Flamebender Ka’graz
Written to Fireball by Pitbull
From the room that belonged to Hans’gar and Franzok, the group ran down into a large room that looked like a forge. There were two machines, almost like a production line, in the room, and on each there was a conveyor belt rolling swords into the fires on the other end. Around the machines were groups of orcs from the Burning Blade clan. And on the far side of the room, the group could see Flamebender Ka’graz, their next target.They fought their way through clump after clump of orcs, leaping upon the conveyor belts to get over them. When they reached the other side, they found themselves facing the next group of enemies, and they found themselves standing on a small ramp that led down into the room where their true prey stood, unconcerned with the group’s arrival. Ka’graz stood with her back to the warriors, facing the giant forge before her. Beside her stood another orc, smaller than her, but no doubt just as vicious. They would have to defeat him before they could focus on Ka’graz.
The group took a moment to prepare themselves, taking the time to eat a little something since their stomachs were growling, and drink a little something to wet their parched throats. Some even took a flask and downed the contents of the glass vials in order to replenish the extra energy flowing inside them.
“Okay,” Xallion said, stepping down the ramp after grabbing a handful of glowing green health-stones from a warlock’s soul well, “dis is how we gonna do dis. Basically, de ranged is gonna scatter ‘bout de room, tryin’ ta stay ‘bout seven yards apart. De melee’s gonna be right on her ass wit’ de tanks. She’s gonna send out an attack called molten torrent. It’s gonna focus on a ranged. If ya don’t have anythin’ ta immune it, ya gotta run it in ta melee.”
“Immune it like...?” asked Level.
“Paladins can bubble. Hunters can deterrence. Mages, ice block.” Xallion explained. “But if ya can’t immune it, run inta melee. Also, she’s gonna summon out some dogs. One o’ dem is gonna fixate on a tank, and de otha’ is gonna fixate on someone out in ranged. Ya gotta kite around. Eventually, dey gonna switch places. It’s important we kill dem at de same time, or dey gonna come back to life an’ our lives are gonna suck.”
“Anything else we need to know?” asked Riotstrasza.
Xallion shook his head. “Nah, dat’s about it. Just stay alive. We gonna bring down Steelbreaker first. We also gonna lust at de beginning.”
“Just make sure you remember this time.”
“Shut up!”
The group filed slowly into the room, making sure not to get too close to Steelbreaker or Ka’graz as they picked spots around the room. The ranged were careful not to take up positions near the forge, in order to make sure the melee would be safe from anything Flamebender could dish out to them or the ranged.
Schio tapped Xandyr’s shoulder, adhering a soul-stone to him. Kyel did the same for Greymoon before the bear received the green light from the group. With faces set in determined expressions, the warriors of Illuminatus readied themselves for the coming battle. Greymoon charged forward, his jaws clamping down on Ka’graz’s arm to prevent her from cutting him in two with her blade. Steelbreaker launched himself toward Roffls, and the monk danced away from the orc, leading him away from the group of melee fighters. The blood lust filled them seconds later, and under the vicious assault, Steelbreaker soon fell under the spells and blades of the fighters, leaving Ka’graz berating him, but fighting alone.
She focused on Greymoon and Xandyr as they worked to keep her from turning to those who were hacking at her back and lower legs. The casters and healers stood back as far as they could, and stood apart from one another, focusing on their respective jobs as they worked to whittle down the life of their newest enemy.
Besides the fire lines they had to avoid when Ka’graz threw them, the ranged were constantly listening for any sound, any indication, that they might be targeted by Flamebender’s spell. Schio’s voice rang out, calling the names of those who were afflicted. Depending on who it was, the target either ran in to melee, where the damage was split between all those there, or used a defensive spell that would immune the damage inflicted by the spell.
“Puppies are out!” yelled Schio as she side-stepped a fire line, flinging her hand toward the smallest of the two cinder wolves.
Xandyr took control of the larger of the two wolves, leading it away to another part of the room, just on the other side of Ka’graz and close to the forge. The melee went with him, ignoring Ka’graz in favor of the cinder wolf while the ranged did the same for their target. Just like Xallion said, at some point, the two wolves switched places, leaving some scrambling to attack the right target to make sure the two wolves died at the same time.
When they did, Ka’graz let out a roar of anger and raised her hand toward the ceiling. A swirl of fire began to coalesce around her, pulsing outwards.
“Run in!” Schio yelled, flinging a conflagrate spell as she ran toward Ka’graz. The others collapsed as well, surviving the firestorm because of the soothing healing of the druid, priests, and shaman. When the firestorm was over, the ranged hurried back to their original positions, conscious of the blades floating around the room. Then the fight started all over again.
Aware of the patterns of the fight, the ranged fighters were able to respond to Schio’s calls quicker and quicker. When Julip heard her name called, the huntress quickly stepped away from those around her and activated her deterrence ability just seconds before the ball of molten rock hit her. She felt the heat but no pain. As soon as the molten ball dissipated, Julip rejoined the attack, her bow raised and bowstring twanging with shot after shot.
“We can’t let her call the dogs a third time.” Cosmodru said, panting harshly. “If she does, we’re dead.”
“We’ll get her down.” Jakten replied. “Don’t worry.”
The two druids rejoined the fight, trying to attack harder and harder even though their energy was starting to flag a bit. It was nothing compared to what Ka’graz was feeling. The Flamebender’s strikes were becoming more wild, heavier. Her strikes were missing her targets, and blood was running from rents in her armor. Her footing was becoming more unsure, and her breathing was becoming more and more labored. She doubled over, getting a shield in the face for her lapse in attention. Her head snapped back violently, and she took a step back to try and catch her balance.
As her leg went back, a demon’s blade came in howling and lodged in the bone of her knee, shattering it. As Ka’graz went down, several spells from mage and warlock roared in and struck her in the face and chest, freezing parts of her and burning parts of her with fel energy. She struggled to rise, but her legs would no longer hold her weight. She fell to her hands and good knee - the demon’s blade came free with a sickening squelch - and Ka’graz looked up at the fighters surrounding her. She grinned, bloody teeth displayed in a macabre mask. An arrow snapped her head to the side violently and her body fell heavily to the ground. Webehuntin’ lowered his bow, though he held it ready, just in case.
Ka’graz lay in a growing puddle of her own blood, unmoving.
The warriors of Illuminatus slowly turned their backs on her and headed back up the ramp, going toward the left instead of back across the conveyor belts and up the stairs. They didn’t have far to go before they saw their next enemy, and they entered the small room cautiously, keeping close to the door to keep from being attacked until they were ready.
