Kaltesis moves into the kitchen, calling upon the Lord of the Sun to lay the tormented souls of the horrors to rest. The power of Aeos rises in the room, yet the hunter of the undead can feel that there is an evil in the very air, as the storm rages, that seems to fight the power of his faith. In the end, there is no effect. However, the Horrors facing Frea and Calimorton recoil a bit as his aura burns them (2 points)
Larris strikes hard at the malformed undead before him, slashing with his mighty blade, and pummeling at it with his spiked buckler. Both blade and buckler strike true, staggering the vile undead, the green balefire fading a bit from the black pits that were once eyes. (17 points total) The thing's blade manages to parry the follow on blow from Larris' sword, however.
Ari'mone strikes with speed and fury, though one kick does go wide, the other strikes true (6 points) and the horror stiffens as a golden sheen starts to spread over it's form. (4 Dex)
Oxana settles to the ground, draws another arrow and lets fly. Though the wind still buffets her, the badly wounded half celestial sinks an arrow into the horror facing Larris, (5 points) and the balefire in it's eyes winks out, it's body falling into a mass of stench and corruption.
Aaldar enters the kitchen, and begins to cast, in a strong, clear voice, a wave of light and radiant shards leaping from his fingers, and slashing into the two remaining horrors. (12 points) Both collapse, their forms largely vanishing in black mist as the shards drive through them, the green balefire gone, scraps of armor and their blades and bucklers clattering to the floor. Aaldar sags a bit as some of his strength fades (2 points Strength drain)
Molly Calimorton's head rolls obscenely across the floor to lie at Frea's feet.
Calimorton moves to the head, his face a granite mask, and picks it up tenderly..."Why..?"
The battle, it seems, is ended.
