The jotun had sprung to its feet just as Amity collided with it, sending the creature into a wall with an impact that shook the building and dislodged chunks of brick. It rose again quickly with a feral snarl and turned its crimson gaze on Amity. It looked from her, to the sword, and back to her, before dashing forwards with alarming speed and swiping at the Uruz rune's head with enough force to split open concrete. Her aim might have stood some change of landing true, had the explosion not shaken the place, throwing her off her mark with its force. Flames poured through the room, surrounding the jotun, who was, as one of the children of fire, both unharmed and unfazed by it. The flames ate away at patches of the top she wore, leaving more of the greyish, fractured-looking skin. The crack-like markings seemed to glow dull red in the scorched room. The heat had all but cauterized the wound across its upper arm, which was now black and sticky. Emobolded by this, the jotun roared and surged forwards, making another swipe at Amity with an intent to grab her. If it could get hold of her then it would be over. ---- Complete chaos. Rather than wait for Clifton or Madison to give the order, runes from teams had already broken formation and run towards the danger. She moved to call after them, but the moment the first cleared the window. Boom. In a split second Oren could feel it. Feel the rune on her back seem to flicker and diminish a little, like a candle in a bell jar. Algiz was dead. She was not the only one. At least one more body lay like a broken toy far from the point of the blast. Her remaining teammate was looking toward her, about to take the next route into the current vortex of death that was the burning house. Sowilo rune could protect you from the fiery death that had consumed Silvarae and Volkir. But there was not a lot it could do about getting crushed by a collapsing ceiling. Not to mention they were now working at half capacity with one of Heimdall dead and the Aett Field diminished. The woman spoke up, shouting over the roar of fire. [b][color=6ecff6]"Listen! If you don't want to end up like that then you don't go in and you do as I say!"[/color][/b] [b][color=6ecff6]"Ansuz. Kenaz. You don't feel a change, right? Your power does not feel diminished? If so you're the only ones with a full aett right now and you need to make use of it. We have to lure the jotun outside. As long as it's in there, it has the advantage and the hazards of the environment are more likely to kill us than the jotun is. Kenaz, do you think you can create an illusory raid in there, let it think its cover is gone? Ansuz. Try and work out what the hell is going on in there and where it's going to breach. Be ready because when it does it's coming out fast. Sowilo, going to need you repressing the jotun's fire when it breaks out. House is a lost cause at this point. Laguz hang back. At this rate we're going to need you. Berkano? Where's Berkano- SHIT!"[/color][/b] As she tried to locate the rune needed for using roots to prop the house exactly what she feared happened and the house gave a drunken lurch as the side that had just exploded began to collapse under its own weight. The Isa rune broke into a run forwards and extended her hand towards the crumbling wall. The cracks and charred gaps of exposed masonry of the building glimmered merrily against the flames as weaved through the cracks and locked it in place like mortar. She stopped next to the broken body of her former teammate, stepping over it as if it were a potato sack. Her steely grey gaze was all on the house. The constant heat from the fire was going to be fast eroding her improvised prop, and the house's water supply was already compromised, so she was struggling to pull anything to work with from the dry air. She had no idea how long she could keep this up, but it wasn't long. [b][color=6ecff6]"Uruz! If you are still alive then get the fuck out of that house!"[/color][/b] she shouted over the roar of the fire. Almost out of water. Almost out of time. Unless. She extended a hand out toward Silvarae's body, or more accurately, the pool of blood that surrounded the bearer of Algiz. It began to collect from the ground and bend to the Isa user's will, collecting into a cloud of icy crystals before being directed into the collapsing wall, now tinted a cheery pink by its content. Waste not want not. Having done this, she turned to look back at the remaining members of the runes. [color=6ecff6][b]"Get to it."[/b][/color]
