The Storming of Meneldorod
The tilt of the floor proves too much for Ayas who is unable to prevent himself from sliding along the floor to crash into the wall that now sits at the base of the slope, though the rest of you fare better.
With uncharacteristic agility, Brugar not only manages to regain his feet and avoid falling into the hole in the centre of the chamber, but is also able to launch himself across the slope towards the approaching demon, his shard bedecked shield held out before him.
Hamin does not fare as well as the Dwarf, not trusting his ability to navigate the gradient, but the one-eyed warrior is at least able to manoeuvre himself to a perch on the edge of the hole where he can brace his bladed weapon.
Behind her father, Yetta too is able to stand, but chooses to take the time to set her footing in the hope of being able to stay upright if the angle of the floor worsens, as she considers which of the many dire threats besetting you to concentrate on.
The unholy nimbus of rainbow lights that cloak the demon suddenly burst outwards ... but as they slam into Brugar in his headlong flight towards the foe they are sucked into the shield, the crystals flaring with a bright light of their own as the Dwarf cannons into the fiend's legs ... though only manages to deflect the creature's path but a little.
The demon snorts gutterally, perhaps angry, perhaps only amused, raking at Brugar with cracked claws that merely scratch his glowing shield.
And down below, in the hole beneath the sundered seal, Alasha'an kicks off from the wall to fetch up against the glowing globe of light. Shifting her grip on her dark blade, the Elf brings it down hard on the surface ...
The globe shatters in an explosion of light that streams from the hole to flood the chamber above. This at least gives the demon pause, for before the light can reach it, the fiend vanishes.
From out of the hole, a being rises slowly, a bearded giant, his skin aglow with an inner radiance, Alasha'an floating in his wake. Slowly his head turns as he looks around the chamber. Raising his arm, a long oak-shafted spear appears in his hand which he lifts above his head.
The mountain stops, rights itself as the floor levels out, though you do not feel the motion, merely the cessation.
"I am Lugh," the radiant giant tells you, calmly. "What has befallen here ?"
