
"Look what you've done!" she snaps, "Killed one of the Worm's own in her realm!"
The woman begins to pace, glancing round nervously. No further sounds have issued from the surrounding trees since that first shriek of outrage.
"We're done for now, she'll take the very skin from our bones and leave us alive whilst doing it.....Fener's rotting hooves, I hope you all have strong gods to pray to....."
OOC:Welcome back!
