Death Haze

Those norkers are a bane, he thought and the fighters don’t need the added aggravation. If  he was to harry them, he needed to reposition outside of… Suddenly everything was shrouded in a white. Searing white. He was screaming for a time but at some point too everything became distant and unimportant. He was falling alone. He fell for an age.

From floor-level, everyone seemed to look like giants. The heavy shadows of the protagonists obscured what was happening. What was happening? It was important that he knew. Also everything was further dimmed by an overlay of dark red. Motion blurred and everything moved sooo slowly. Blackness edged his vision and he struggled against the encroaching peace to stay aware.

A few steps away, Garrosh glows in a healing haze. He pursues Paldemar and but draws an attack from the bronze warder. He grimaces at the pain, his scale armor trailing blood. The warder draws a swing likewise, from Yshven but it is still a ways off from falling. Paldemar shifts away from the attacking cleric and casts eyebite rendering himself invisible to Garrosh. He laughs at the dragonborn clerics frustration. Undaunted, Garrosh pursues the invisible Paldemar, swinging his sword with a growl. He grins as his quarry cries out in pain, a large spatter of blood evidence of the wound inflicted. Yshven joins the pursuit but his passing attack misses Paldemar and the warder both. The norkers concentrate on Kurgan and he falls to the slings and flails.

Paldemar braces himself, daunted by Garrosh’s attack, and blocks Yshvens hammer-swing with an angled staff parry. The bronze warder gives a mechanical shriek and tramples Kurgan and Yshven, hitting the dwarf on the charge. Garrosh mutters a healing word for the fallen Kurgan, steps aside and swings at Paldemar but misses. Paldemar interrupts Garrosh with his eyebite again and connects drawing a bitter curse from him.

Yshven misses Paldemar and bleeds from the warders attack. The norker slingers miss Kurgan, but one of the flailers connect.
