[Player Plot] Fall of the Colossus

[colecomfort]

WHO: Cole, Outsider, Tim Gutterson, Inessa, Sam Gareth, Ciri, Kain
WHAT: Taking down Adamant Fortress
WHEN: Late Harvestmere
WHERE: The Western Approach
NOTES: Battle violence

Dwarven architecture is made to last. The fact that Adamant Fortress is still standing at all is a testament to this, having been constructed at the edge of the Abyssal Rift before even the Second Blight — but its age does show. Centuries of neglect, along with the destruction wrought within it in the modern Age, have left it nearly a ruin. The walls are worn, collapsed in places. The corridors crawl with demons, and the occasional darkspawn who finds his way up through the Rift.

Left to its own devices, the fortress would surely collapse, reduced to rubble by wind and sand. But until that was done, it would remain a bruise on the land, even somewhere as desolate as the Approach.

So. Instead, it falls today.

"We play to our strengths and we take out as many as we can. That ought to be distracting enough." Much like Ciri, Kain feels an anger rising in his chest, rage over what had happened, all of the horror and blood spilled in here. He glances quickly at the group. They've got a mix of fighting styles, which ought to be very useful. "And don't forget... where there's one, there's bound to be more."

With that, he charges toward that demon, indeed just one of several lurking in the vicinity. His two-handed Reaver style means he's all for up-close combat, and he starts off swinging with determination at the creature.

Well if Ciri was planning on using any of those flasks she was going to have to be careful seeing as Kain had already charged in. Judging by the screech he was already hacking away at whichever demon ahead.

Just so that they aren't at a disadvantage, Sam shoots up a flame, arching it over the space Kain had disappeared to, illuminating the area for a time. After that he sets to casting Heroic Aura over the group to aid them in the fight - since Inessa had already taken care of the barriers.
