The attack seems particularly irksome to the Shadow Hound however, who howls with pain and rage as one of the blades opens a gaping wound in its side.With the encouragement of Cyr and Sir Exsixten, the tattered skeletal warrior rises to its feet once more, and charges past its comrades to deliver a crushing haymaker that to the solitary thrall, making the dark one's head spin.****In retaliation the eyeless fanatic lashes out viciously with his shortsword, delivering a blow that nearly severs the undead warrior's head from its neck, and quickly dances away. Nevertheless, the skeleton remains in the fight, standing erect with its head dangling crazily off its neck, hanging on by only a single mummefied tendon.The other two thralls swing their blades at Jezebel and Paerlanthas, one managing to cause some minor damage to the dead king's ectoplasmic presence. Both quickly put some distance between themselves and their respective quarries.Hekthesh's voice then hisses from the shadows, "You fight bravely, but when the seals are broken you will beg for death before the horror of the Submerged Eye... if you manage to live that long," he cackles as his strange, razor-edged boomerang sails through the air once more tearing at the fabric of the wraith's being and reducing one of the skeletons to bone fragments.The hound lunges for Sir Exsixten, but its jaws fail to find purchase. Frustrated, the fell creature blinks out of existence for a moment, reappearing on the other side of the canal.Meanwhile the tendrils writhe about in the unnatural dimness of the hound's presence, striking out like whips at Ferris and Sir Exsixten, leaving the mechanical night and the beleaguered shifter with more fresh wounds.[sblock=Enemy Actions]Hekthesh - Dark Arc <a href="http://[url=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2708452/]Dark%20Arc,%20Baying,%20and%20Shadow%27s%20Wrath%20Recharge%20%281d6=5,%201d6=3,%201d6=2%29[/url]" target="_blank">recharged</a>;

Each undead NPC may only perform one of each action type in any given round, however. Available attacks for each NPC are listed under their respective stat lines.Any creature that falls or is pushed into the canal will be immediately pushed 2 squares downstream and take 1d6 damage from being slammed about by the rapidly-moving water. On your turn you may use a move action to attempt to escape the canal by making an Acrobatics or Athletics check vs. DC14 to pull yourself up out of the water. Any character ending their turn in the canal will be pushed 2 squares downstream and take 1d6 damage from being slammed about by the rapidly-moving water. If you enter the current voluntarily, you do not take the initial 1d6 damage, and you may make a DC20 athletics check to resist both the push and damage effects of the current for the duration of your turn. Thus if you succeed the check, you will not suffer the initial or end of turn push and damage effects. If you fail the check, you won't suffer the initial damage effect, but you will be immediately pushed 2 squares downstream, and if you end your turn in the water you will be pushed 2 more squares and take the 1d6 damage.All bright light within 5 squares of the Shadow Hound is reduced to dim light, and dim light is reduced to darkness by its Shroud of Night aura. Character's with normal vision will take the according penalties to attack rolls against enemies within the aura.[/GM][OOC]PCs are up![/OOC]</blockquote>
