Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 775148" data-attributes="member: 1210">Attack on Ahhl'AhhhThe party appears in another howling cavern, a bitter cold wind tearing through it fiercely.  They are just starting to look around for their foe when a terrible burst of dehydration wilts them all.  They're all wounded badly, except for Zeebo, who shrivels up like a raisin and falls over dead. "Hold on!" Lester tries to shout over the wind, attempting to use his affinity with the elements to persuade the elemental... but to no avail.  Perhaps its mind it too strong; perhaps it can't hear him over the screaming winds.  Instead of listening to Lester, Ahhl'Ahhh suddenly crackles with an aura of black, evil energy.  Lester gives up on talking and swings Felix Optima Maxima.  She has a far strike spell on her; even though he's 20' away from Ahhl'Ahhh, his blade strikes the elemental creature!  But as he does so, the aura flares and he staggers as he feels it try to do something to him.  Thrush rushes in at Ahhl'Ahhh, and they trade blows; it seems that the Bile Lords' former servant gets the better of the exchange, but not by much.  Angelfire tumbles in and slashes with the Hissing Blade; Sheva and Horbin move in as well.  Orbius tries to tumble in, but fails in a spectacular manner that gives Ahhl'Ahhh the chance to smack him soundly across the top of his head.  Stumbling away, Orbius manages to shoot off a volley of seeker missiles, but Ahhl'Ahhh dodges them all.Horbin steps in, his hand glowing golden where he's prepared an inflict critical wounds.  He touches Ahhl'Ahhh's windy form- he's only able to even see it because of the dark aura around it- and there's a scream from the air prince.  On the other side of the weakened Ahhl'Ahhh, Sybele steps in and trades blows with it.  It's completely surrounded now, and her blow is the final one that defeats it.  The aura- and the gaseous body it surrounds- disperses like a fog in strong sunlight.  "That was for Zeebo!" Sybele cries, though none can hear her above the howl of the winds.  The party almost panics when they can't find Zeebo's body, but then the trusty locate object spell comes into play again.  This time the body's only a few dozen yards away.  They stick it in one side of Lester's box of many holdings and prepare to teleport back to Polsoon.And a beautiful figure appears.She looks like an angel- and her beauty is achingly powerful.  She speaks in the entire party's minds, and her voice is sweet and persuasive.I can help you, friends, she sends to them.  I can offer you the true resurrection of your friend."What will this cost us?" shouts the L.Merely a trifle.  Either of two things: the sword Chronovestis... or the sword Felix Optima Maxima."Oh man," says Lester.  Next Time:  Will the party deal with the mysterious woman?  Will they surrender one of their weapons, and if so, which one??</blockquote>
