[QUOTE="seasong, post: 562132, member: 5137"] Sorry the combat is taking so long. This is the last post of this combat. [color=orange][b]Broken Temple[/b][/color] The plan was, in fact, pretty cunning. Hell hunters slide through shadows as naturally as breathing, and it fully intended to step beneath the dais and then sneak behind the heroes, while it called more of the large spiders to its aid. One or two more combat spells, and it was fairly certain of its victory. But, as the young heroes had already learned, no plan survives contact with the enemy, and Greppa was sick and tired of spiders. And shadows. And non-burning webs. And everything else to do with the Hhsethmah and his bloated children. He called sunlight down inside the temple, just as the hell hunter was attempting to escape. He called sunglight down outside the temple, just in case. Greppa called down Allas' presence, and it shone with divine intensity through most of the nearby cavern, as Uripedas' claws tore into the spider's topside, and Athan's spear pierced its underbelly. The fight was fierce, silent, bloody. The kids weren't kids anymore, not really. They were seasoned warriors, working in unison. Between Merideth's vicious green lightning, Athan's spearwork, and Greppa's sunhawk and minor fire elementals, the spider did injury, but took more. In the end, it stopped twitching, and in deference, the heroes stopped stabbing the corpse. And then, light began to fill the cavern. Glass globes began to heal faster, cracks in the walls began to seal. It happened before their eyes - the shrine became a [i]shrine[/i] again, and the mountain spiders, a sea of them, began crawling over each other in a wave as they left the cavern for the natural world outside. When the hell hunter began to burn on its own, igniting and turning into a charcoal husk, it just seemed natural. [i]Next: The heroes of Light Against The Dark search for the Stone, and do some things in Theralis, as orcs mass for war.[/i] [/QUOTE]
