Ice Wall

by Flicker Greenridge

Could be a safety net, the dragon's less likely to pierce through and hit me. Could be a stumbling block, prevents movement and sight and slows me down. Bane or boon?

Wolfaen knows this Rag fellow. Surely he can talk his way back into good graces, no? He's...well, not charming per se. But he's got a way about him, a loyalty and a childlike humor that wins most over. I'd gladly give them my gold for their services in assisting us here. They didn't seem willing to listen earlier though.... Still. Doesn't feel good chasing the halfling when we're here for Pip.

Did Wolf stay back because I'm here? Should I have ran out with the others across the bridge early? We could have been setting ourselves up to get rolled over. Could have lined up to get swooped on. Could could could. But those three didn't. So, it'd have been fine, right? Then again, more bodies weren't needed there. Amarille took out those undead in almost a single breath. One moment I see her in the midst of them, the next they're at her feet. Good reminder to stay away from her.

Icey wall, freezing mist, I should've been spending more time with the flames. Had I communed and honed more abilities suited to...doesn't matter now. I'm here now. We're here now. Not smart to try to go down, the fog's chill is unnatural. What of the wall? Could be a safety net, the dragon's less likely to pierce through and hit me. Could be a stumbling block, prevents movement and sight and slows me down. Bane or boon?

Likely a bane to Keth. He always gets right up in the fray. This time will be no different. Ah, he's already heading up, hardly a stumbling block then. What of Helaena...? I think I was wrong before. I don't think it's only the name that's changed. I can't predict...couldn't ever really...but now more than before, I'm unsure what powers she holds. May the gods guide her.

That leaves me here? Or do I join them? Or -

Acorns

An apparition...?

Yes, certainly, it's a ghost. Sad? Wh-- What? Keth's not an orc. In fact he's killed more orcs than any of us. A monster? Who....this...this is a distraction.

Focus, Flicker.

Focus and save Pip.
