Sophie's healing spell restores some of Quitxi's lost life force, and she looks healthier. Moving out of the way for the rushing half ogre, Sweetwater advances on the pile of animated rocks, and begins hacking at it, trying to knock it apart. The blow is solid, and sends the rocks scattering, where they lie still.<br/><br/>Quitxi uses her innate magic to plunge the room into shadows, then moves across the room, past the now-defeated elemental, to where the villainous man stands. He snarls at her, taking a step back and hurling the same bolt of energy once more. Fortunately for her, the bolt hits the chair next to her; apparently, it looked like her in the darkness. A large hole appears in the back of the chair, and the man curses.<br/><br/>The fire elemental moves over to Sweetwater, jetting flames in her direction. They scorch her rather badly, leaving a deep reddish mark. (7 damage.)
