The Battle for the Refuge
Edward stumbled back, the contact of the large stone enough to send his armored frame skidding across the ground a few feet before the force fell away. “Which was is standing..” Clearly, it had knocked something loose in his brain for a moment, and it took the butt of his hammer to act like a staff for him to get back up. The Champion that had flung the boulder looked towards the group of combatants that had been dealing with the first one as a group.
“No you fuckin’ don’t..” At that moment, a sigil cast on him by Boreas Strathorne sent a surge of fury through his system. The azure flame of guardian burst from his hands, racing up his arms to catch at the shoulders and course over his body uncontrolled. Edward leapt into the air a great distance away, clearly too far to where he would not of made it, but a well timed Judges Intervention caused his body to flash from existence, instantly reappearing within range and bringing the hammer down. While only a glancing blow, it was enough to knock the large creature off balance, letting the thud that trembled the platform be his signal to whirl, and bring the hammer in an arc over the fallen Champion’s body once to gain speed, then come down hard upon it’s skull to the tune of a sickening crunch. No undeath would course through that body again, and Edward in his fury slammed both fists into his chest plate like some primal beast, letting a snarl sound from his lips. Azure embers sparked from his breast plate before his attention turned to the third of the four champions rising slowly as if he was going to truly do something. In Ed’s fury, there was little chance of this. It only took two hop steps, but Edward whirled a second time, spinning to the point where his feet would plant, and his hips would swing with intense follow through. Perhaps Edward’s speed, or intensity had caught the creature off guard, but either way, the force in which Edward contacted with that hammer was enough to send the champion right off his feet, and soaring off the cliff. Shout out to @iamkuryakin on a job well done. Thanks for letting Ed go ham. Also..natural 20′s are fuckin’ dope to roll.
