Similar to a prowl, the Anchorite of Talos points a clawed gauntlet directly ahead. He's aligning his sights as he takes a wide berth from the rear. Arching his back, he lets out a loud roar and brings his claws together with a thunderous bang. A lightning bolt mercilessly rips down one side of the battle field in a 100ft line, through 'friend' and foe alike. The powerful element cuts through three orcs to get to Nova, Hal and KD.
Action: Lightning Bolt Dex ST vs DC12 for half lightning damage: 21
(Typo correction! DC ST is 12not 13and not because that's what Nova rolled >.< But as per Anchorite of Talos sheet.)
Nova's eyes widen as a flash of powerful light streaks through the battle field, lighting up the on onslaught of orcs coming her way. She knows she barely has any time to react. The scent of burnt orc flesh hits her nose just as she side steps the core of the blast. However, it moves her right into the path of an orcs incoming blade.
Fae's eyes ink over a glossy black, her powers of divinity trigger as she glimpses the future. The deadly attacks against her companions reflect in her eyes. She makes a calculated decision in a split moment. Tilting her crystal on her necklace, it catches the sun, reflecting into the greataced orc's eye. He swings wide. However, both javelins meant for them find their mark, striking them in the shoulders. The orcs continue to close the gaps.

KD and Hal take the bolt directly in their faces, and Hal nearl crumples. He stands up and spends his action to repair fried gizmos for 16 hp.
As a reaction, KD steels herself to absorb elements and, if there is an enemy within melee reach of the tree she's started to climb, she stabs them with her rapier.

She smacks him so hard, blood, spittle and a tooth are sent flying from his mouth. He hits the ground with a hard thud.
