    The Asodelian sounds rather doubtful, though, and quite confused.

    Feia turns away from Kax slightly, raising her good arm and scrawling some more glyphs in the air.

    "I see." Tel-Zaff Kax replies simply. He watches Feia trace her runes in the air for a moment, before glancing around to see if his axe survived the fall. It would really be a shame if it was broken, too. He spent ages enchanting it.

    Ah, there it was. No wonder it took him so long to see, the head was embedded all the way into the mud. Tel-Zaff Kax glances back at Feia. Looks like the witch was summoning something. If she didn't want him to bring his axe then she would just have to damn well stop him from it.

    Crossing over the mud, the orc walks up to the dragon-bone handle sticking up from the mud. He kneels down and yanks it up out of the mud. A fair bit of grime clung to the blade - he wipes that off on the ragged remnants of his clothes. It was surprising how much better he felt with the good, solid weight of a war axe in his hand.

    Glancing up, Tel-Zaff Kax looks back over at Feia. The runes she was etching were starting to take on a rectangular shape. Her back was turned to him now.
    It wouldn't work.
    It wouldn't work and he knew it.
    But he had to try.

    Raising his axe, it is no effort to pound across the muddy field and up to Feia. The axe is raised for a single strike, up and down to sever her neck --


    -- A jolt streaks across the orc's very bones like lightning as his arms and legs stop moving. Tel-Zaff Kax is frozen mid-strike, his mouth open to let out a fierce cry that escapes only as a strained gurgle.

    While Kax fetches his axe, Feia continues drawing.
    While he runs, axe ready, Feia continues drawing.
    As he swings and freezes, Feia continues drawing.

    Draws until she is finished.

    Very distinctly ignoring the orc behind her, she waits until the runes begin to glow more fiercely, growing in strength until the space in between the borders begins to twist and collapse into itself.
    It's not difficult to see that this is a gateway, of some sort.

    With that settled, she turns to Kax with a small smile.
    "I'll keep you on a point system, I think."
    The sorceress maneuvers around him, for the few moments he's likely to remain frozen. It isn't a particularly lengthy effect. Long enough for her to figure out where he was, and reach him, in most typical situations.

    In this event, long enough to finish her work, then move around behind him.

    She leans close behind him, grinning a little as she stands on her tip-toes to have her head up by his shoulder.

    But she has the slight issue of cyronades and lasers to deal with.
    A basic solution to these occurs to the sorceress though.

    While the frozen-frisbees fly onwards, Feia slides deeper into the "water", snapping an arm in an upward motion with a flicker of residual energy.
    A narrow current is dragged up through the giant bubble, seeking to throw the frisbees up, to explode in a more harmless position.
    Maybe block those lasers, with the new super-ice?

    Judging by a slight sizzling sensation she's feeling in her bandaged forearm, the answer to that would be "no".
    Her initial thought is "I have two arms! Stop abusing this one!"
    Her second thought is a touch more violent.

    The not-shot arm begins crafting a new glyph.

    4 launch upwards, 3 aimed at Feia and Ghoul, one locked onto Kirk.

    They'll arrive next post.

Well damn, looks like Kirk's ability to fly this thing is being put to the test. The drow pulls up with the bike, going to fly in such a way that the missile might hit the water bubble if it follows him.


    [The Great Water Bubble in the Sky]

    Given that the grenades were proximity-triggered, sending them upward would result in them simply rising and then falling back down, unexploded. Feia will have to deal with two of them soon, given their trajectory. The third had fallen far away enough that it would end up falling down and out of the bubble to the ground below. The chance was quite slim but it was possible that the robot may find things much colder later on.

    As for the missiles, if they were proximity-triggered, then striking the bubble would slow them down a bit, at least. If they were impact-triggered, then striking the water bubble would be sufficient to set them off as water tends to be quite solid when hit at speed. If they were timed, then the result would be similar to if they were impact-triggered as traveling through the liquid medium would be much slower than through air.

    In any of the cases, however, an explosion inside water would be much greater concussively than in air given that liquids do not compress very much, if at all. This would mean that a much greater amount of force would be delivered to all within the bubble. While this would most likely mess up Feia, Ghoul wasn't too keen on this result either.

    However, it did give her an idea. With her greater than normal density, the muse was able to sink down to the witch's level again with ease. During her short drop, she put one arm over her eyes in preparation and braced her shotgun against her shoulder with the other. She aimed by relying entirely on her sonar and due to sound being amplified underwater, this would be quite a bit more accurate than normally using this tactic. One trigger-pull later and a blast erupted from the shotgun, causing a large, momentary cavitation bubble that quickly 'popped,' radiating explosive force outward.

    It would be soon clear as to why Ghoul had covered her eyes. With the force involved, if she hadn't she would have risked them being smashed back into their sockets assuming that the heat from the cavitation bubble didn't damage them first. She would have worried about her ears as well if not for the fact that they had been reinforced as past mentioning have alluded.

    However, given her current rate of activity, she had a maximum of three more minutes before she would have to go up for air... Or rather, empty her lungs of water before suffocation began. While the cyborg had a few small oxygenating implants set aside for brief moments where poison gas or a liquid environment was necessary to traverse, it was exactly that: Brief. Also, since Feia's spell had converted ALL the air in the area to water, that included that which was present within the muse's lungs. She still had time, yes, but unless she wanted to drown on dry land, she would have to get rid of the lungfuls of fluid soon.
