Although Barracker had a well distinguished boot camp and early career as a soldier, his Paladin training was not amongst the very best.  He was always excellent at following orders, combat training and keeping his armour and dorm clean.  He lacked in a crucial area, and that was the strength in his source domain affinity.  He lacked the ability to control his domain of magic, so much so that a couple of academic teachers spent a lot of sessions hammering into his head at least something he could manage at his low level.  A couple of spells that would be useful for monster hunting, which were stoneskin and lesser barrier.  Ironically earth domain and light domain were neither his domain affinity.  His actual domain had never crept to the surface or really served much purpose.  Until now.

When the steam bomb was launched, and Barracker lost sight of the enemy’s position.  Somehow he realized he could still sense him, even as Zigmund moved towards Zell.  His eyes followed, even though blinded by the steam cloud.  It was so out of the ordinary that he was paralyzed for a second, wondering how this was possible.  Luckily James was not so paralyzed and was able to save Zell with a bold move to say the least.  His leader was a solid strategist but man, would he take insane risks when he had to.  Zell would get to savor another breath, thanks to James’ quick and decisive action.  

The steam cloud suddenly disappeared, his sight came instantly back.  With a double blink, his eyes reset, adjusting back to normal.  His gaze was set on Zigmund.

A water javelin was thrown his way.  Barracker sprinted ahead, raised his shield arm, swinging to parry the javelin off target and past him.  It flew off into the distance, evaporating into droplets.  The Vampire joined his friend, Fenna.  Back into the action he went, the Paladin’s vampiric speed so fast that he skidded low in the dirt, slowing as he slid just behind Fenna’s back, ducking the butt of her spear as she and Zigmund circled in their duel.  Once clear of her and with Zigmund circling into him, the vampire changed direction, keeping his momentum and aiming to swoop into a sword swing with his claymore.  The sword swung to meet Zigmunds legs, at the same time Fenna aimed for his abdomen.
