[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 5030243, member: 46559"] [U][B]Round 5[/B][/U] Sarenax's illusory displacement vanishes in the prowler's jaws, and the cleric reappears, unharmed, an armspan from his previous position. His jagged scythe flashes with red as he whirls on the naga, slicing deeply into its withered body. Power flares, and radiant energy bursts through rents in the leathery hide, burning the undead monster. The power of the Raven Queen answers Sarenax' call, filling himself and Batin with renewed energy. Emboldened, Sarenax calls again, commanding the naga to cease its unlife, but it resists his command. Kalas shrugs off he primary effect of the poison, but his mind remains clouded. He pulls himself together long enough to activate his trollskin armor, which starts to slowly knit his wounds. Batin is eager to rejoin the fight, but his body has not been able to shake off the chill of Uganon's curse, earlier. With a great effort of will, he does so now. Bha-Ka-Thet moves like a whirlwind, landing a flurry of punishing blows on Uganon and the naga. The radiant light from his fists fells the undead snake, which topples in a pile of ash. Kylek surveys the field, and, spotting Uganon surrounded by allies, Kylek blasts him with magical frost. Massacre follows up with another blast of cold, a cloud that saps strength from Uganon. He circles closer to the ground, Lucy's wings sending ripples through the ashes of the fallen naga. Uganon, still locked in place by Massacre's injunction, turns and speaks a word of power. Time and space twist, and suddenly Batin appears in his place, fresh black lesions marring his skin.
