As soon as he had seen the earth elemental reform behind the water magician, Osiris was tossed high up into the air and his hands shifted to a clawing position in the air. Ghaarme cursed the stupidity of the Earth Clans. Always action and no thought beforehand. Might as well save him, he thought with a slight grin. It was also the perfect time to test his newfound grasp of elemnt control over fire.
"Rom, watch out!" his call was drowned out by the din the large bullet smashing and exploding on Courtney's aqua shield.
The liquidous flames burst forth and around the mage, but they halted just before making contact with Romuluse. Ghaarme stood still, his grin quite wide at this point with his hands in clawed formation before him. With a quick flick of both wrists the controlled fire spiralled backwards running over the woman's body-shield once more. The artificer forced the napalm into the water of her protective manipulation, which would cause severe burns that would spread quickly unless she dropped the shield. The mixing liquids would most likely go unnoticed, and taking the time and concentration to pit her manipulative power against Ghaarme's would prove to be quite difficult. It was much easier to attack and destroy, than to defend and heal. It would also be hazardous with the unharmed Romuluse behind her. Although, it would probably take a few seconds before the woman noticed the pain.
No longer needed, Ghaarme broke the manipulation and caught his wicked six-shooter as it came down, hefting the great weapon with relative ease. Courtney had begun a charge and yellow tinted water amassed at the tip of her blade.
Cool... he thought, astounded at how fluidly water could be reformed to take another shape. The gathering water instantly coalesced into whip with quite a long reach, slashing down for Ghaarme's unprotected cranium. At least, he didn't think that the snow-cap counted as protection...
"Whoops!" the young elemental said in a mischievous tone as he sidestepped the attack. The running water rippled and eddied with his movements, but he seemed unhindered by it. By this time the napalm burns would be taking effect and Courtney would either be dropping her shield, trying to force the napalm out or just writhing in pain. In any case, this was Ghaarme's opportunity for attack.
Instead of attempting another shot at the water mage, Ghaarme made a controlled leap that carried him directly in front of the woman and holstered Osiris in the same movement. In her distracted state it wouldn't be too hard to land at least a passing blow.
With fluid grace his hlaf submerged legs spread and his sculpted torso shifted forward, carrying an outstretched palm towards Courtney's abdomen. The elementally enhanced blow, if it connected would knock her back. At the same time Ghaarme would charge the plate armor once the attack landed, and even anticipated a parry with her sword and would charge that as well.
Perfect.
