Aeron cast a wieldskill spell upon himself, dramatically improving his ability to spot the foes, and was rewarded with a brief glimpse of a massive dark form gesturing at him, before it blinked back into invisibility. Seconds later, Aeron was surrounded by another thick cloud of green/yellow mist, which burned at his lungs as he tried to leave it..oOo.Stedd, dashing from place to place to try to spot the spellcaster turned, and ran across the courtyard. Or at least tried to. "Ooof!"He had smashed into some massive, hard form, which he could feel towering above him. He punched out, and definitely connected, but there was no sound from the thing he had punched.Seeing Stedd lashing out at something, others ran in towards the combat. Yvgeny, Miles and Jason all ran towards the foe, slashing, pummelling and smashing at the invisible enemy, which suddenly appeared to them all as a huge dark form, eyes glowing strangely in the darkness as it lashed out at Miles again and again with terrible claws.Many of the blows missed, but the group was taken over with fear of the thing, and Jason's terror was strongest off all. In his fear, some of his blows began to go astray.Miles sheathed Scourge, and slashed away at the creature with Slayer, whose specially enchanted blade cut through any flesh. Yvgeny's bracers had a similar effect, allowing his titanic punches to damage the creature.Jason's Maul of the Titans was simply too strong for it, and a few huge hammer blows bashed into the undead abomination's chest.Stedd was not so lucky. Bashing vainly at the hips and legs of the creature, his strong fists smashed into flesh again and again. They didn't leave a mark.The Nightwalker began to step back from the magically enhanced onslaught of the group. When Aeron joined in, with his Mace of Disruption, the creature turned to try to flee over a wall.Mace and Sword lashed out, and the huge undead tottered, then fell through the wall, unmoving.Gleeful, the Crusaders bashed, pummelled, sliced and hacked at the form, until it was totally unrecogniseable..oOo.Having looted the shell of the old building, they retreated to a nearby structure, and made camp, sheltering under the partial roof to avoid any chance discovery. It worked. They rested for their first night in Maermydra unharmed.</blockquote>
