Arawn called upon his gift and slammed his fist into the thick ice, shooting his own above the ground. Its effects dispersed, and everyone jumped upon seeing this new layer of ice. Ger managed to scramble up in time after struggling with the ice he was standing on that slowly tipped into the water where the creature dove out from.
