The description he made still has me wondering how he said the earth barriers worked, as well as how was he able to explode it and in what way it was damaged. Other than that, I didn't think his swotd had this amount of wind power.
Sicon explained it pretty well, I think, but I still feel like giving my own two bits on an explanation.
Barriers: Not quite sure what you mean here, but I think the answer you want is that he was saying Goliath was making a cage of earth to surround Borogove from all sides, including upwards.
Explode: Evidently, Borogove had some fragments of a broken weapon scattered throughout Goliath's barriers, and he used the Sever command to cut them to bits. According to the character sheet, using Sever causes the weapon fragments to emit energy blades of a certain length and width that cut through nearly anything, as long as that nearly anything is a certain thickness and touching the fragments.
Wind: It didn't, but Borogove had evidently launched himself pretty forcefully into the air. All he needed the wind power to do was balance out the pull of gravity and let the friction of the air slow him down. Remember, he was hovering in the air at the end of his post, not necessarily flying.
So, apparently I'm the sanest madman this side of the international date line. Seems legit.
