==Transcript==
===Introduction===
"The blue wyrm-"
This latest incarnation of the shout, from a band of roaring berserkers, degenerates into a series of curses and profanities. Their rush falters along with the cry. Instead of hurtling towards the soldiers ahead, and painting their swords and axes red with their eponymous ferocity, they slip, slide, totter, and stumble.
The snow has turned to ice beneath their feet.
PikemanThis should be "Pikemen" and not "Pikeman". This has been reported to the developers. --GameTommy 06:00, July 21, 2012 (UTC) are quick to capitalize. Their long weapons thrust at the disarrayed berserkers while they themselves stand beyond the spell's effect, jabbing and piercing. One Nord is transfixed through the abdomen -- the pike's point erupts from his back amid a spray of blood and tiny chunks of gore that scatter themselves across the ice behind him. And yet he struggles forward, axe raised, until another weapon takes his throat.
"Mage!" Brachus shouts.
Tessa raises her brow, but the glowing-handed sorcerer has already slipped back behind his brethren. She settles for sending the shaft into a pikeman's neck instead.
===Conclusion===
Tessa Tullian keeps firing at the soldiers. But all the while her predatory stare roams for her true quarry. You know that look in her eyes. Inexorable death is hovering above the mage, wherever he is.
The arrow finds him before your gaze. She could only have caught a glimpse of his robed form amid the remaining warriors. It's enough. He tumbles in the snow, clutching at the blue-fletched arrow in his leg. Your friend seldom misses a kill shot unless she wishes too...
Snow has returned in place of the conjured ice, the spell ended now that the mage is too busy rolling on the ground and screaming to sustain it. This time there's nothing to stop the berserkers' charge.
Some of them plough into the soldiers, hacking apart those who escaped the winnowing from Teucer's old bow. One falls upon the mage. A few seconds later a pink, tangled mass flies into the air. It takes you a moment to realize that it's the spellcaster's intestines.
