[Barnaby lets out a cry of agony as he feels the root corkscrew through him; he'd expected his armour would be strong enough to protect him, but it evidently meant little to it. He's in so much pain he can barely register Emet-Selch's arrival, nor anything he says, and when the roots release him and drop him to the ground, it's only his Hundred Power, what little time he has left, that keeps him alive.
He flips up his visor and coughs up blood, using the last of his dwindling strength to crawl forwards and close his hand around Rosaria's fallen Shard. At least he'd delayed the monster long enough for help to arrive... He didn't want to think about what could have happened to her if he'd abandoned her.]
