andrix_ST Meanwhile, in the corridor, the scythe weilding earth caste seems to focus for an instant on somthing behind Mierin, the woman who got behind her still there. The large man hesitates, seeming to wait to pick his moment to dip underneath Mierins guard. Behind the solar, the wood caste woman signals, waiting for a slip in Mierin's defences before plunging in for the attack.
Mierin Mierin spins back around and tightens her grip on her axe and shield and rushes the Wood Aspect like an unstoppable juggernaut, slamming into her with her shield to get inside her defenses then bringing down a vicious diagonal slash then twists her wrist to bring the weapon back in a backhanded stroke. (Three attacks.)
andrix_ST The wood caste lithely jumps backwards out of the way out the shield, bringing her khatars up in a cross before her face to catch the axe as it bears down upon her, readying herself for the last attack and attempting to slam it sideways into the wall, trying to jam it and leave her anathema foe defenceless
andrix_ST Her defence guided by essence, the dragonblooded manages to narrowly avoid the blade of the axe, the digonal stroke slicing a small lock of hair from her fringe as she acted just intime to save her skull
andrix_ST "Now!" The Wood caste screams, jamming her blade straight down into the wooden floor boards, it emerging four feet down the corridor at chest height out of a wall. Simultaneously, the earth caste slices his scythe in from the other direction, splintering more of the wall in a showering of chippings as he swings. Taking the oppertunity of the numerous blades flashing from multiple directions the wood leaps forwards,
andrix_ST her hand emerging from the floor and attacking from either side with both khatar's attempting to carve an x across Mierin's chest.
Mierin Mierin axe cleaves a deep gash into the wood and she lefts it there briefly as she grabs the knob of a door and throws it out into the patch of her attack then snatches the axe back and swings it in a wide warding circle to fend off any attacks.
andrix_ST The scythe slices Mierin across the back as she attempts to parry the wood castes blows, illiciting a small grunt from the hardened warrior as she presses on in the fight. Readying herself to laugh a riposte, she hears a loud crash of glass from downstairs and a sudden increase in the shouting from the mortal crowd, women's shrieks piercing her ears.
Mierin Mierin continues on dispite the burning pain of the wound knocking her to one knee. She bows her head briefly and speaks a small prayer which turns into a low chant as she stands up again. Her caste mark flares brillantly from under her helmet in a blinding burst of light that bleaches the entire hallway as if it had been under the sun for hundreds of years.
Mierin As her essence flows to fuel her attack her weapon gleams brightly in the light as she unleashes a series of attacks with pruely transcendent skill.
andrix_ST The wood exalt blinks at the light, forced back by the spectacle. Quickly, years of training snap into place and prompt her to activate her defences, a mild aura surrounding her as she channels her essence around her and flows fluidly to block the epic blows
andrix_ST Mierin finishes her flurry, cutting through the woods defences and knicking her viciously. Preparing for more blows, all three are taken by suprise and knocked helplessly to their feet as a massive series of explosions rocks the bar downstairs. Floorboards are sent flying and you're left on a precarious standing, not sure which of the now flaming boards are safe to stand on and which could collapse if put under pressure.
andrix_ST One of the rooms which was directly above the bar is now no existant, a massive hole going straight through to the common room filled with a burning conflageration left in its place
andrix_ST The earth caste rushes you, but the floorboards collapse, and she falls to the floor, taken by suprise and unable to brace herself, she twists her leg as she hits the ground
andrix_ST The earth caste, flustered by the loss of his partner, rushes you again, overextending himself and attacking indiscriminatly
Mierin Mierin snorts in disgust under her helmet and grabs the shaft of the weapon as it glides by her and guides it down into the floor, safely away from her body. "I think you should retreat before you are finished, Dragon-Blooded."
andrix_ST The Dragonblooded, knowing he's best, leaps over your head and grabs his wounded companion, pushing apart the stones in the wall and leaving to fight another day
