Varis was horribly injured as hideous gashes lined his body with blood staining both his armor and his clothes. Blood dripped from his on axe and he knew he wasn't going to last long. He wouldn't be able to handle this. His body was unable to deal with the pain and every movement felt like agony. A silent prayer for the strength to at least last for a bit longer and ignore the pain for now was what he asked for.<br/><br/>Immediately he grits his teeth and with a powerful war cry he swings his ax at the thrall trying to carve a path between himself and the leader seeing how he had in his foolishness gotten even closer to the battle. His eyes glanced to Guts as he would speak aloud<strong>"Resist temptation and raise yourself up in righteous fury!"</strong>Divine energy surges through Guts and the Paladin's words seem more then capable of reaching him. He just had to resist it.<br/><br/>If the Paladin has a clean line to the thrall he would take it or risk it. He knew the next few seconds were going to be his end regardless but that didn't mean the party would not have to go with him. Surging forward as fire burns through his body pleading for him to stop the Cult Leader found himself face to face with the bloodied knight and with a sudden swing of his axe, divine might surged through Varis biting deeply into the Cultist giving a telling blow of legend. Witnessing this heroic act, Zame found the paladin fighting as injured as he was inspiring as the archer feels the pain from his own body leave him spurred on by the knights will to fight on in a horrible state.<br/><br/><strong>OOC Breakdown</strong><br/><br/>Standard Action: Attack<br/>Intended Target: Thrall (K-10)<br/>Attack Roll: 16+5 = 21 ( http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939797/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939797/) )<br/>Damage Roll: 3+3 = 6 ( http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939827/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939827/) )<br/><br/>Minor Action: Channel Divinity: Divine Mettle (Guts gets a Saving Throw right away against the dazed effect with a bonus equal to my Charisma which is +3)<br/><br/>Move Action: Varis moves to M-8<br/><br/>Action Point: Gain a Standard Action<br/><br/>Standard Action: Paladin's Judgement (Zane gets the Healing Surge since I cannot target myself with it.)<br/>Intended Target: Cult Leader<br/>Attack Roll: 18+5 = 23 ( http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939725/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939725/) )<br/>Damage Roll: 32+3 = 35 Damage ( http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939728/ (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2939728/) )
