He turned tail, and ran, his little legs pumping, carrying him towards the trap. He grinned. If the mage followed him, he'd be in for a sur- oh hell. The fire did not reach him, but the shockwave did, catching just as he managed to stop. Up he went, his little body sailing backward through the air. The Shadowmancer's spell raked across his body as he flew past, sudden, intense pain shooting through his body. He went rigid, mouth open in a soundless scream, energy trailing behind him. He hit the floor hard, unprepared for the landing, and rolled to a stop. Ow. Blasted dark spells, blasted traps. He sat up quickly. Too quickly. His head was throbbing and the arena was spinning, and he'd just made things worse. This was bad. The Shadowmancer would have time, now, to prepare a more dangerous spell, and the rest of the arena was turning dangerous. He closed his left eye, filtering everything through his right. So very useful this eye of his. Everything was revealed, outlined, visible. Clear, so clear. He had to figure out what to do, and quickly. He had no open wounds, fortunately, just bruises, which would not be a problem. The Shadowmancer might come after him again... but he was wounded, and badly. It would be best if he could simply lose him, redirect his attention, so he could focus his efforts on an unwounded opponent. This battle was a battle of attrition, and from the looks of things, he was in pretty good shape. He stood, his next move clear. He couldn't just run from the man he'd attacked. But he could force him to shield. Up came the spear, the energy gathering at its point. "Let's see if you do better this time around," he muttered, and let fly. No standing around this time, however, best to be moving. And moving he was, both eyes open, now. The trap-layer was sitting out, for... and there was a dome of what looked to be fire. Now that was trouble. No one could heal, but a shield like didn't have to mean healing. "Target found." The spear whipped up, red lightning arcing along its metal surface, point slicing through the air, and came back down, to strike the floor. Lightning roared forward, streaking along the ground to strike Aduro's dome. Rest is for the dead.
