Kick Ferin until he becomes very, very dead. If that doesn't work, garstorpit him again!
"Voo! I am a veezard supreme!"
"Argh... We got him big guy... We got him. I don't know if I'll make it through this, but maybe someone else here will back me up. See if you can get yourself a bandage from that pile of cloth over there. As for you, Mr. Garth..." Ferin grins like a lunatic, and coughs up blood "We're going to be the very best of friends in hell. That's right, I'm bringing you with me! GENERIC WORD OF POWER!"
Defend myself from Garth's kicks using my good arm, and shout my GWP at him. Hope my spell or some nice person kills or incapacitates him before he has time to Garstorpit me.

Garth runs in, humming singing in the rain as he repeatedly kicks the prone form of Ferin. Ferin, blind and crippled, defends himself surprisingly well, blocking kicks with his good arm as he rolls over to face his attacker.

Garth, failing to kick the crippled man to death, looks down at his fallen foe and shouts his magic word. The air darkens into a noxious green mist shot through with branching blackness. When the poison mist clears Ferin is laying still, unconscious but not quite dead.
"With extra creamer and-what the fuck?! Where...
Observe my surroundings. Try to figure out what's going on. Take note of anything that stands out
Hm, lets see here. There is a man kicking another man to death and another bleeding to death in a stairwell to the west. Oh, and a sword on the ground and a magic tome in your hands.
You have the distinct feeling that murder is going to happen. Either you murdering someone or someone murdering you or perhaps you running from murder. All good options.
walk up to john until a few feet
"fair well, GWP"
(John - that is, me - is two floors above you.)
John looks around. Rickety bridges, high up, not much else going on. "Was there any point in coming up here?" he asks Kin, looking at the lack of interesting features.
If scapheap's character makes it up to me, jab my golden arm at him while shouting WORD(S). If not, and I can see Doodles, slash my golden arm at him while saying DIFFERENT WORD(S). If neither of those, tap my gold arm with my good hand while saying OTHER WORD(S).
Edit: Ahaha the thread is named after me. My failures are incredible!
[pot:5-1]
You go for the red words since Doodles is hidden in a stairwell and No one is charging across the bridge at you. You speak the words and the air in the palm of your hand shimmers slightly but nothing happens.
(John - that is, me - is two floors above you.)
move to within a few feet of and aim at (rolls dices) Doodles? same one liner.
You jog to the stairwell, bypassing Garth and Ferin, and come upon Doodles, near death. You take a deep breath and say your chosen word.

You grimace as small patches of obsidian appear on your body, clinging to your skin like scabs before falling off and leaving raw sores in their wake. Ow.
"Twofold, second best overview over the place, and a good spot to defend from." The second best because Kin couldn't see directly under the middle platform and because there were a higher place with surely better view. And defending was easy because he had four different ways to retreat from. Also, cutting the bridges could be an option. He said nothing about the fact that they pretty much were sitting ducks while standing on the middle platform if there were someone higher up.
"By the way, Goldarm. Did you see what just happened down there. One died and soon after another appeared. Maybe there is something to what you said. Let me try something." Kin walks back to one of the bridges that let him see better down. He points to one of the people and yells "Kelio Roth".
Yes, I am a coward. I'm not proud of it but that is how I am. If I see a chance, I'll take it. Today it's someone half dead, tomorrow maybe my best friend? Who knows.
You walk onto the west bridge and get the best view of Ferin you can before pointing down at him and yelling "KELIO ROTH!"
[pot:6]
The air shimmers for a moment, becomes almost gelatinous and then rockets straight up into the sky, vanishing as it does. Uh..
"This... This is awful! We all know a spell that turns the very air to poisonous death! We just jumped from the Iron age to biochemical warfare in a matter of seconds! One misplaced word and this place just got far more dangerous. Best keep the wolves at bay if I can, keep from letting anyone know I'm up here. I don't think anyone saw me run up, too busy casting spells or running with very sharp knives." ((Yes, that last bit is a RP friendly way of saying >>run Hermit.exe ))
Stay on my throne, keep a wary eye on the stairwells in case anyone crawls up out of them. I should continue my studies... Look down to the floor and focus on channeling the effect on the floor ahead of me, Generic Word of Power.
((I'm just gonna study for a while. If anyone wants cloth, I can do that. If anyone wants healing, I'm working on it. Trust me, you guys will be the first to know. The explosions of magical light from above aren't exactly inconspicuous. But fighting will be set to a defense only thing for now. On the other hand, should I find a way to trap magic in a rune, I'll probably be layering the third floor in them, but if fire, brimstone, and clouds of raw power can't stop the mail, keep on chugging, the sorcerer is just a few hundred meters ahead. Past the perpetual blizzard, the minefield, the comatose dragon, the plane of flowers, and perhaps a three week old snickerdoodle. I might have forgotten where I left that one.))
[pot:1+1]
Nothing seems to happen.
...
Be unconscious.
Try not to die.
Nope.
Doodles, grinning with the knowledge that the man who killed him died by his hands, dies on the stairwell, crumbling into ash and taking his power with him.
Thrakor blinks into being beside Joe. He looks around vacantly.
