Zieggrek watches the Matron as she pounds away at the sepulcher, his attitude towards her shifting with every minute that passes and attempting to keep a sneer at her pitiful efforts off of his face. This undead creature can't be Matron Alisannara Morcane. Matron Morcane would have had a plan to deal with this... Perhaps Durdyn was wrong about her idenity...

ooc: There's no line of sight between Dorina's room and the coffin. The Matron told you to leave the room with the coffin, so if you did not disobey her orders you can't see her at work. (and I imagine the Blade Barrier is pretty noisy).
She wouldn't act in such an undignified way if anyone was watching ;).

It was my assumption that Quertus, Dariel, and Zieggrek came back in the room after the Blade Barrier popped up. To see if they still had a Matron.

After watching the Matron pound away on the coffin for six or seven minutes, they watched her constant blows crack the stone lid in half.

With a look of triumph on her face, the Matron attempted to lift the top of the lid away.

The Matron failed; she was still unable to remove the lid. Even broken in half, it seemed solidly secure to the coffin, as if the lid and the coffin were one solid piece and the lid was never intended to be removed.
 


Kilcif: Bugbear/Male (Barbarian/Ranger/Rogue)

Kilcif nods to Carcelon hoping to appease her, The same could be said for that rapier and if Kiernan truly wants his shield back I’m more than willing to throw it into the river for him to retrieve.
 

With a look of intense fury, Matron Ki'Willis continues to pound upon the stone sepulcher, eventually driving a second great crack through the surface of the coffin.

She then has enough room to drive a makeshift stake deep into the stone fissure into Dorina's undead body.

The battle for Szith Morcane is over.
 

ooc: I'm taking a few liberties in the name of convenience and pace.

When the Blade Barrier falls silent and winks out of existance Ki'Willis summons her servants to her side. Soon the lid is off the sarcophagus and Dorina's body is dumped unceremoniously on the floor. While the others search and loot the coffin Ki'Willis sends out a signal for Kilcif trough the telepathic bond of her Domination. He is to return down to the river and fetch Kripp to her.

Word is sent to the Arcane Tower and the Barracks that Dorina has been defeated and the the Matron of House Millithor and House Morcane once again rules Szith Morcane. She will meet with Solon and the guard's commanding officer tomorrow (at different times). The guards will be pardoned if they reswear their allegiance to her.

Dorina's body is carried to the entrance platform of the Noble level where the Matron orders that the corpse shall be dismembered. Then she sends her weary servants to rest, except for the two other priestesses of Lolth (and the fiends who do not need rest). Flanked by her daughters Carcelon and Tierak she then leads a long prayer and sacrifice designed to consign Dorina's soul to eternal torment at the hands of Lolth. The bodyparts of the accursed vampire are slowly burned to ashes in three large braziers and at last she throws Dorina's heart, with an ordinary stake piercing it, into the flames at the climax of the unholy ceremony.
"One time damned for leaving Lolth. Two times damned as Kiaransalee's whore. Three times damned by your final defeat. I consign you to the flames and to the claws of Lolth. Suffer, and know that there is no hope."
The ashes are dumped into the river where they are washed away into the abyss.
"It is done."
 

When the Matron begins preparing to sacrifice Dorina;
"Mother, we have a perfectly good sacrificial altar upstairs. It seems to me that it would be most fitting to use it."

"Under normal circumstances yes, but that altar is currently suffused with negative energy which would interfere with the sacrifice of an undead being.
We must also take into consideration that Dorina's destruction must be utter and irreversible, and I will not pollute the temple with her burning flesh. This location is the most convenient one. It was here that she faced her final defeat and this is as suitable a location as any."
