Arofice's pasabas lands a good strike to Sofina's right arm.  

Sofina grimaces at something unseen.

High Priestess Aemaranth just arrived.

High Priestess Aemaranth limps east.

Arofice subtly shifts his hold on a scarlet glaes pasabas inlaid with Eth'ral'khh symbols.

Darting in quickly, Arofice feints his glaes pasabas at Sofina's head.

Arofice's glaes pasabas lands a good strike to Sofina's head!

Sofina is lightly stunned!

High Priestess Aemaranth just arrived.

Sofina grimaces at something unseen.

Salvitoriel inhales sharply, then violently spits a bolt of churning flame toward Aemaranth!

Aemaranth's silver glow flares.

Some of the fiery breath breaks against her octagonal shield.

As flame climbs in dancing streams along Aemaranth's left arm, a myriad of smoking burn marks emerge on the skin.

Aemaranth bursts into flame with a roaring *WHOOOMPH*!

Aemaranth is branded with a trail of jagged red-orange lines!

Ollythander tries to move onward, but something holds him fast.

Arofice leaps from hiding and ambushes Sofina!

Arofice's pasabas blazes red, striking out and exploding into a ball of flames and lands a heavy strike that pokes a nasty hole in Sofina's neck.  

Aemaranth begins to advance on Salvitoriel.

Salvitoriel coughs, expelling a puff of smoke.

Ollythander appears somewhat less confident.

Sofina grimaces at something unseen.

With a spiderweb of electrical sparks, an electric javelin diffuses away into nothing.

A blithe house spirit materializes in a waft of chamomile and sage.

Aemaranth screams in agony and runs around in circles as the flames consume her left arm!

Ollythander tries to move onward, but something holds him fast.

Sofina goes east.

Wyvern Arena, Green Corner

An iron portcullis blocks a dark tunnel leading deep within the walls.  Howls and screeches drift across the sands from the doorway, mingling with the sounds of the spectators.  Swarms of gnats fly thick in the air like angry black clouds, occasionally darting to the walls to feast on the blood of the recently dead.  

Also here: Sofina who is covered with whitened ridges.

Obvious paths: south, southwest, west.

Wyvern Arena, Blue Corner

Impaled in the wall is the massive blade of a sword, snapped off like the tooth of a large predator.  Several scorch marks line the wall leading to a massive mark still bearing the silhouette of the victim of an attack where his body protected the wall from damage.  You also see a small fiery fissure, a floating vessel of flaring crimson light and a quartz runestone.

Obvious paths: north, west, northwest.

Faint wisps of smoke rise from the mouth of a small fiery fissure.

Sofina reveals herself.

Sofina gestures.

Sofina's material disintegrates into a blood haze amidst copper and viridian arcs!  The red mist is absorbed into her body, leaving no trace of the material behind.

Sofina's skin flushes slightly.

Sofina reveals herself.

Sofina cups her hand before tilting it above a flawless chunk of moth material.

Angry hissing accompanies green-hued liquid falling from Sofina's palm all over the moth material.

Arofice leaps from hiding and ambushes Sofina!

Arofice thrusts a scarlet glaes pasabas inlaid with Eth'ral'khh symbols at Sofina.  The pasabas blazes red, striking out with a lethal fiery eruption and lands a very heavy hit that skewers a perfect hole between the shoulder blades (Heart Burn!)!  

Sofina falls unconscious!

A stentorian voice announces, "Sofina loses!"


An attendant drags Sofina off the arena floor.

Knight Protector Ollythander just arrived, leading his group.
