“After everything we’ve been through, you leave me standing at the door?” Ruarc joked with Jane. While he didn’t particularly feel any one way about Eryl at the moment, he didn’t feel like including her just yet. On the serious matter of the cultists about to bust into the room, Ruarc had already been digging for a rune that would fit Jane’s request.
“Lightning, got it. Just wait a couple beats before rushing,” Ruarc called over as he pulled out a rune; etched onto a hefty looking half circle of metal. Flinging the coin like a discus it came to rest in front of the door. In his other hand he held another half circular rune. A trick he picked up recently. Much like the principal behind his tracking runes, Ruarc could create a rune and then split it. When done properly it would create fascinating effects. This particular implement had one half that behaved as a standard rune would, while the other half acted as an activator. Before if he wanted to try something like this he would have needed to time the release, and simply hope that his timing lined up. With this new rune however, Ruarc could channel will into the rune in his hand safely from behind cover precisely when the door burst.
This particular flavor of rune: Lightning and Force
Ruarc didn’t yet have a handle on directing forces via runes, so this would create an electrified shockwave. Part would come back towards the trio a short ways, hence requesting that Jane wait a moment, while the cultists out on the other side of the door would be briefly stunned and knocked around. Hopefully that would give Jane the advantage as she sallied forth once more unto the breach, and himself as well as he fully intended to be right on her heel.
