Fire And Ice
Erik cursed as Yul struck him with a tentacle yet again. Slamming him into the ground. The blood leaking from his wounds and his mouth stained the sand in shades of red. Despite his battered state Erik appeared to be enjoying himself.
His men surrounded him to buy him time to recover. They watched on helplessly as more of their numbers were culled by the giant. Yul was releasing a burst of horrifying laughter as he put an end to more mortal lives. He could barely remember the last time that he had indulged himself so much.
The hands at the tips of tentacles each summoned a man-sized spear of earth before hurtling them a the densely packed meat shield surrounding Erik. The heroes steeled their hearts as they prepared themselves for death, safe in the knowledge that their sacrifice would buy their commander enough time to escape the onslaught.
