[QUOTE="Medriev, post: 4535644, member: 21864"] [b]Chapter 22 - The Last Enemy (Part 2)[/b] At the other end of the chamber, Enlishia darted forward and loosed an arrow into the wight that drove through its throat. The wight lashed out at Erlmoor with a claw but the paladin ducked under the blow and then drove his blade into the belly of the creature. It burst into dust and bones and collapsed on the dais between the two statues. Erlmoor turned away and rushed to join his companions. Lavren rushed towards the western stairs, leveling his wand and uttering a curse at the skeleton that Telkya fought as he went. With a word, he loosed black, crackling energy at the skeleton and blasted it apart in a shower of bones and shards. Litiraan came up beside the warlock and loosed his own blue bolt towards the other skeleton but the magic missile flew high and wide and seared into the stone wall above the dais. Kalarel’s rod struck Dulvarna again and sent her reeling down the first few steps. She shook her head to clear the dizziness and was not surprised to see the priest leering over her. “I had expected so much more,” Kalarel said. “From all of you.” He raised his voice as he said the last so that all in the wide chamber might here. “You cannot stop me. No one can.” “I beg to differ,” said Telkya from his left and as she brandished her holy symbol, a searing light burst forth from it and burned the skin of the dark priest. He began to laugh and waved his hand once more. The remaining skeleton rushed at Dulvarna and the warrior woman was forced to turn away down the stairs. Enlishia rushed to the bottom of the western stairs and loosed an arrow that drove into the base of the spine of the remaining skeleton. A black bolt from Lavren’s wand seared over the creature’s head and then a silver bolt struck the skeleton, driving it to its knees on the steps. Dulvarna spun on the spot, trying to behead the skeleton but as it sank to its knees, she missed and Kalarel took his chance. The priest raised his rod and then brought it down fiercely on the back of the warrior woman’s head. In a shower of blood, Dulvarna tumbled forward down the steps.
