Night descends over you quickly. What little noise could be heard in the swamp during the day and afternoon comes to an abrupt stop. Occasionally you hear the sound of something entering or exiting the water along a far bank, and small rushes of a wind you cannot place the source of.
The hair on Rex's back stands on end and the dog growls, sensing danger nearby. The rush of wind suddenly stops without warning and is silent again for a few moments. Then a piercing wail breaks the air that chills you all to the bone. Then you see it, what can only be the wraith menace. It's misty form barrels straight through any obstruction in it's way as it heads straight for you, it's outstretched "hands" grasping for you, ready to drag you to the abyss.

As his companions search about, Calenthang stands and peers around into the gloom, sensing the presence of doom far before it makes itself known.
Spotting the dark specter, Calenthang remembers the advice of Ayden and draws his magical short sword, swallowing his fears and doubts, and making for the wraith head-on.

Watching as the mist rushed towards them, Ayden knew the moment of truth was upon them. Forcing his hands to be steady, Ayden grabbed his holy symbol and held it towards the creature.
~Give me your strength Uncle...~
"By Finder's will, your time among the living is over!!"
ooc: Trying a turn first, but not sure how much good it will do, especially since Ayden is dead last again...*L*

Teleri:
Teleri stands her ground, grasping a vial of holy water and flicking the top off, while holding her holy symbol straight out in front of her in plain view. "Back! Back to the dead realms with you!" she says in elvish, (attempting a turn). If she fails, she will fling the holy water at the creature and dodge out of the way.
May the lady protect us all, she prays ferverently.

Drogo lays his hand on Rex's muzzel. "May the spirits of fire bring force to this creature, that justice be dispensed to this abomination." (casts magic fang on Rex)
He'll next order Rex to attack, cast flame blade & leap to the attack himself.
OOC: I'm posting several actions, as I will probably not be logging in as often as usual these next few months. Please NPC Drogo if these actions seem innapropriate later. Thanks.

Taking what he regards to be the simplest course of action, Andreas chants, gestures, and sends a bolt of arcane energy into the wraith. This done, he takes several steps back, putting some ground (and hopefully a few of his better armored companions) between himself and the undead.

Mustering his courage Calenthang moves to swing at the wraith. He swings his blade through the creature, leaving a line of magical light to sparkle where his blade cut through for a few moments before subsiding. (5 damage) Spurred on by Calenthang's success with his blade Sielwoodan draws his own and slashes at the undead abomination, producing a similar magical affect, wounding it further. (6 damage)
Rex, having recieved his magical blessing from Drogo hesitates a moment before overcoming his fear of the undead and leaps to attack. Unfortunately he ends up sailing right through the wraith and landing on the other side, more than a little bit confused. The incorporealness of the wraith was a challenge to make contact with even with magic weapons. Rex crouched once more and prepared to spring again.
Presenting her holy symbol to the wraith Teleri attempts to turn it. She feels a rush of righteous energy as she finishes the attempt. The wraith stops for a moment and hesistates, bringing it's "arms" up to cover it's face, but manages to resist and not flee! Angered by the damage being done to it, the wraith lashes at Sielwoodan with a shadowy tendril. The hand sinks through the ranger's armor and transmits it's icy touch straight to his bare skin. Immediately Sielwoodan begins feeling weaker and a bit sick. A very unnerving feeling indeed. (3 damage, 2 Constitution drained - Wraith recovers 5)
Calling upon her own holy power Chastity swings her greatsword down at the wraith in a deadly arc. Her blade sails through the creature, an explosion of divine power bleeding from her blade. The undead screeches in pain. (14 damage) Andreas sends 2 magical bolts of his own sailing towards the creature, detonating them in it's flank. (6 damage) All this is too much for the wraith as Ayden's attempt at a second turning sends it fleeing from the party. This gives Calenthang and Sielwoodan the oppurtunity to cut it down as it carelessly turns to flee. Quickly as it began the battle is over, and a deathly silence returns to the area.

Calenthang droops his shoulders visibly in bewilderment.
"That was easy..." he says to the world in general, a little abashed. He looks around in the low-light and studies everyones' composure, making sure everyone, besides the obviously sickly Sielwoodan, is alright.
