Flight From Ironheart IC

[Archpaladin Zousha]

Dawn’s Hope - Monastery

Baerdog7/Archpaladin Zousha

Heedless of the weapons impacting against his armor and bare skin, the half-giant plows into the midst of Karth’s elite guard. Even these well armed and trained troops cannot hold the charging paladin back, and he begins to shove a clear path through them for Ander. In desperation, the other half of the guards bodily throw themselves onto Hondshioh, their combined weight finally enough to slow him, and then topple him to the ground in a confused tangle of limbs and armor.

Even from the floor in the midst of all these bodyguards, Hondshioh can see his efforts were successful. Only two bodyguards stood between Karth and Ander now, down from a dozen. However, at the same time, the last of the paladins in Karth’s way finally succumbed to the relentless assault of flame. He and the remaining two bodyguards began to lumber up into a run towards the courtyard, where their mounts awaited. Of course, more guards and paladins awaited them, but it was clear by now that no one save for Ander and Hondshioh could withstand the searing flames Karth could summon and command nigh-effortlessly. Such teachings were certainly not part of the Church’s instructions for paladins. Where then, had he gotten such incredible power?

Hondshioh

"ANDER! STOP THEM! WE CAN'T LET THEM GET AWAY!"

Hondhshioh struggles to force the pile of men off him. Karth could not be allowed to escape, or he would destroy Dawn's Hope. There was no time to worry about strange powers now.
