[QUOTE="pacdidj, post: 5358681, member: 86793"] *SMASH* The mirror flies apart into a hundred tiny silver slivers and Dhakanmirr stands dumbstruck, peals of thunder echoing in his mind, as his elaborately prepared ritual crashes to a halt. The hissing sound stops suddenly, and you hear an ominous low rumble. [COLOR=DimGray]"Fools!,"[/COLOR] cries Hekthesh, voice full of anguish, [COLOR=DimGray]"You have destroyed all that we worked for, but you shall still face the wrath of the Eye. Look!"[/COLOR] Following the direction Hekthesh points with your gaze you see that the shadows collecting above the well have begun to take shape... a truly terrible shape. Hovering above the well is an apparition of horror and death: a great, floating, blind eye surrounded by decaying flesh, and a hundred pupil-less eyestalks. The phantasm seems to lack weight and substance, even more so than the wraith of King Paerlanthas. Its foothold in this reality is tenuous at best, a mere shadow of a shadow. Even still, you sense that it wields terrible and deadly power. [sblock=Dungeoneering 12]The apparition is a dead beholder, terrible creatures, rarely seen in the Isles, that creep into this world from realms unkown.[/sblock] [sblock=Arcana 14]The apparition before you is only a small part of this terrible undead creature, a fragment of a vestige of its former living horror. [sblock=Arcana 18]Though the shadow is obviously capable of inflicting great harm in this weakened state, its grip on this world is so tenuous that one well-placed strike should be able to banish it entirely back to whatever fell realm it came from.[/sblock][/sblock] The appearance of the ghostly monster proves distraction enough for Hekthesh to break away from Sir Exsixten and launch his boomerang in a wide arc, clipping Ferris' back on its return. While the boomerang flies, the massive phantasm roars in an unearthly voice: [sblock=Primordial][B][COLOR=Black]I will feast on your blood! This world will again taste the fury of the Usurper's chosen![/COLOR][/B][/sblock] The great shadow turns its horrible gaze on Sir Exsixten, causing the mechanical knight's rotors to freeze, rooting his plated boots to the floor. Its smaller eyestalks fire off rays of decay and despair, missing the Cyr, but hitting Alnar dead-on, knocking the sorcerer to the floor, where he remains, lying still and not breathing. The lesser shadows roil around Jezebel dealing her several blows, and wearing down the paladin's formidable endurance. Two of them break away to unleash their burden of noxious vapors, which further corrode Sir Exsixten's already-tarnished finish. Dhakanmirr remains stock still, his mind unwilling to process the enormity of his failure, the two [I]tjurunga [/I]sitting unguarded on the altar.
