He staggers a few paces off, trying to contain it.Meanwhile, Thrush shakes his head, ignoring the sizzle of his armor, and gets ready to charge it.  Before he can, however, Angelfire's falchion finishes the job- a series of heavy chops brings the thing crashing down.A quick search of the room turns up no sign of Felenga, but then, as they open the  door across the hall, our heroes meet the Master of Darkhold.  Dressed all in black, with dark brooding eyes, he appears human, but who can say what he is?  Darkhold is not what it appears either.And now the battle with Felenga is just around the corner...*In other words, he gained a negative level.**Just as a reminder, Angel has the fire subtype.Next Time: The party vs. Felenga!!</blockquote>
