Rando was not simply satisfied with destroying some trees and crushing some cacti, he needed some blood; some true carnage would be more enjoyable. However, first he would see the farm house raised and the people left homeless if alive; or rather he would have had it not been for two who had taken offense to his romp among the apple grove. Rando less than silently tore his way through the brush and fallen limbs of the great forest that shading the island of Faust stepping closer than he knew to a young woman, once the physical being of a goddess, laying in wait for the opportunity to repay the monstrosity for his actions.

Rando stopped short of the grove as a young man in black robes stood before him with a determined and serious looked on his features. He smiled his muscles undulating in anticipation, finally, someone he could watch the life drain out from.

“A little far from home, boy come to meet me?” Rando said slowly advancing on him.

Rando soon felt a sharp sting in his shoulder, followed by one more. He reached out to pull a glowing arrow from the tough hide he called his skin, clenching down on with his fist, it dispersed into lighted particles. Rando turned back at the robed man, Zayel, and started to charge him but the young man waved a small wooden stick a few times and then Rando felt searing pain on his head, burning words impacted his mind as the mage spoke.

“It was unwise for you to attack here; you should leave and return home while you can still walk.” Zayel spoke, intense focus upon Rando as he continued. “Words have more power than your fists posses, perhaps you are lost in the pain of your existence; you will fall prey to those far weaker than you.” He said shaping the terrifying world now forming in Rando’s mind.

Rando’s thoughts burned through the pain of his creation, the lifetime of pain he had caused, and unintentionally to Zayel, the pain he longed to cause. His eyes filled with bloodlust and rage, Rando charged Zayel surprising the young mage, Zayel was not quick enough to avoid the large creature Rando’s hand wrapped around Zayel’s torso as he lifted him into the air. Zayel winced in pain as his ribs were compressed.

Several more glowing arrows penetrated Rando’s skin along his arm causing his grip to loosen but not fail. Zayel’s skin turned thicker and more resistant to the constant pressure, his surface becoming oilier, Rando was having trouble keeping hold of his victim, as blood started flowing from his eyes as a result of the activity going on within his head. A shadow moved in his periphery, as it moved it became more and more visible, with a rancorous yell Rando threw Zayel at the being that in turn moved to break his fall. The two skidded to an abrupt stop on a nearby tree, a trail of cleared brush making a line to the injured duo.

Zayel blacked out from the trauma he had endured. Artemis is turn was unable to quickly shift the weight from her lap. She was able to free her hands and fired volley after volley of arrows into the muscle bound beast to no avail. In an attempt to give herself time she fired at the peculiar spot that all bipeds shared, the ankle. In two shots, Rando started to stumble, in one more he almost fell. Rando then ran full forced, only to be clipped by the arrows that had penetrated his skin. He was flung into the dense brush, his head making an audible crack on a large stone, where he lay unmoving.

"I guess Achilles isn't the only one." She murmured.

Artemis managed to rouse Zayel and, supporting each other, they limped away; leaving their prey gurgling in his own saliva.

Outcome: Ambush Successful
Zayel Blackstaff: 5EXP, Wounded
Artemis: 5EXP, Wounded
Rando: 5EXP, Wounded
