[ +- ] Torhak & 37 POV
Torhak grabs the wheel and slams it to the left. The elemental cart crackles loudly as it steers away from the spectre. The Minotaur watches it angrily pass to his right. As the cart reaches to edge of the grey mist, he hears a thunderous sound come from within the cabin below.
As he releases his thunderwave, 37 feels the cart turn violently to the left, avoiding the spirit’s waiting jaws.
[ +- ] Tryne, Vice, Meepo & Lali POV
As the rails streaks toward the switch, Tryne realizes his mistake. It’s too fast. The rail jumps the connector and continues head-on into the train before him.
All seems lost.
The engineer is helpless as his rail and all occupants are swallowed in the deafening sound and blinding light of an elemental explosion. The occupants feel the explosion rip through them and they are thrown through the cabin toward the front of their car as the wall before them crushes into them. A terrifying instant of sudden screams, immediately drowned out by the rumble and flash as both rails are destroyed in a catastrophic ball of purple energy.
The cart pulls away from the mist. Meepo, Laulalith and Vice feel like they’ve been hit by a train… but come to their senses. Their ears are still ringing from the warforge’s spell. They are safe in their seats, once more inside the elemental cart. The world outside their windows is quiet, colourless and lifeless. Even the sunlight looks grey.
Tryne finds the Minotaur’s mighty hands wrapped around his, steering the cart to the left and the cart pulls lazily away from the towering wall of grey behind them.
An abandoned and mostly stripped, stretch of lightning rail tracks passes to their left. The air around them is deathly still. The driver and his partner feel no wind on their faces, despite the speed of the cart. The only sound is the crunching of the derelict turnpike beneath the cart’s wheels and the sizzle of the lightning elemental pulling them forward.
OOC:
Meepo, Laulalith and Vice take 12 points of thunder damage
