*Leesea stabs the creature's mind again, desperately trying to get Phaern free. Inside of the bat-thing, Phaern isn't idle, and tries to work his lightning blade further into the creature's body. Darthallys goes forward to try to help with pulling the creature off, and gets buffeted in the head for his troubles.*
*Atlas pulls back and invokes the bracers to close his own wounds, while Wil's bat takes another bite out of the creature. This time, the creature seems to have had enough, and releases Phaern and soars back into the shifting blue ceiling. Kelthet throws a mudball after it, but it moves too unpredictably, and falls short. Indacalis feels the power of the green flow up strongly through his feet and into Phaern, closing the faen's wounds, as exhaustion settles into him from the phantom pain.*
[OOC - Leesea hits it for 4 points of subdual. Phaern deals 6 points of damage to it. Darthallys takes 10 points of damage. Atlas heals himself 6 points of damage. Dire bat hits a 24 for 5 points of damage. Wil holds action. Bat thing releases Phaern and retreats. Kelthet misses bat-thing. Phaern is healed of 24 points of damage (if he needs that much, if not, Indacalis takes half of what Phaern needed to get to max)]
