[QUOTE="Myth and Legend, post: 5073014, member: 82679"] Everything happens in an instant - Peth, Kye and Merry are still running further from the White Lady, with blank stares in their eyes as they shake uncontrollably. Meanwhile, Thok's massive blade cuts two more deep scars trough the Banshee's visage, leaving wide gaps as if she were made of torn lace. Jill is still holding on to Tatters, with her gentle childish face twisted in brutal anger, and she seems to be recovering at an impressive rate from the Lady's last attack. The spirit hisses with spite, and removes her hand from her veil, while looking Thok right in the eye. Somehow, the huge Half-Orc feels as if a great danger has passed him. The Lady then proceeds to caress Jill's cheek with her ghostly finger. The child gasps for air as if she is drowning, and releases her grip on the raggedy doll. The little girl collapses on the ground, clenching her chest, as her lips turn blue and her pupils go up in her eyelids, leaving the milky white stare of death in her eyes. The Lady covers her face with her hands and it appears to the Barbarian that she is crying. The spirit then turns her back to the surprised Half-Orc, and sobbing can be heard coming from her as she drifts off to the middle of the river, and the with hideous shriek, the Banshee plunges down as if she were attempting to drown herself in the violent waters below. A splash can be heard as Tatters falls in the river and drifts down with the currents, and the Lady is nowhere to be seen. A few seconds later, Kye and Merry come to their senses, and half a minute later Peth also breaks trough the violent illusion gripping his mind. Everyone now realities what had happened, and Jill is still lying on the ground, motionless. [sblock]Thok has dealt an impressive 86 total damage to the Lady. She in turn, attacked Jill once more and [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2389537/"]dealt 7 damage[/URL] to her. Jill is now lying on the ground.
