Selythin dropped from the air, hacking and smiting the evil wizard, Fib'Karna. The wizard screamed and writhed in pain as the blade found it's mark. The old man continued to blink at an erratic rate.
Alan took a chance while the wizard was toppled to dash over and wrench the crown from the long-bearded magician's head, but not before the remaining alligator-dog snapped, drawing blood. (Attack of opportunity! 4 points damage to Alan!)
Alan, dead queen's estranged progeny felt energy ripple through their body holding the crown. Alan, now glowing, set the crown on top of their curls. Radiant light flickered and pulsed. Magical energy flowed around the young tailor.
Alan/Aloe, princess and true heir to the faerie throne stood revealed in all their inner truth. The magic of the crown showed what the young tailor had truly been the whole time. (I'll let you describe yourself in more detail in your next post, Princess. Also, please check the OOC thread for full details on the magical crown. If/when you get your hands on the sceptre and ring I'll post those there as well.)
The alligator-dog was still hot on princess Aloe's heels. It snapped again but only made a loud noise as it missed, snarling.
The wizard continued to writhe around in the dead queen's torn dress, gripped the ring and rod tighter, screaming: "Never! Never you fools! You'll regret the day you messed with Fib'Karna!"
Suddenly, he vanished from sight, leaving Selythin, Eovin, and Aloe alone with the attacking chaos beast which still glowed with a purple light. The other beast was still outside the bedchamber in the hallway, still affected by Aloe's spell.
(We're still in combat, but the wizard has temporarily vanished! Turn order is still Eovin, Selythin, Aloe, Chaos Beasts, Wizard.)
