[QUOTE="SelcSilverhand, post: 4962192, member: 30016"] Seeing the cultist close on Doral, Glaive focuses his energies on him instead. He invokes a blast of energy that strikes him in the chest. The recovered crystal shard in Glaive's hand pulses as the energy channels through it and his energy seems to cling to the cultist for a moment, doing additional damage. The cultist snarls out an oath in an infernal tongue. He pulls his unholy symbol from around his neck, an ugly mess of small bones wrapped with tendons, and shouts words of a spell. He strikes outward with his hand and presses the symbol to Doral's face. A painfully cold feeling erupts from the point of contact and Doral's face contorts in obvious agony. Rising from the shard fragments, the skull faced man pulls bloody crystal fragments from his chest and arms. He calls out, [COLOR=Red]"You're too late! Already the power is spreading to the far flung nodes! The great beast rises! Kill me and it will be unchained and my will is done regardless! Your destruction is at hand!"[/COLOR] He launches himself forward at Kraken in a heedless charge. His mouth opens wide revealing several rows of jagged canine fangs. His teeth sink into Kraken's arm, tearing free a bloody hunk. Whisper focuses her spell on the crystal over head, sending the whirling jaws upward to tear at the crystal.
