The flesh on their hands has melted away, leaving nothing more than skeletal claws. The guards strike their foes with these unnatural weapons, forgoing the use of the longswords and bows that they still carry.One guard slashes Beatrice and leaves a festering wound on her skin. In response, she slams her bastard sword down onto its shoulder, forcing it to the ground in a heap. Jarel-karn is also hit by one of the guards, though he cannot find the opportunity to make a counterattack just yet.As Beatrice trades blows with the guard, the Avatar of Ravens cackles maniacally, reveling in the carnage. "Haaahahaha! The new gods are but mewling infants before us. We have existed from when the world was an endless void! The Raven Council is TERROR; we are MADNESS. We are SUFFERING given form! The mortals have forgotten us for much too long, but now we shall remind them. Perhaps we will let only you live - after we break your mind and reform your body, you shall be the herald of our return!"The words of the Avatar - of the old gods - are powerful enough to drive fear into the minds of the heroes. Eithal, Scarm, Damen, and even Beatrice's dog find themselves shaking as they contemplate the horrors that the Avatar might inflict on them. Only Beatrice and Jarel-karn, perhaps because they are too distracted fighting the guards to listen, are unaffected.After her little speech, the Avatar raises the plagued longsword and points it at Eithal. With a tremendous whoosh, half the room explodes under a torrent of solidified shadows that wrap themselves around the heroes and tear at their spirits.[sblock=actions]Rerisen 1: Walks to M4.
