Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 827501" data-attributes="member: 1210">One for the Good GuysAxel and Axon both turn their heads to look at Sheva, who's approaching them- and Chemnu- grimly, Chronovestis in her hands.  She tumbles forward, trying to evade the two nimblewrights' attacks of opportunity, but Axel slices her despite her best interests.  With a grunt, she ignores him and aims a mighty slash at Chemnu- a blow that hits despite his images, and draws yellowish bile where a human would bleed.  But to her dismay, the wound starts closing immediately and quickly.  Habiskis flies at Chemnu and pokes at him with the unicorn dagger, then just keeps moving past, trying hard not to be the center of anyone's attention.  The nasty yellowish vapors around the Bile Lord have left the stomachs of everyone who has entered them in a state of rebellion. Lionel's angelic sword comes free of its sheath as he flies forward, charging the deathbringer.  His blade rings with a high, clear tone when it deflects off the undead creature's thick armor.  Angelfire and Thrush both step in on it too, though, and both land punishing series of blows on it.  It staggers and drops to one knee, black energy crackling around its wounds, and unleashes another burst of negative energy- again repairing itself and wounding our heroes.  "Enough!" cries Horbin the Holy, and he fires off a searing light at the sewn-faced monster.  The light blasts into its grey face, burning away the entire head, and the cleric brings death to the deathbringer.  Then he fires a flame strike at Chemnu, catching Sheva (since she's in melee with it) but figuring correctly that she'll be okay.  And the entire party rejoices when not only does it penetrate Chemnu's spell resistance but the Bile Lord is caught off-guard and fails to dodge the worst of it, taking full damage!  Still, he seems neither badly wounded nor concerned.Chemnu swipes at Sheva with his long, yellow fingers, clawing her across the cheek and leaving a greenish burning liquid behind.  Sheva cries out in pain as the acid burns her.*  Then Chemnu aims yet another finger of death at Angelfire, who manages to throw off the effect yet again.  Meanwhile the Bile Lord's unbelievable healing factor brings him almost back to full health.Then Axon and Axel are tumbling in past Sheva's defenses, flanking her and delivering terrific damage (including a blow to the vitals that threatens to finish her).  As they do so, Zeebo casts a slow and counters the haste on Axon.  Terribly wounded, Sheva the chain mail bikini-clad red-haired warrior of Coila does the only thing she really can- she timeslips, vanishing into the timestream for a few seconds.  Axon and Axel turn to face the wounded Angelfire, but even as they do so the planetar heals him.  Then a lightning bolt zots out from Zeebo and catches all the bad guys- wounding only Axon.  The weapon master construct staggers.  The Mayor then hastes Lionel."Not too bad," calls Angelfire's cheerily to Axon and Axel.  "The deathbringer's down.  You're next."The two constructs tumble forward.*She also had to make a Fort save, but she was successful... in fact, everyone was successful in their Fort saves in this fight! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Next Time: Angelfire vs. Axon and Axel!</blockquote>
