I’m a bit worried about the whole horseman thing”.The party wander over nonchalantly. “I’m a bit worried too” says Anne-Marie. “But I think I know a great solution to clean things up”. She whips out her rapier and stabs at Cuckoo. “Oh, bad show” he says, dancing away from the tip of the rapier, but not drawing his own weapon. “Why are you attacking ME?”“Because,” growls Trajan, “You are in league with Dyson and the forces of evil which he controls”. He likewise draws his weapon.“Oh well, I suppose the jig is up” says Cuckoo. His voice becomes harsher, more croaky: “It was fun while it lasted, and it was a splendid opportunity to gather souls for the war… and make a foothold here! Dyson is to be commended, he is serving the masters very well indeed”Then with a hideous groan the figure of Cuckoo grows - 7, 8, 9ft tall, a hooked bill extending out through his mouth and his outer skin peeling back and shredding off as he grows. His hands and feet become taloned and he shakes huge black-feathered wings, releasing a cloud of spores over the heroes surrounding him.“have at thee, demon” cries Trajan, slicing at it with his scimitar, but seeing the weapon leave the creature unmarked. Anne-Marie thrusts forward with her rapier but finds that even the enchantment on her new weapon is not enough to penetrate the magical aura around the fiendish creature. K’tan launches a concussion at the beast only to see it deflected by spell resistance.The Vrock throws back its head and laughs wildly, while spores sprout, grow and start entwine into the faces and arms of the company...to be continued.</blockquote>
