<div class="floatleft">(http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120909185549/darksiders/images/9/94/War_Abyssal_Armor.png)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Karn Shademore<br/><strong>Team:</strong>Clay Dewclaw<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Near forest, Academy Main Hall<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Task Force Schwarz<br/><br/>Karn noticed something was off about the whether even before Professor Horowitz, finely honed instinct realized almost instantly that the 'snowstorm' wasn't following the wind.  However, having never encountered it before, he didn't identify the Mists until after her shouted warning.<br/><br/>The remainder of the ride was almost painfully tense and conflicting as his urge to slay grimm battled with his recognition of the impossibility of that under these conditions. Each shot from Vasili's gun was a salve to his raw soul as he saw form after form fall behind them.<br/><br/>Then they reached the bridge... Karn didn't even wait to get all the way across, or for the sled to stop, he just stepped off the back and slid in a trail of snow, water vapor, and sparks to a stop roughly two thirds of the way across the bridge. Turning he shouted over his shoulder. "I shall hold them here, where they can't simply jump across to the far shore, you must deal with those that get by me!" Even as he turned his attention back to the hoard in front of him, a particularly large Beowulf bound over his head and leapt for Raisho and Ruby. "Oh that is simply not to be permitted!" Karn pulled Gungnir from it's sheath and the next Beowulf to try and simply jump over him collapsed upon landing, having been hamstrung as it passed over. While that one began dragging itself toward the end of the bridge Karn retracted Gungnir from 16 feet back to the far more convenient 6 inch length.<br/><br/>The intelligent thing to be feeling would be fear, the normal emotions when facing something new and dangerous for the first time would be nervousness and uncertainty. Karn was grinning like a loon. Extending his free hand forward he gave the frenzied Grimm a 'come on' gesture. The next rush appeared to simply bury him in their first attack. For a moment it seemed the newest student at Avalanche Academy wouldn't be getting any older, then the Grim were thrown back and the struggle quickly resolved itself into Karn trading blows with two Beowulfs and a White Fox. Of course this meant he had nether hands nor attention to spare for any other Grimm as they jumped over the entire struggle. As more and more joined the press trying to reach him, however, he did slow the advance of the hoard to a crawl.<br/><br/>((Note: Pending GM override there are now 4 or 5 Grimm in a knot in front of Karn, 5 or 6 more have passed him but are not yet off the bridge, 1 Beowulf has been crippled and is dragging itself the rest of the way across the bridge, and 1 particularly large Beowulf is about to land on Raisho and Ruby.))
