As Barracker woke to the sounds of screams, he was up immediately.  He felt mostly healed and fresh from a goodnight sleep, helped by his encounter with MacKensie.  [Color=Pink]"THE NINJA! THE NINJA IS HERE!!!"[/color]  

[Color=Green][i]MacKensie.[/i][/color]  His vampire hearing heard her words clearly, then he remembered from Zell’s tale of what Second Chance members have been through.  This ninja seems powerful and would be a dangerous threat.  The Paladin rushed up, threw on his leather jerkin, boots and grabbed his tower shield and claymore.  He ran up the set of stairs, connecting the basement to the ground level of the temple.  As he was running, he shoulder charged through two doors in a row, placed his visor on and was unwilling to contend with the maze of rooms to get to the entrance.  Barracker used the table as a launch pad to hurl himself through the highly placed stained glass window.  In a shower of shattering colored glass, he landed in the courtyard and saw MacKensie facing off with the mysterious enemy. 

The Paladin could hear such pain in MacKensie’s voice as he came to her side. [Color=Pink]"Lillianna."[/color]

"I had a lot of fun with her.  A shame that her fragile wizard body could not last longer."  The mysterious opponent bragged. 

 Now the vampire understood.  He had not known Lillianna long but it struck a nerve that would urge him to fight harder than ever.  [Color=Green]“Today there will be justice for the dead.”[/color]

As this new threat kept talking, he listened closely, ready to react to any attack thrown his way, but also noticed in the corner of his eye, the demeanour of his friend. [Color=Green]“Be brave, MacKensie,”[/color] he whispered to his comrade, although he could see by the display of power he realized that this would be mightily tough.  

"This is where you all die." 

[Color=Green]“MacKensie, wait,”[/color] Barracker rushes after her as she charges, but the Ranger was so fast now he failed to keep up with her.  Then the colossal weapon materializes, and evasive action was required.  Barracker leaped out of the immediate danger zone, quickly muttering the word for his transmutation spell, ‘StoneSkin.’  With the combination of StoneSkin and clever use of his tower shield, he evaded taking any damage from the blast radius. 

He spent a millisecond’s thought lamenting the damage to his god's temple, but the better part of his mind was focused on Adam's arrival and the incredible synchronicity of Adam and MacKensie’s attack.  He spared no time to join in, swift and true and currently made of stone, he charged in.  

His first act was to intercept the incoming stab attempt on MacKensie, letting his stone skin instantly put a stop to the lethal steel.  Then when Zigmund went after Adam,  Barracker followed with fury, [Color=Green]“Today there will be justice for the dead members of Second Chance,”[/color] and entered into a homing whirlwind of shield bashes and sweeps, greatsword swings and stabs, ending his furious combination with a flip into an aerial downwards haymaker slash.
