It hisses at Rockhorn and pulls on the door, which dislodges the staff from its precarious place in the door handles. It reaches out for the staff and tries to grab ahold of it."My staff, return it to me as once!" It growls at Rockhorn."Be still, Vanitor!" Kellam orders in his own voice. "I'm sure the dwarf will be glad to return your weapon as part of this exchange."Rockhorn watches as the massive Eon-Scarred creature lumbers down the corridor. The unnatural glow radiating off of Kellam from behind the creature becomes more pronounced. The creature stops 30 feet away from double doors. It glares as Rockhorn and tries to pinpoint the skylance's place on the floor near the Beast Heart Adept. Then, Kellam (whose form is shifting with magic) steps around the creature with Viscardi held firmly by his mop of hair. The man looks to be on death's door. The magical spells placed on him before he entered the Labyrinth with the other Loyalists is likely the only thing keeping Viscardi alive.Kellam shouts out. "Siani, go help your commander deal with this thing that dares attack us. Themba, bring this "warrior" to me. We shall see who he is and what his worth is to the Loremaster and his friends."Rockhorn hears a woman's voice shout out from behind Phelix's Son, "Yes, leader!" Then, he sees a man step out of the shadows 10 feet behind Khagron.The man is dressed in the armour of a Loyalist; his movements are stealthy and subtle. "As the Master wills, Kellam of the Black." He quickly moves out of sight behind the Eon-Scarred beast to help his fellow soldier help the man named Kefax.[OOC]Are you having Akos (along with Maggs) move closer to the entrance/exit of the Labyrinth? Is Akos now standing behind Rockhorn, or has he stayed farther back? Right now, Akos and Maggs are 15 feet behind Rockhorn who is right in front of the double doors, which are ajar but still partially shut on Rockhorn's side.The wight and vampire are on the other side of the double doors. Akos can clearly see the wight, but he doesn't have line of sight to Khagron. Viscardi now stands 20 feet behind the wight and Kellam is standing next to him. Akos can see Viscardi and Phelix's Son behind the terrified man. He cannot see Kellam from his current position.BTW, I was trying something different with my replies, writing you, instead of the characters' names, but was getting confusing for me when replying to two of you at once. I'm going back to the way I've always done it. It's simpler for me.[/OOC]Akos looks at the creature once it is close enough to see clearly. Its form appears to shimmer or flicker in the sickly greenish light emanating from Kellam, who the Loremaster cannot see. The man is obviously there, but the green light is shifting, which causes wild shadows to partially obscure Viscardi and Phelix's Son.Rockhorn's warning is well founded. This isn't a simple summoned pseudonatural creature. This is something much worst: an Eon-Scarred creature that was likely brought directly from the Unseen Abyss. Either that, or, Phelix is much more than an Alienist. In order to summon an Eon-Scarred requires a different... magical focus. What were they called again? Architects. Yes, that's the right training. It make sense. It would allow him to know how to summon such as creature, if this Phelix's Son is indeed summoned and not gated.Akos notes the creature's shimmer. It is Abyssal Static. It connects this Son directly to the Unseen Abyss. If it shifts to its true form, it will be nearly impossible to kill. Akos' magic and weapon isn't strong enough to face this creature alongside the others, even with Tim's great strength. The Son would likely tear them apart one by one. And, its static would prevent them from hitting it.Akos has no luck connecting the creature's existence to any recent history, but the Loremaster quickly makes a connection between the word "Eon" and the ancient name for The Etheral One that he and Vinny discovered in the High Sanctuary, Eion. Eon might be a corruption of that ancient name.Kellam waits for both the arrival of the unknown warrior, if he survives, and for Rockhorn's response to the wight's demand for the quarterstaff to be returned.[SPOILER="For Neurotic Only"]Phelix's Son's Abyssal Static, in its true form, gives it Total Concealment (50% miss chance) and a Morale-Draining Aura that imposes a -1 penalty on attack rolls for all nearby enemies. The creature also has Eonic Resilience, which gives it significant SR (& PR) and DR vs. Magic and Epic.The creature wouldn't be able to be raised as undead by the eye rays of the Soul Stolen.[/SPOILER]</blockquote>
