Homer's attack is ill-timed and misses his beastman opponent. Franko's charm fails and he knows he will be unable to cast it again today. The gods of chance turn their backs on Hank as knowledge of his spell drains away into the ether. Luckily for Hank his wolf is still fighting amongst the beastmen and tears out the throat of another.
Tender's sword ends yet another beastman and they are beginning to falter; almost half lie on the steps of the ziggurat. If it weren't for the Chaos Lord it would almost be certain that they would have broken ranks and fled by now. Boral's spell may have failed but Kurl's did not. Again he feels the force of the divine bolstering his spell as he blesses Siva.
Combat is an ever-continuing swirl of Chaos. Spears flash in the red firelight. Most are unblooded in the fray but a few find their mark. One of Hank's replica's vanish in an attack. Kurl is struck a glancing blow that nevertheless sends him spinning out of balance and drops him to his knees. Two lunge at Narancasta but both miss his magically enhanced self. One trips and falls at Siva's feet. Hank's last replica goes up in a puff of smoke. The wolf takes another injury but still fights on. And Scylla Sar-Rat, Krivstad's rat-catcher, is shoved off the side of the ziggurat and tumbles to the water below with a shriek.
The Chaos Lord laughs and strikes his flail against the floor of the ziggurat. Sparks fly and the spiked head of the weapon bursts into flame. His attack passes under Narancasta's arm harmlessly but leaves a streak of soot on his armor.
Narancasta strikes back: his longsword cuts deep into the body of the Chaos Lord and when pulled back glows with the heat of magma. Even with Kurl's blessing Siva's arrow misses.
[sblock=OOC]Deuce, Kurl is beginning to suspect that the silver torc is somehow strengthening his connection to the divine...
