Konka Rar drifted closer to the center of the park. When he was close enough that he felt safe, he began searching the arena with his cybernetic eye. He could not risk drifting near Ekelhaft, and it was worth diverting some of his concentration from the spell to avoid that danger.
A quick scan revealed that Ekelhaft was nowhere nearby - it was much closer to Hoss than to the lich. If he had lungs, Rar would have breathed a sigh of relief. He decided to turn his attention back to directing the storm before he searched for a safe landing spot.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated how far the tornado would drift without his full concentration. As he was preparing himself, the storm drew near the fence, and an electric bolt struck the nearest mound of dirt as it swirled through the storm.
The soil ignited from the shock, and the winds carried it through the tornado, igniting the dust around it. Konka Rar nearly panicked as he saw the flames surrounding him, but knew that would only doom him faster; he devoted his full concentration to staying in one place, unable to see clearly through the smoke.
He would be safe, he reasoned. Soon the flames would reach the ground, and spread throughout the grassy park. That would likely kill one of the others before long, ending the round and freeing Konka Rar from his self-created prison. And as the flames had been created without magic, even Ekelhaft would likely not be safe from them. As long as he could maintain his focus for the rest of the round, this was the safest place to be.
Of course, the chance of Rar maintaining his focus that long was almost nonexistent.

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
