The stress of storing Darkness' energy, however briefly, had left Phaerys' suit rather worse for wear. Internal systems had suffered some damage, and the joints in the left side were unpleasantly stiff. Nothing beyond repair, yet nothing that could be properly looked at in the heat of battle. He would have to make do.

The Ataran looked up from his suit to see that, ultimately, his attack had proven ineffective - Light had regenerated back to fighting form. He was about to tap into the well of Darkness once more, but sensed the energy flowing elsewhere, into Vee. Likewise, Light's power from the other well was drawn into her. A curious phenomenon that seemed to have left Light truly unsettled. Regardless of the unknown voice's request, Phaerys recognised the opportunity to turn the tide of battle.

While Soul Reaver intercepted Light's attack, Phaerys reassessed his combat priorities. He did not fancy the risk of tapping into the well again, and so turned his attention to Darkness' duplicates this time. Phaerys distanced himself from the well and cast a spread of fireballs at the closest copy. He kept himself on the move - limping slightly from the damage to his suit - adopting a hit-and-run approach as he sought to position himself back behind his allies before the inevitable counterattack.

Six on one, eh? Now -this- was a good fight. While the six-armed Warboss was surrounded by his enemies, his lust for battle never wavered, his grin only growing wider.

"You'z must be dumber dan I thought, ya spikey git. Dis is wot I call a 'target rich envirunment'." Gulgrim chuckled. Indeed, the Warboss could hardly swing a punch or swipe with a Power Klaw without threatening to hit at least -one- of his opponents. And while he may not have been able to dodge all of the combined attacks of his enemies by traditional means, all should know by now that the Warboss was not confined to traditional means.

When a strike honed in from one of Darkness's copies, suddenly the Avatar of Gork and Mork would no longer be there, his honing battle-focus heightening his reaction time and increasing the efficiency of his teleportation as he slipped through the onslaught of his enemy, often leaving his opponents exposed to friendly fire as a strike carried through the space that Gulgrim had previously occupied, now carrying towards another of the copies surrounding the big green juggernaut.

It would be difficult to describe something so massive and weighty as 'agile' but the Gargantuan warboss seemed to move like smoke, striking swiftly and ferociously before vanishing away from potential counterattack.

The Warboss may not have been able to permanently put down his enemy in this manner, but he was more than happy to fight for as long as it took for his allies to accomplish their goals. Darkness would not get even a moment to consider another enemy if Gulgrim had anything to say about it.
