Run, Little Günter, Run

Günter spell

Spell summoning a lederhosen-clad kewpie-orc child who charges the nearest target and explodes on contact.

Story so far

Carl cast Run, Little Günter, Run the instant the room unfroze, dumping most of his mana into it and leaving only enough for a single Healing cast afterward. Little Günter popped into being in front of him, cheerfully introduced himself, and licked his lollipop while rifle blasts flew, until Carl yelled "Get the god" at him.

The design intent was layered with the Waffle Maker: the bomb would blow Khepri down the endless hallway, Günter would survive the blast unhurt, sprint after the deity, and detonate on contact — effectively doubling the attack and pushing the god even further away to buy Carl time. A second, distant explosion during Carl's reassembly suggests it worked.

Role

Carl's mana-intensive follow-up attack, timed to chase a blasted god down a corridor.
