But Xavier Sangrea used Malice magic to switch the shot to Uru, who cried out in pain, and slumped, despite being hidden.Uru then used his ghosts to take control of Pardo’s duplicant body and send him to fight the Screaming Malice. It almost worked; Pardo struggled to move in that direction, but the ghosts possessing him re-exerted control .Leon, who hadn't moved to the top of the ziggurat yet, did so and tried to horrify Lauryn Cyneburg.  Again, the magic failed.  The ghost council was strong!Cyneburg responded to all this company by saying she was never one for crowds, then used her famous explosive jaunt trick to plant three fires seeds atop the ziggurat and then bampf away.  Both she and Pardo used their gestalt mind power on Korrigan and Quratulain to keep them from moving away from the fire seeds.  Quratulain was affected, and rooted to the spot.Korrigan grabbed Quratulain and jumped off the edge onto the tier below, ordering the others to move too.  Uru flew high into the air on Little jack. Rumdoom invoked his Icon of Avilona and flew down to tackle the Screaming Malice again.All of a sudden, Uriel arrived, appearing, in an oddly translucent form, on the second tier down. “About time,” said Leon, “Where have you been?”“I’ll explain in a moment,” said Uriel, almost reeling from the effort, before invoking his incarnation Cardinal Tadeas and castigating the ghosts that lurked in Campion and Xavier Sangrea with an extremely powerful divine spell, driving them into range of Cyneburg’s fire seeds.Sangrea followed Korrigan’s lead and leapt off the upper tier to join Quratulain in melee. This was a mistake.  She shot him, point-blank, with her lantern blaster and killed both him and the ghosts that possessed him. She fired again, and dropped Pardo, ghosts and all.“I’ll deal with Cyneburg!” declared Uriel, concerned that she would be killed without any attempt to free her.Rumdoom was fending off the remaining constructs when the Screaming Malice attacked him again. Two heads shrieked; two bit down on him, and began a tug of war. Rumdoom swung the Stone of Not and obliterated first one head, then another, freeing himself, but even he was exhausted by now.Amielle took a pot-shot at another head.  A palpable hit, but not the right kind of weapon.Campion Price-Hill flew up after Uru, determined to take him out.  He was wearing special, dark glasses which prevented the deep faen from hiding  from him.  Uru ducked and dodged, then surrounded himself with a magical cloak of darkness that even Campion could not see through.Uru flew even higher, and now he could see the tops of the trees swaying as the Ash Wolf charged towards them at great speed!</blockquote>
