[QUOTE="Medriev, post: 4538953, member: 21864"] [b]Chapter 22 - The Last Enemy (Part 3)[/b] Litiraan rushed up the steps on the right to flank the reeling priest. He uttered an incantation and called forth flame from his wand that engulfed Kalarel. Erlmoor prayed as he slashed out with his blade and a burst of white light exploded from the weapon as it drove into Kalarel’s shoulder. The dark priest cried out then and knew fear once again. Erlmoor drew his blade back and drove it into his belly, barely piercing the priest’s armour but driving him back and hurting him nonetheless. The priest roared in pain and anger, lashing out with his rod and striking the dragonborn on the side of the head. The paladin twisted left but drew himself back up to his full height despite the coldness around the place where the rod had struck him. He saw Telkya kneel beside Dulvarna and realised that the warrior woman yet lived and would soon rejoin the battle. He smiled, showing his sharp teeth. “Do you yield yet priest?” he asked. “I should ask you the same thing,” Kalarel sneered back though there was less conviction than there had been. Two arrows flew past Kalarel’s head followed by a silver bolt of magical energy and again the priest flinched visibly. Erlmoor darted forward and slashed his sword across the priest’s arm while Dulvarna, having risen to her feet unseen behind the priest, rushed at Kalarel’s back. The priest turned at the last moment but the warrior woman’s blade still drove into the priest’s side. The priest rounded on Dulvarna in anger and lashed out with his rod, striking her hard in the face. As she reeled back, he brought the weapon down hard on the top of her head. Dulvarna crumpled for the second time on the steps that led to the dark altar. Telkya cried out and rushed at the priest only for her sword to be arrogantly swatted aside by the priest’s rod. He began to laugh but as he did so, an arrow zipped past his head. The second shaft drove into his chest and Kalarel staggered. He looked around at his enemies and knew that his end had come. “Curse you all,” he called out. “Curse you all!” A heartbeat later, a black bolt from Lavren’s wand seared through the priest’s chest and pitched him backwards off the side of the steps. He landed with a heavy thump on the floor below and lay there, unmoving. From the portal there was terrible, draconic screech as two claws reached out into the room one last time and then were drawn back.
