The Forgotten Hero makes one last move...

Mendel is slumped over beside him, and is alive, but too tired to even get up. He has lost alot of blood, but still conscious at this point. He is exausted from his attempts to keep himself alive against the (dominated) guard. He is on the far right wall, and nearby is the doorway to the Right Wing.

Mendel had watched his best friend die, after coming to fend off the drow and dominated guard. The guy that had been a tool in the hand of the mage laid there on the floor, unmoving after Kendel had disarmed and injured him. He'd need medical care soon, or he could bleed to death. Mendel looked down at his own wounds and realized the same thing. He was already feeling light-headed and sleepy for loss of blood. He just sat there against the wall and watched the battle rage on around him. The drow had been approached by another, obviously an ally from the looks of it since he had come in with Marcos. Another man stood behind the door on the south wall firing arrows at the invisible mage, hoping to hit him. Marcos came in and began searching for the mage as well, using a net to trap a large owl in the process.

All around him...fighting was taking place. But then something odd occurred. Suddenly, Marcos was standing still while a skeleton faced him, yet still not moving from where it stood. A fireball exploded in the floor's center, sending flames licking at the Inquisitor and the man with the arrows. But not even a second after the fire began to burn did a spray of icy cold come from near the corner of the room to freeze the newly burned Marcos. What was going on? It was incredible at the sight of such power erupting all at once, not to mention that skeleton standing over there all the sudden as though it had always been there. When Mendel wiped the pain from his eyes at seeing all the sparks and flashes occur in rapid succession, he heard a voice near him...seemingly from the same wall that he was leaning against. He followed that voice and saw a flash of light, almost as tall as a man, he supposed.

Mendel hurt alot. But he knew he had to do something. It looked like this mage might kill everybody in this room if nothing was done. Using the wall to support him, he pushed against it while working his knees to bring himself standing upright. He had not weapon nor could he hold one, he supposed. Keeping his back to the wall as a brace to keep him from falling, Mendel inched along, trying to hurry but making sure he did not fall. He had to make it.

When he got there, the flashing was not as bright as before and Mendel had to stare hard to see it. There! It is there!

He lunged at the faint outline of a shimmering ghost-like shape, who was still reciting some kind of phrase and working his arms. The images all around the room proved this. He lunged forward, leaving the safety of the wall and grabbed the air where he supposed the mage was. He grabbed something that should not have been there, and the talking stopped. It was as hard as a rock! Mendel and the object both fell to the ground. When Mendel was abl to again think straight after the fall, he lashed out with his fist and hit the object he had ahold of. When he did, something odd happened. The rock-hard object softened, and became flesh-like. But then his other arm began throbbing with intense pain and he grabbed at his wound and cried aloud.

OOC>>>Mendel has hit Andrion twice, which is nine attacks total on the stoneskin. The stoneskin has completely dissapated.

Andrion took no damage since his stone skin was in effect during both attacks.

Mendel has suffered 2 hp for the fall, 2 hp for the punch to a rock-like surface, and 1 hp for the new pain from his wounds. Total = 5hp for Mendel.
