[IC] Chapter 2-5: You're whirling 'round...

[DM Surranó]

(wrapping up because it's just a matter of who does the deed, it is done anyway...)

The second mantis also falls to the vicious blows of those around.

(Battle over)

Just as the dust settles, a gravely voice is heard from the North,

"... akaki honoo yo!"

-- and a burst of flame, the size and shape of a ballista bolt,  shoots past the spectators overhead, passing harmlessly through the image of the huge wasp, and scattering to a shower of sparks just about twenty feet further.

Those looking towards the source and not towards the target can see Zelgadis emerging from the surrounding darkness, his cape flowing around him.

"Seems it dwells in fire... Subete no chikara no --"

As he continues on his course and starts intoning a new spell a pale blue crystal starts to form in his half-clenched fist.

(OOC - feel free to insert one round worth of whatever in reaction to his first spell before he starts casting the second one...)
