Way off in the distance, the men can see Kalvin, running, stopping, hacking at a leg, and then running, as the ponderous but unstoppable golem lumbers after him.

As the men finish off Krow's now-lonesome opponent, Cassadar yawns. His blade glides along the woman's throat, and the blood hisses in steam as it hits the obsidian altar top. A beam of light bursts from the altar and hits the descending green, and the ground shakes. As the woman's death throes cease, the temperature rises to well past a hundred, and the sap bubbles and boils and the men all feel faint in their armor. The sap rises and shoots up the beam, and the sky seems tinted red, like a giant maelstrom in the sky above the altar.
When the light clears, the woman is sitting up, glowing blood red and green and blue, and Cassadar takes a few steps back in confusion.

The Crowl just shakes his head at the event and puts his hand on his side where the man was able to crack a rib. "Who the fuck is this now?" He says reaching another arm out and gesturing to the girl.

Oriax took a cautious step towards the woman, unencumbered by armor like his allies. He felt a tinge of fear even, after achieving magic he had not thought himself capable of.
"Meraxes?" he asked, already knowing the answer.

Uhtred fell to the ground, the heat overwhelming him. His lungs felt charred from the heat and he gasped for air. Looking up, he felt so, very, small.

"Ahhh!" Benjen growls, his sword dropping from his grasp as he forced his visor open. "What the hells is going on!?" He shouted.

He looked over at the woman, pausing in the middle of wiping his blade clean. After hearing Oriax, he coughed and wiped the sweat on his head. "You have got to be SHITTING me!"

Cassadar thinks quick, and his sword moves so fast no one see can see it, even as Ser Justin strikes with Heartsbane. The woman waits until the last moment to move, then simply sidesteps Mallister's strike, and casually backhands Cassadar across the area.

The Crowl's eyes widen underneath his helm as the girl sends Cassadar flying, and he takes an involuntary step back. "Well Fuck." is all he manages to say, as he lifts his hands up in a boxing stance getting ready for what ever comes next.

Benjen stares at the... woman, or whatever and flinches when she one-inch punches Cassadar. "What... who are you?" He calls out to her, slowly approaching.

"Your goddess," she replies. "Kneel."

He almost knelt then and was barely able to stop himself. Benjen slowly leaned over and picked up his sword, then squinted his eyes. "My Gods are the Old Ones..." He heard himself say, unaware of how he managed to do so in the face of such power.

Oriax racked his brain, straining to remember from his brief glance at the book on the pedestal how Moraxes had been banished in the first place after the Doom of Valyria. How did one go about killing a deity?
He also briefly wondered if this was happening here, what was happening at the pedestal by the lake?

Galvanized by desperation, confusion, anger, fear, and exhaustion, he charges at the Goddess, leading with his sword and shield held in front of him.

Jason approaches the woman, who regards him in some confusion. She dodges his blow so easily it seems a waste of effort, but in that quarter second of distraction, Ser Justin's slams Heartsbane into her back, and for a second the beam of light shatters. The Valyrian sword bursts into a million shards, and the knight is slain by his own breaking sword, but even as Meraxes looks back at him in confidence, Cassadar kicks the obsidian off the altar, and the beam of light eases entirely. As it does, a rumbling sound can be heard, and a beam from the sky heads east, where a wave like a billion gallons of rushing water can be heard...
