As Cirdan turns, Alain conjures a fistful of lightning with a magic word, then hurls the ball at the knight!

Despite Alain's blindess, the orb strikes home. Cirdan gets a very nasty shock, but nowhere near enough to stop him.

Norzak rushes forward, fueled by pent up rage at Cirdan attacking his boy, Jon. He gets in under the half elf's defenses and opens a nasty gash on Cirdan's upper leg. Blood gushes forth, spraying Norzak over his upper torso and face! At the same moment, his shadow moves behind the Knight and slashes at him, slightly bruising Cirdan through his armored back.

"CIRDAN! Don't be a fool, drop the blade!" The Gundarakite growls a prayer, invoking the Morninglord to scorch the knight's sword. "Drop it, then everyone be backing away!"

The local men with bows hold their fire, afraid perhaps to fire into a melee.

Jonathan, now 40' feet away from the center of melee raises his newly purchased crossbow and takes aim at the knight.

Not familiar in any way with the weapon, it is no surprise that the bolt misses his target completely, sticking into a tree ten feet from Jonathan.

Norzak stabs the knight again- but the dwarf's swordpoint just skitters off Cirdan's breastplate. Norzak's shadow leaps to aid its master, but Cirdan easily shakes off its feeble assault.

The black knight chops at the dwarf with his sword, aiming at Norzak's neck! The dwarf is able to jerk away at the last possible second, and takes only a grazing wound to his left shoulder. The wound feels hot.

The sword in Cirdan's hand has begun to take on a ruddy hue- and not just from blood. It's heating up very rapidly, yet the knight doesn't drop it.

Still clinging to Alain's arm, Wat hurriedly attempts to describe to the blind man what's going on in the fight.

Alain then castes another spell(TS) to help his next attack hit . Then asks in a whisper to Wat to bring him to within 15 ft. of Cirdan .

Cirdan doesn't answer to Diorgio any more...

Red flames sparkle from his eyes, and white strings of foam follow the movement of his burning sword...

With an abrupt movement of his shield, he brutally pushes Norzak out of his way, so noone stands between him and Jon any more...

YOU ARE IN HELL, LITTLE MAN.
AND I AM THE DEVIL

His shield before him to block Jon's crossbow, Cirdan will rush towards the boy, using his sword like a lance, and try to thrust it through Jon's body...

As he sees how the others prepare to rush down on him, Cirdan growls...

FIGHT ME FAIRLY!

[Knight's challenge to Norzak and Jon.]

Jonathan sees Cirdan running sluggishly towards him, his sword at the deadly ready. The moment the Knight reaches him, Jonathan stabs with all of his might at Cirdan. The silver blade once again finds blood-stabbing true the armored figure before him. Not waiting to see how well the blade strikes, the boy tumbles nearly twenty feet away, back towards Norzak.

A second after issuing the challenge, Cirdan collapses to the earth. He's dropped his sword, which now glows white-hot.

"You're not the devil, you're just practice."

Norzak's shadow leaps from the bushes and claws at the fallen knight.
