The bolt hit the loaded leg and the whole harness rang.
`[WAR CAPTAIN — HP: 7,150 → 5,020]`
James came through with a hand out while the side plate was gaping.
`[NECRO BLAST — 60 MANA]`
`[MANA: 2,720 / 3,100]`
`[WAR CAPTAIN — HP: 5,020 → 2,760]`
And the captain kept fighting.
He took a skeleton apart with one stroke. He caught Finn across the chest plate hard enough to send him back four metres with his boots off the ground, and Finn had to disengage entirely to get his wind back. He broke out of the ring toward Maeve and Ronan had to sprint eight metres to get a body in between.
He was still dangerous at two thousand and he did not need anything to make him dangerous.
Then Ronan turned him one way and Finn hit him from the other, and James put Durendal through the gap in the flank plate to the crossguard.
`[WAR CAPTAIN — HP: 2,760 → 1,480]`

The stone lit up.
"*RED*," Maeve shouted, before it was past his ankles.
And this time nobody had to work anything out.
