"Hyaah!!" Thoth exclaimed, as after a series of parries and counter strokes, Rovana's feint and swirling water attack resulted in a deep wound in his side. It was a telling blow, yet at the same time, it seemed to awaken not despair but a keen madness in the enemy captain.
"So be it, Reaver. Let each captain declare their colours... your eye against the terrible voice of the true Lord of the Depths!"
In a surge of swinging strikes, the wounded Thoth lunged forward, and the blows of his saber hummed with an augmented force - the ominous rumble of eldritch power behind each swing. Wisely and instinctively, Rovana chose to dodge rather than parry aside those strikes. Yet still when a close blow forced her to deflect the enemy's blade, a crack like thunder left her arm numb with shock. Her swordsmanship parried the blade's course away from her body and down into the wooden planks beneath them.
The wood splintered with a terrible crack, and instantly the entire platform disc lurched to one side, as a chain mooring snapped loose. The sanctum's hanging disc slid to the side, and Rovana and Thoth both had to quickly search for a handhold...
[Rovana uncannily dodges and takes 16 thunder damage. She must make an Acrobatics check DC 12 to avoid having to slide down to the edge of the wooden platform that is now hanging at a 30 degree incline over the dark pool of water below.]
