Xylos
Hold! Seal it with me, or we all go down.
The Gatekeeper claws at the pulsing node, one hand slipping on dust-slick stone as the bridge shudders under their weight.
Nogandar
The node is failing fast.
Nogandar reaches for the fractured seam. Violet light crawls over the stone, forcing the crack to narrow for a heartbeat.
Xylos
Yes, there. Keep it pinned.
The bridge answers with a sickening groan. A slab shears loose beneath The Gatekeeper, and the node swings wildly between them and the rift.
For one brutal instant, Nogandar can either steady the falling node or let the abyss take the Gatekeeper with it.

“I cast a temporary extended regeneration on my wings for several turns”
SUCCESS (Legendary Arcana, rolled -1)
Nogandar drives arcana through the ragged ruin of his wings. Pale fire threads the torn membranes, knitting pain into motion.
The damaged wings twitch, then brace against the bridge wind, fuller and steadier than before.
Xylos
Good. Now help me keep it from breaking!
A fresh tremor splits the stone. The falling slab yanks the node sideways, and the seam flashes brighter.
Nogandar throws the newly awakened wings wide, using them as a living brace against the shock, while the bridge groans around him.
Xylos
If he can hold that much, the fracture may still be sealed.
Below them, the white-violet rift pulses harder, and the narrowing seam strains against the pressure, begging for one more act of force.
