Trista takes an armoured elbow to the face as she grapples Caranthir, but manages to get the staff out of his hands. She struggles with him, managing to hold on but not wrestle him to the ground.
Caranthir's resistance to magic is strong, especially to spells he knows well, but as Abigail and the purple haired sorceress realise what Ard's doing and join in, he manages to break through the navigator's mental defences, making Caranthir's movements more sluggish and less powerful.
Looking at his foe and wiping blood from his nose, Varrin realises he won't get a better opportunity to attack without risking a hit in return.
@asddas193 From the spot where Caranthir struck his staff against the floor earlier, ice and frost begin to emanate outwards, as the temperature rapidly goes down. Ard has a natural resistance to such spells, and Trista is protected from low temperatures by her quen sign, but for everyone else in the group, the chill begins to take effect. It's not hampering their mobility yet, but at this rate they may only have a few minutes before they freeze, unless they can neutralise Caranthir.
