The man sighed a long, long sigh and thought about making the men terrified.

You clearly haven't read the manuscript. It gets much more disturbing.

They hesitated, almost stopping, but continued.

Harsher.

Cole nods solemnly. “The Duke will honor your sacrifice. I’ll do my best to kill you quickly.” Cole looks around for grit to turn into a lethal (but also obscuring) dust storm, and examines the castle for a good place to begin his semi-staged assault. “I assume the Duke has some sort of escape route. It’s smart, and that’s what he does, is it not?” 

"Yes. Behind the throne. He is ready when you are." The man prepares himself for a blow.

Cole takes a dagger and cuts the man’s throat. “Thank you.” And thank you, Freedom. Lifting himself, the man, and a whirlwind of gravel and dirt to obscure them into the air, Cole storms the castle.

No I haven’t  

He thought about making the men tremble and cower before him. He imagined them collapsing, whimpering, struck with nightmares of blood and terror and danger.

Right Haly’s character is fighting a bunch of soldiers, with y’all near them. The Duke is fighting, and Cole is storming the castle with a cloud of dust to limit everyone’s sight. He is going to fake the Duke’s death so that he can please Rage without actually killing the Duke.

The men gasped, falling to the ground. They slowly pick themselves up, shaken.

The Duke immediately unengaged, letting himself get hit by a fireball, falling, and then fleeing stealthily under the cover of the dust, into his emergency exit.

He grinned, then pushed harder, feeding them images of dark cities and the feeling of being hunted by a beast who never slept. Just give up now. It's not worth fighting any longer. 

Then he shot them with his flintlock.

Cole comes in and, shrouded in his cloud of grit, cuts off the guard's head while doing his best to make it unrecognizable. Once he's sure that his ruse won't be discovered, he shouts "I have killed the duke, winning myself and my companions a pardon for the frankly unreasonable charges of being heretics! Stand down!"

The flintlock didn’t do much, but the emotions threw them into chaos, running around. The dust from Cole didn’t help them either, as they ran into each other. 
Shoot the fire in the center of their chest…

Not many heard him in their panic. But one was unaffected. Retlen.

Retlen looked up at his dead father. A flame made its way out of his chest. “You did it. He is dead.” It said. But he was not done. The heretics… he could not pardon them when they participated in such obvious witchcraft. He took a deep breath, and sent a blast of flame at Cole.

 

Freedom spoke, slightly frantically. “He’s not listening. He will kill you, if given the chance. Do not give him the chance, then.”

Cole jumps into the air, throwing things - including the grit cloud - at the ceiling in an attempt to collapse it and reach the sky. "Yes, I noticed. The blast of flame gave it away." Blood is running down his face, though not much of it yet.

He growled. Why is this so hard? 

He pushed more emotions at them— hopelessness, mainly. Lots of hopelessness. Just give up and lay down and be a useless rock. 

He shifted his aim to their chests as the voice directed.

They ones running around crumpled to the ground, despairing on top of their hatred. The shots flickered out their cores, and when those disappeared, their skin started to lacerate, they began to rapidly become less and less nourished. And they shrunk, until finally they snapped out of existence.

Rage must have abandoned them. I know no attack that can do that.

Well, I do, and it’s only possible with a connection to mirth, but eehhhh we don’t need to go into the world pulls just yet.

Why yes!

But it won’t be too effective against Retlen… for reasons.

“Heh. This might not be so bad after all.” He picked them all off. 

Quote

Would the cores going out have killed them regardless, or did rage have to abandon them?

It would have made them susceptible to being killed. U wudda needed to shoot them once more.

Wait leave some for the others

He picked off about half of them.

Retlen sent a blast of flame his way.

Retlen gave a guttural scream, and a wave of flame bathed the room, and a few of those who were about to Snap away were shortly sustained, only to disappear.

Fun fact! Rage can’t abandon them if they have fire with them.

Aela encased Retlen's feet in ice, if only as a distraction since she knew it wouldn't last long.

He panicked and knocked a table over to give him some cover from the fire. Mirth had said he could take some hits, but he didn’t feel inclined to test the limits.

Another soldier, prone on the ground, gave a cry of fear, and a pulse of flame extended from him. Retlen looked down at his feet, snarling. “HERETIC!”

His voice carried unnaturally well, and the dust cleared slightly between the two of them.

@oOklA thE shInyYyy

The table blocked it, but was quickly incinerated.

Your powers will not be nearly as effective against him! He serves Madness, though unknown to him… so she can afford him certain gifts that are beyond our abilities. Not necessarily good gifts, but gifts that help further Madness’ goals.

If you try to change his emotions, it won’t matter. He is incapable of feeling anything but Rage.

Although, maybe you could exploit his dependence on Rage… I’ll have to talk to Intellect…

Aela shuddered and hid behind one of the large doors. Since he hadn't reacted, she made the ice around his legs thicker.

He sent a blast of flame towards his feet. His core had long since gone out… but his strength was still constant.

She could almost tell that Intellect was conversing with another Spirit.
