[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 5020203, member: 60965"] Session 27, Part 5 This time it would catch all its prey. The caster had again warded itself and many of the others from the Nightwing's minions, so the Nightwing focused on him. Unfortunately, the wizard quickly surrounded himself in other, stronger wardings and the Nightwing's magics glanced off him harmlessly. As the enemy scattered to avoid the Nightwing's attacks and to face the wraiths and shadows that were emerging from the Skyland on every side, the Nightwing dove at the isolated wizard. It dropped for the kill, falling from the darkness towards the lone figure. The wizard looked up when the Nightwing was less than twenty feet above it, but to the Nightwing's surprise there was no fear in the eyes that looked up at him. A second later, the Nightwing saw why. A Truestone was held in its upraised hand, wind swirling around it. Just as the Nightwing extended its claws to tear the wizard apart, the stone flared and the Nightwing was hurled sideways to slam into the rocky ground. It immediately furled its wings to claw for the sky, but a squat form slammed into one wing, pinning it to the ground. It turned and slashed the figure off of its wing and tried to lift off again, but arrows slammed into the other wing, pinning it to the Nightwing's side. It swung its wing back hard, breaking the arrow shafts, and planted its wing to launch. It looked up just in time to see the burly half-dragon whose armor it had destroyed before leaping through the air, adamantine sword glinting in the mage-light before burying into the Nightwing's head. *** “Everyone alive?” Bail said, staring down at the black ichor dissolving into black smoke off of his blade. “That went a bit better than last time,” Kormak said, prodding the Nightwing's slowly dissolving corpse. “Keeper didn't make it,” Suniel said softly, kneeling over the broken remains of the construct. “My men are alive,” Harold said. “But all of them are hurt.” “I'm fine,” Velea said, backing slowly away from the nightmarish body. “Though I hope I never see another of those as long as I live.” “I hope so too, since you seem to be spending a lot of time with us lately,” Kormak said. “That's two of them we've killed now,” Bail said. “Let's hope that we don't have to take on a third.” “Two of them killed, two of us killed,” Kormak said. “Don't like the exchange rate.” “Three of us,” Suniel said, gathering up Keeper's broken pieces. “Keeper is a person as well.” “He rebuilds a bit easier than we do,” Kormak said. “Can't exactly use scrap metal on us.” “That cleric managed to bring you two back,” Suniel said, pointing at Bail and Harold. “Lets hope whatever this thing dissolves into doesn't drift off to the Ashen Towers so Thessalock can bring [I]it[/I] back,” Harold said, gesturing at the swirling cloud of shadow and smoke over the half-vanished corpse of the Nightwing. “I think not,” Suniel said, staring off to the north. “Wherever these came from, they are far too powerful for even Thessalock to bring back.” They all glanced north towards where, somewhere beyond the horizon, the Ashen Tower sat on its own pinnacle of rock, looming over the Endless Sands as they flew onwards towards the Crystal Towers.
