Round 197

Jeane’s arcane power flares, the runes across the clock face bleeding light that pulses in sync with the maddening spin of its gears. The creature lunges forward with unnatural speed, closing the distance with terrifying haste while behind it, the clock face erupts into a sickly blue luminescence that pulses in time with the maddening spin of its gears. The ground beneath them heaves once, then twice—no mere tremor but the deliberate, purposeful motion of something ancient and angry beginning to move. The creature’s eyes glint with malice as it advances, multiple orbs reflecting the pulsing blue light that now fills the chamber.
