As Herriman began his charge, Priroda made an upcut motion with her hammer. Herriman was clearly out of reach still, at least 20 ft away. She used the motion of the hammer instead as a catalyst for her earth magic. A platform of sandstone rose beneath priroda's feet, and simeltaneously, brass rose from the earth, to form plated armour around her body. The platform rose up perhaps 8 or 9 feet skywards, and was wide enough for two people to stand, just past arms reach upon the top. She still had not broken the height boundaries, so really, nobody could complain too much. When alas the platform had reached the desired height, which took just about 2 seconds, she lowered her hammer, and took a stance with her kneese bent, and the hammer on the floor in front of her. She seemed to be either taking stance, or building energy.
