((Ah, I see. Also that's great news, I thought I was gonna have to amputate at the hip...))
Try to peek down hole.
You can't see anything past the strange golden magic circle covering the hole. It's not that the circle itself is stopping you from seeing whats in there, it just doesn't look like there's anything beyond it: it's just a black void.
I had a what?
Try to activate mark thingy?
Your left arm turns into a swirling mass of pure arcane energy. The bleeding stops as well. Helpful.
Plan deux!
Get in range of Some Nut and Steve, point magic blood staff at Some Nut, and force Some Nut to bleed profusely from the eyes in an attempt to blind Steve and get him off Some Nut.
Afterwards, steal the kill by stopping Some Nut's heart.
finish killing him, if thetes a rock handy let go of his neck with one hand and bash his head in with it.
Well I think I am dead. Powerful people attacking me. Might as well go out with a bang. Zentol Garstopit!

[steve str:6]
[some end:3]
Steve just keeps smashing and strangling and kneeing and flailing, screaming with blood lust until finally the flesh he's beating crumbles into ash.
[Some Nut has died. Steve gains a point]
Tamara just kind of stands around, her plans ruined and her heart broken.
"Gah! What happened?"
Realize that I am on a hovering hockey puck and that there is some people right under it. But before I do something rash I'm going to stop the potential weapon thing from paper cutting me to death. Either "Prathel" or "Zentol" should give me water. The other one will give me the darkness. Say "Prathel" and hope that it will drench the paper enough so I can grab the bloody thing. If it is the darkness say "Zentol" and then grab it.
[pot:4-1]
About a bucket's worth of water slashes on the weapon and pretty much dissolves the paper aura around it. The revealed weapon is a great silver ax in the shape of a bat's wing that seems to glow and crackle with arcane power. You ignore that fact and run right over and grab it. The instant you get hold of it spikes of arcane energy stab up through your hand, piercing it dozen times, tearing it apart.
[end:5-1]
"OH GODOH MOTHERFUCKER OH WHAT THE FLIPPING GUTTER SNIPPITS!"
You hold whats left of your hand and scream like a person who is holding the blood spurting remains of their own hand.
Well, let's think. He's got 40 points to spread around, but we can intuit some of them. We can assume he is minmaxed and has no stats not divisible by three. Since he has +3 to will and pot and +2 to dex, we can assume he has 9 in the former two and 6 in the latter.
Strength: ?
Endurance: ?
Dexterity: 6
Potency: 9
Will: 9
Channeling: ?
That's 24 points right there, with 16 to spend. If I had to guess, I'd say he has 3 str and 6 end, with the remaining 7 in channelling. Saying that he's spent zero pool yet is scary, of course, but we can assume he had some stored tricks up his huge sleeves.
I say let's test out his str stat.
"Oh lookee you, all stone-chucky and stuff. Compensating for something?"
ATTACK THAT IDIOT YOU SUMBITCH ELECTRIC DEATHCLOUD. Will that while charging him and attempting to whack him with the tazer end of my staff.

[Null will:6+3]
The center platform shutters as cracks begin tearing their way through it and small chunks start breaking off and hurling themselves at you.
[dex:5+2]
[end:1+1]
You catch one of the stones to your left arm and the bone snaps like a twig and your flesh instantly goes red from the shattered muscle and blood vessels beneath. You stumble, spun by the blow, and make a run for the stairs.
[dex:2+2]
[end:4+1]
Another stone catches you in the ribs and glances off, drawing blood and a nasty bruise. You keep running.
[dex:6+2]
The last stone clips your leg, scraping your knee as you leap into the stairwell and hide inside it. From the cover of the stairs you try and command your Electric buddy to attack.
[will:4+1]
The electric beastie suddenly seems to understand you and immediately charges toward null.
[null will:4+3]
[electro str:1]
As it charges Null looks over his shoulder at it and you could swear you see light coming out from under his head wrapping. The living electric thing is suddenly plucked up into the air as though by an invisible hand and hurled across the arena and into the second story wall. It hits the wall and lands, seemingly unhurt.
