(1)Through the floor beneath the throng comes Chanvati's answer; the spector-of-death-themed Aspect of Nerull phases from beneath like a wraith, wielding its scythe.  The Remorhaz recoils as if smelling the subtle stench of necrosis and the promise of a timeless end that Nerull's messenger brings with it (2).[HR][/HR]What do you do?  MEDIUM DC both.</blockquote>
