"Wrath is no replacement for skill at arms. Come." Matilde scowls, as she readies her sword again, though not advancing into any headlong charge. She was more than happy to let the fellow wear itself out upon her barrier instead, clashing shield and sword together to send lancing lightning down the narrow hall to provoke a charge.

>>Electric Arc vs Mal and Ugly, DC 19

>Raise Shield

[Eagleheart]

Vharag's spell brings the ugly man-bug tumbling down, and Malarunk braces himself. Despite that, Syhlas manages to slip past him and land a powerful hit. Malarunk's shield spell absorbs some of the damage, but the charau-ka is definitely still hurt.

His only answer to your taunts is a howl, a swipe at Syhlas, and a burst of void energy that surges through all of you. Renali, who was biding her time, is badly hurt by the spell and retreats to Baldric's side.

Arionne reeled as the cursed energy washed over her, her footwork slipping as she became light headed. She was bleeding from her ears, that couldn't be good, and her already sharp features looked even more gaunt and withdrawn. She stumbled, then regained her footwork as she tried to recall anything useful they might have learned in fighting these Ape-Men. A weakness, an allergy, anything she and her companions could employ to gain an advantage.

She lashed out with her own chain over the Orc's head, seeking to cut the thing down before it unleashed another spell.

Requirements Your kinetic gate isn't active.

You tap into your kinetic gate to make elements flow around you. Your kinetic aura activates, and as a part of this action, you can use a 1-action Elemental Blast or a 1-action stance impulse. Your kinetic aura is a 10-foot emanation where pieces of your kinetic element (or all your kinetic elements, if you can channel more than one) flow around you. The kinetic aura can't damage anything or affect the environment around you unless another ability allows it to. Channel Elements has the traits of all your kinetic elements. Your kinetic aura automatically deactivates if you're knocked out, you use an impulse with the overflow trait, or you Dismiss the aura. Though you can't use new impulses while your kinetic aura is deactivated, ones you already used remain, and you can still Sustain any that can be sustained. Stance impulses are linked to your kinetic aura and end when the aura deactivates., Armor in EarthEarth Impulse Kineticist Primal

The dark energy surged through Vharag's body like a torrent of searing pain, causing his muscles to convulse involuntarily and his vision to swim with disorientation. Every fiber of his being screamed in agony as the necrotic energy gnawed away at his flesh, leaving behind a trail of festering wounds that oozed with dark ichor.

With gritted teeth, Vharag struggled to maintain his focus, to push past the overwhelming pain and summon forth his own retaliatory magic. Yet as he reached out to command the primal flames of the void, his efforts faltered, the arcane energies slipping from his grasp like grains of sand through clenched fists.

Frustration and anger welled up within him as his spell missed its mark, dissipating harmlessly into the air with little more than a feeble flicker. Weakness washed over him like a suffocating tide, leaving him gasping for breath and struggling to remain upright.

But even in the midst of his pain and failure, Vharag refused to yield. With a defiant snarl, he raised his shield once more, his arms trembling with the effort as he prepared to weather whatever onslaught their foe might unleash upon them.

Baldric shouts out as wracking pain surges through his body. It feels as though every cell of his body is dying before the energy subsides, and with it, the pain.. but only because it's difficult to feel the pain while unconscious and dying.

Baldric collapses from the powerful spell, eyes rolled up into his head, on the ground near where Renali retreated.

The dashing Kintargan had been frustrated by this powerful specimen of the ape-men but after finding a weakness in his defense and hitting him hard Syhlas confidence is increasing again. That is until the fearful opponent lets loose a wave of energy that surges through Syhlas body. For a moment he is dizzy and has to take a defensive stance to recover himself.

 

He is out of verbal taunts against these foreigners so he makes a fake low attack to try to draw Malarunk's defense down and open up for both himself and his companions to attack his upper body and hopefully put him down for good.

Matilde shakes her head, finding her companions a little over hasty in their charge down the tunnel. She barely sees the spell wash over them all in the cramped quarters, then turns about in alarm, as she see Baldric start to topple, and moves to revive him. Unable to also close in because of this, she calls out to her closest companion in the melee. "Finish that creature before it does more of that, hurry."

Near-instantly, some of the feeling of having one's soul ripped from one's body is relieved, and Baldric's eyes fly open, the fire returning along with the color to his skin. He breathes deep as he leans his head up, coughing out through pained gasps for air. "M-my thanks and most sincere gratitude, my lady."

"That does it, you fur-covered monstrosity! My friends here, these fine men and women of different walks of life, have more verve and tenacity than you could dream of! Their strength, their power... Oh, the power! Like none you've seen. Why, I dare say these are the finest warriors upon which you've ever laid your eyes!"

The half-elven commander stands, but he's clearly still shaky from the life-sapping spell's effects.

"You, sir, are no gentleman! More a charlatan, a rake, a scallywag! Whatever the effective equivalent is in your homeland! And certainly no sporting warrior."

Baldric smirks as it seems he's hit a nerve with the charau-ka leader... until it seems that hitting that nerve involves a follow-up of the life-force-sapping spell the foe unleashed just a moment ago.

Still weakened by the previous spell's effects, even with Matilde's divine assistance, the effects are too much for the half-elf's void-wracked body as he hits the ground again.

Fort Save - Critical Failure again.

Arionne rocked on her feet as the second wave of negative energy washed over her, and though this was blessedly much weaker than the first, she still felt the life force draining out of her. She desperately tried to counter attack, but her motions were panicked and her aim was poor.

The void energy hits Syhlas again as a strong gust of wind and he can't help crying out in pain before regaining some composure. He is hanging on the ropes and would join his new companion Baldric down on the floor very soon if they don't manage to take this creature down.

 

"You heard him!" Syhlas shouts at the furious charau-ka. "You think you are strong and powerful. But you haven't seen half of our strength yet. Fight like a warrior, beast!" He doesn't really care if the words themselves bite on Malarunk but the swordsman wants the ape-man to focus on him to divert attention from the others.

 

He feinted an attack again followed it up by two strikes.

Pain and fury fuel Vharag as he channels his primal magic once more, determined not to falter this time. His staff becomes an extension of his wrath, flames licking eagerly around its gnarled wood. With a fierce cry that seems to shake the very air of the cavern, he strikes forward, the flames catching brilliantly as they meet the flesh of Malarunk, the charau-ka leader.

The fire surges hungrily, enveloping the massive creature in a sudden inferno that crackles and roars in the confined space. The charau-ka's fur burns, the smell of singed hair and flesh filling the air, his howls of pain echoing off the walls as he thrashes wildly under the unexpected assault.

With the charau-ka ablaze, Vharag steps back, the flames from his staff still flickering ominously. He raises his shield, battered and scorched, planting it firmly in front of him. His stance is one of open defiance, a silent dare thrown at his foe. His eyes burn with a fierce, unyielding light, his face set in grim determination.

"Come then, beast!" Vharag bellows across the battlefield, his voice booming in the cramped cavern. "Feel the wrath of one who bends the elements themselves to his will! Strike, if you dare!"

Malarunk howls as his fur and flesh burn, filling the room with a very unpleasant smell. "Ha... hah... Belmazog will avenge me..." he rasps as he falls.

As you all catch your breath, Renali searches his body. "This gauntlet is a powerful weapon," she notes, but she seems more interested in a smaller item: an ornate arrowhead. "Here it is. This is the key to Huntergate."
