Lily held up the skull, summoning Lith between her and Havastav. The skulls eyes flared as she urged her shadowy companion forward, and it fell on the armoured man in a wave of inky black centipedes, drawing strength from him to heal Lily and Raiyek's wounds. As Lith's attack ebbed Lily completed as second incantation and two howling and angry ghost poured out of the skull and descended on Havastav with a fury. Taking advantage of the momentary distraction Lily and Lith slipped around into better positions.
Carolina maneuvers around Kruck for a better position, and thrusts forward at Havastav just as the magical dagger returns to her hand. The blade finds a particularly vital spot and causes a vicious wound.

Infused with healing from Lily's magic, Raiyek's eyes snap open again. After a brief moment to take stock of the battle, the paladin is up on his feet again.
He gives a critical eye to Havastav's defenses, spots an vulnerability, and attacks. Raiyek's arm is still weak from his brush with death, however his faith is strong and Lily's aid is enough as the glowing blade strikes the shade somewhat disrupting it. It appears to be hanging by a thread.
Kruk staggers from the blow, but regains composure quickly. "
Hmmm...is that all you got? I've not fallen yet!" Kruk rares back "
I've been saving this one for you shade warrior!" unleashing a brutal attack, swiping his axe in such a way that carried all of his strength and weight behind it. Unfortunately, the blow misses, much to the dismay of the dwarf, due to the mighty attack he suffered from the foe.
Georg swings his staff toward Brutus, the air explodes in thunder, but somehow the large zombie holds his ground..
The huge zombie turns its attention back to Raiyek now that the "holy one" has stood up and another double handed smash to the elf's shoulders sends him back down the the ground, although this time he stays conscious.
Havastav looks at Kruk and the shade laughs, a cold, haunting sound, as the bastard sword slashes hard on Kruk after he deflected the first blow with his shield. Kruk can't withstand this punishment and joins Raiyek on the ground, although his eyes stare unmoving as his lifeblood pours out.
The flames continue to grow as Kadaj focuses on the ritual, a huge form is now beginning to take shape in the fires as the "crimelord" maintains his focus.
