-----------
Nok-Nok hoists his Trident ready to go do battle, when suddenly the weapon experiences some weird advanced aging effect and it disintegrates in his hands. Nok-Nok's eyes go wide and he decides maybe he had best hurry.
He goes tearing down a corridor in the Runewell, looking for something to fight, but as per normal his eyes snags on the shiny thing first.
Shiny thing was just paper with "writing" on it, it was clearly an evil thing so he leaves it behind. Not content with the speed of his feet, he whistles up the Mighty Steed to make tracks away from the area that causes weapons to disintegrate!
Mighty Steed is swift, but doesn't understand task of stay in Runewell and goes scooting off to Grazzle and deposits Nok-Nok at the foot of disgusting looking Hungerer beast.
Clearly it's in need of stabbing to fix it!
Hungerer looks like it might need extra stabbing, so Nok-Nok turns new Demon Armor to flame broil and sets to work stabbing with armor providing extra flame kiss to the process. Hungerer goes down to death of a 1000 cuts.
Nok-Nok gets burnt on the acid in the weird things veins, but he hardly notices as it heals up.
Nok-Nok waves over Grazzle to tell him about his awesome weapon being disintegrated and how he had just found it and everything.

Nok-Nok hears problems back at the Runewell...and ponders that for a bit. Old Salt wanders by and smacks him in the back of the head which shakes loose the fact that he left Arik alone back there. That fop is going to need the help of the bestest god to overcome things since Nok-Nok is too far out to assist in person.
Having realized his mistake, Nok-Nok drops to his knees and asks Demon Queen to lend her aid to frail man!
Demon Queen acquiesces to the request, but at a pretty steep price.

OFFTURN Aric heals 2. Lizard gawds be praised!
The weight of the Runewell weighs heavily upon Aric, and he briefly loses faith in Zon Kuthon, rendering his boon useless [ooc](bury BoZK). Sinking into a corner, Aric makes way for The Red Raven to scout ahead, spotting Boots of Teleportation ahead.
Before he can proceed, the Fortune Teller shakes her jangly wraps for attention as she bellows, "LO, HERO! I SEE YOUR PATH! AHEAD OF YOU LIES...LIES A..."
"boon."
"BOON AHEAD! YES! BE WATCHFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!"
The Red Raven rolls his eyes, though he is thankful for the advantageous encounter before starting his normal exploring.
The Raven pulls the comfy boots on and deftly moves ahead to find yet another Baykok blocking his path. TRR reaches for his blade...and grasps nothing.
F!#+.
Signalling for help, The Raven can feel the strength of the Demon Queen fill him, and the curse of the lizard gods weaken his enemy. Clenching his fists, the Crimson Crusader mutters, "Let's do this," and leaps at the creature.
.
The Raven summons all his strength backed up with divine enhancement to punch the Baykok into oblivion. It launches its death curse spikes at the vigilante, who is able to pivot in time to take it all on the armor. TRR is unscathed, but the armor will need serious repair before it is useful again.
With its guardian defeated, the Runewell door begins to slowly seal itself. Rather than run for it, The Red Raven clicks his heels together and teleports to the Shimmering Veils to thank Grazzle and Nok-Nok for their assistance. As he ports in, he sees a Mercenary waiting in the shadows. TRR has an opportunity to ambush the ambusher, but without a weapon he opts to keep to the shadows himself and allow Aric to amble out and greet the party.

Myrtle heads over to the Shimmering Veils to rejoin the rest of the group
She finds a mercenary hiding in the veil, but with help from her mountaineer friend makes short work of him.
Continuing onwards, she finds a Pixie that the mercenary had captured in a jar. Opening the jar, Myrtle releases the pixie. Happy to be free, Yap points out a pair of magical boots nearby before it flies off.
... unfortunately the boots are the wrong size, so Myrtle throws them aside. This place seems to be magically draining her of her strength, so she decides to sit and let somebody else finish the explorations.

Nok-Nok looks at Baykok, calculates his chances of closing the location after he destroys it and decides those aren't good odds. With a cheerful wave he heads over to Festering Maze to be on hand to assist with the Villain.

Endgame at hand, Aric takes cover as The Red Raven leaps back to the Festering Maze of Sloth to dispatch [ooc]Card 1: Nosferatu with the Head Drum.
The Raven perches on a branch, biding his time, waiting to use Blessing of the Spy to take maximum advantage of his intel. At the opportune moment, he signals Nok-Nok to follow shortly behind, then lunges!
The Raven ducks under the vampire's reach and drags a vicious cut across its midsection, raking the teeth in a jagged slice that slows the monster's advance, and distracts it as the godlin king pounces to finish it...
Hearing that the others are headed out after the Nosferatu, Myrtle quickly scrambles around the Veils, looking for the proper incantation to seal it.
Finding it, she quickly speaks the words and shields the area against the Nosferatu's presence.
Nok-Nok lights the unload over here flare, calling in reinforcements. Nok-Nok sees Nosferatu shrivel a bit as he hears Grazzle's curse from the Black Flame staff land.
Nok-Nok consults his various weapons and given the location decides Stormrune Knife has best shot. He waits for the curse to land, waits for Raven to distract him and then sneaks up from behind.
One shot, one kill.
I guess I'll start at the Crypts...
The only real question is, do we want to stay together or spread out? Given that combat damage, I'm assuming that spreading out will probably be the best option in most situations... anybody have any reason not to?
Nok-Nok will choose his own path to head out! Nok-Nok will take location 5 version of Crypt.

Feeling the rumbling and shaking start, Myrtle knows that it's past time to clear out of these crypts. Thinking that it's better to split up to work our way through, Myrtle chooses a random crypt and starts running. She slows down only long enough to cast a quick prepatory spell on herself and quaff a potion. Never hurts to be prepared in trying times like this...
As she runs past a couple small shrines and monuments to the gods, Myrtle stops herself. Yes, haste is important... but then, the blessings of the gods could also be very useful. She doubles back to pray at each one, feeling the blessings of the gods upon her. They seem happy that even in life-threatening situations somebody is willing to stop and pay homage. Hopefully, making gods happy will help get her out of this alive...
The gods reward her with a suit of heavy armor. Not really her style, but maybe the magic of it will at least protect her from the falling debris. She holds the front of the breastplate over her head like an umbrella as she runs.
Suddenly an abominable snowman lurks out of the darkness in front of her. She shakes her head in an attempt to disbelieve the illusion, assuming there's no possible way such a monster would be this deep in these magical crypts. But it doesn't fade away at all... might it actually be real? Myrtle doesn't have time to waste with it, she mutters a few words and a crack opens up in one wall. A flow of lava suddenly erupts through the crack, smothering and burning the cold creature. Assured now that it won't try to follow her any further, she chooses a new direction and continues to move quickly.
When she opened the crack, apparently she shook loose a couple sarcophagi from the crypts, and one of them catches her eye as she runs past. A pristine spell scroll sits atop a pile of rotted paper. She snatches it up, glancing down and realizing just how useful this spell is... something to make her move faster, to help clear her and her friends out of this place. She is preparing to cast it when suddenly
A Hag jumps out in front of her. Apparently, that had been one of her scrolls, and she doesn't take kindly to it being pilfered. Myrtle hefts her axe, pausing to drip some deadly poison on the end of it, and then charges to engage the creature. The hag falls quickly to the poisoned blade.
Thinking that if the hag had such a useful scroll, she might have other useful tools for escaping, Myrtle stops to investigate the rest of her lair. She finds a large chest, but unfortunately can't manage to force it open. She doesn't have time to waste here, so she quickly moves on.
As she's about to leave the lair, she spots a magical belt in a pile of bones off to one side, she snatches it up on her way out.
And then Myrtle has found it, the exit to this place. Unfortunately, the massive stone door is locked, preventing her from leaving. She hefts the axe again, drinks a potion to help enhance her aim, and quickly spots the weak points on the door. Using the axe to hack and pry near those weak spots, she triumphantly knocks the door down, and escapes the crypt... right into yet another crypt.
Realizing that this maze of crypts is trying to trap her and her friends in here while it collapses around them, she quickly makes the marking of a trail sign for "Dead end" on the outside of the door. That way, if her or any of her friends get turned around and end up back here, they'll know that this is not the way out, and won't waste time going back into this area.
As she stops to make the markings, a large piece of the ceiling falls on her. Luckily, her makeshift "umbrella" absorbs most of the blow, and although the magical belt gets buried and lost under the rubble, she's mostly unharmed.

Grazzle goes to the sixth crypt, and on Grazzle's way, sends healing to the old pinkskin woman.
Grazzle encounters an Elder Water Elemental, rising up from a tasty looking pool of fetid water. Grazzle summons forth a Holy Javelin to destroy the creature.
Grazzle then uses Scrying to peer into the future, looking for blessings of various gods. Though Grazzle sees a Cloak of Elvenkind and a Necromantic Deathtrap, Grazzle finds only a generic Blessing of the Gods, and rearranges fate to leave that in Grazzle's immediate future.
, Grazzle moves and claims the Blessing of the Gods for The Lizard Gods. Grazzle immediately , finding a scroll of Speed.
Grazzle pulls magic out of the scroll to peer into Nok-Nok's future, Grazzle sees a scroll of Haste hidden, and a Sneak hoping to ambush the goblin.
Grazzle decides to drink some of the elemental that's left and rest.

Nok-Nok is lost in Crypt, he knows somewhere his friends are nearby, but all these Crypts look the same. He kicks a piece of paper. It has writing on it, so he kicks it again.
He knows he just heard Grazzle recently warning about a sneak, but so far, all he finds for is Nok-Nok. He chuckles to himself at the joke, which distracts him from the Sneak making off with his new stuff.
Nok-Nok realizes his special stone is gone shortly after and starts searching the deep shadow pockets and quickly discovers the Sneak. New glass knife makes short work of Sneak and he reclaim shiny rock.
Nok-Nok is about to move on when he notices the belt the sneak is wearing. It clearly has been well cared for, so Nok-Nok attempts to find the buckle to remove it.
Belt pops off pretty easy, it clearly wanted Nok-Nok to have it. He tries it on and feels amazing! He scans the room for something to stick a knife in.
Unfortunately in his excitement, he lets out a little cheer that carries up the mountain and is just enough sound to cause an Avalanche. Nok-Nok recognizes the sound and starts running!
Nok-Nok thinks he finds a safe place to hide, but as he's heading there a large rock tumbles down ahead of the snow and smashes onto table shattering it...Nok-Nok veers off and finds a crack in the wall that he can wiggle into just in time for the snow to thunder past.

Ooops, does it collapse?
Nok-Nok reveals buckler to block falling rubble as a Shrine to the gods gets buried.
The Red Raven is not keen on staying here any longer than necessary, splits off the group to try and clear out the Ravenous Crypts of Gluttony #4. Spying the [ooc]Card 1: Ambush before it comes, TRR prepares to dodge through the coming attacks.
After ducking through their prepared attacks, the unseen assailants seem unwilling to face The Raven directly and flee. One of them drops a scroll of Augury on the way out.
Quickly stashing the scroll, TRR follows intel form the Secret Broker to explore.
Blessing of the Gods
The path narrows into an Icy Ledge here. Using the ice cleats and climbing spikes he acquired from his goblin friend , The Raven attempts to shimmy across.
at last across the ledge, the vigilante has the wizard Isiem scout ahead, , and skips ahead in the path to an errant Blessing of Sarenrae.
The Raven recovers the boon and follows his Wayfinder to Sneak Isiem told him was hiding around the corner.
Sneaking up on the sneak and pushing him off the icy ledge, TRR uses the Blessing of Sarenrae to explore further and finds a Potion of Energy Resistance the sneak dropped.
Scooping it up, he then follows the Dreamstalker's haunting voice to a hidden Winged Shield in a rocky alcove.
It proves too weighty for the finesse fighter and he leaves it be, instead following the barking Appleslayer, who runs ahead and returns with barking directions. Guarding the exit of the crypt is a Wyvern, and The Red Raven makes sure his Shadowless Sword is ready.
The Red Raven ends his gluttonous frenzy only because there is nothing left to attack or acquire.
The ground lurches beneath him as he exits the crypt, though he cannot tell if from the instability in it or himself. Debris batters him, dislodging his spare Mask of the Red Raven and Isiem contact. He pauses to sort that out. As he rests, the crypt seems to close up behind him and ahead of him a new crypt entrance appears. *sigh*

Myrtle continues to move quickly through this new crypt, still trying to find her way back to the surface. She spots a spell scroll, and remembering how much help that Haste spell was, she pauses long enough to snatch it up. This one is a less utility spell, but still could end up useful perhaps.
She stops briefly at another holy shrine to pray for more guidance out of here, and then continues on her way.
... and comes face to face with a hulky man in heavy armor. He looks at her stone axe and laughs at her, thinking that his armor makes him immune to her feeble weapon. She shakes her head... and thinks that she doesn't have time to deal with this right now. Tucking the axe back into her belt she instead casts a spell. The warlord braces himself for a fireball or some other offensive magic, and then laughs again when it appears that nothing has happened. He steps towards her... and then immediately falls over dead as she boops him on the nose with one finger.
Moving on past him, she jumps back as it appears that the rock itself has stopped falling down upon her, and has instead started rising up around her. The she realizes that it's not rock, merely a giant with skin the color and texture of the rock. The giant stands and looms over her. Still not wanting to take time to stand and fight, especially not against something so much larger than her, she reaches into a pouch and pulls out a bottle. Hurling it at the giant, it cracks and shatters at his feet, releasing a thunderous crack of lightning that strikes him down.
She grabs a glint of metal that she's spotted near the giant's feet, snatching up a spyglass as she finally exists that crypt. Looking around... she has once again NOT emerged into daylight. Turning around she makes another marking on the door behind her so that she and her friends will hopefully find their way out of here eventually. Then she turns to see what lies ahead next.

Grazzle knows Grazzle's friends are tired and hurting, so Grazzle channels the raw power of The Lizard Gods.
Grazzle then casts Major Cure on Grazzle, boosting Grazzle's own health. Only after casting Create Mindscape to bolster Grazzle's mental powers does Grazzle push forward into the location. There, Grazzle finds a suit of Greater Bolstering Armor, but as Grazzle cannot use it, Grazzle leaves it be.
Grazzle decides to peer into Grazzle's immediate future, . Grazzle sees a very difficult monster - a Skull Ripper, immune to magic, guarding a dangerous Icy Ledge. Ill-equipped to handle, either, Grazzle waits even though the halls are collapsing.
Instead, Grazzle peers into the futures of Nok-Nok and Mother Myrtle, At the 2nd set of ruins, a Cave Bear guards a Blessing of the Gods as Mother Myrtle approaches. Meanwhile, a Fortress Shield and a Blessing of Desna await Nok-Nok at the 5th set of ruins.

Nok-Nok continues winding through this particular portion of the Crypts and stumbles across a very large pillar with a handle Nok-Nok gives it a keen eye and is able to deduce it's some sort of shield?
Nok-Nok tries to heft it and finds it's lighter than he looks...however it's still taller than he is. He shrugs and drags it behind him.
Nok-Nok follows old wisdom passed down by salt encrusted man at last port. He said to seek the gods...Nok-Nok doesn't know about these other gods, they seem puny in comparison to Lamashtu, but since he happened to stumble across Desna shrine...it couldn't hurt.
Nok-Nok tries to reach Desna, but she doesn't give good feedback. Nok-Nok instead reaches out to Lamashtu to provide guidance.
Demon Queen smacks Nok-Nok upside the head for bothering her with directions and points out that there is a Deathweb around the corner that he could deal with.
Nok-Nok is staggered a bit and manages to drop the newly acquired shield on his foot, which reminds him of the shiny rock he has stashed in the toe of his boot. Nok-Nok thanks Lamashtu for guidance and engages the Deathweb.
Nok-Nok pulls up Burglar Buckler to bounce off initial Deathweb attack. Nok-Nok smiles in return, pulls knives and wades in among the many legs.
Nok-Nok enjoys dancing among the legs, whirling about with his knives. Deathweb does not. Lamashtu be praised.

After feeling the healing power of the lizard gods, Aric is refreshed and turns his gaze towards his oracle friend. Noting Grazzle scouting some difficult obstacles for him ahead at the Ravenous Crypts of Gluttony #6, The Red Raven leaps into action, standing against the [ooc]Card 2: Skull Ripper on his behalf.
Brandishing his Corrosive Backsword +4 with lumbar support from his Belt of Physical Might, TRR attacks!
The Raven stumbles, his swing nearly a miss, but thanks to the proper posture supported by his belt, he corrects and cuts true.
Knowing the difficulty of the ledge ahead thanks to Grazzles foresight, TRR uses his own intel as well to try and skirt another Icy Ledge, stabbing his backsword into the rock face for added stability.
Nearing the end of this crypt, TRR can see a Blessing of Calistria hidden in a rocky nook exposed by his backsword. Taking a moment to swap his Sawtooth Sabre +2 for his Striking Wing Scimitar, The Raven then uses his on intel BotSpy to plan his surge ahead and try to escape the crypt.
(5, 1 5) + 2 = 8 12
Claiming the blessing removed the last vestige of good from the crypt and it collapses under its own evil. That is surely what happened. Expending the flight of his Striking Wing Scimitar, TRR throws Grazzle a salute and wings off to Ravenous Crypts of Gluttony #1 to assist Myrtle. Callistria guides him just in time, as a Cave Bear rears up to attack!
The Raven uses the backsword in its titular anatomy and the bear falls with a flumpf. The tussle attracts the attention of Myrtle's Shadowcat, who stands ready to assist.
Elyana points out a generic divine boon left on an empty bier. TRR claims the Mlessing of the Gods and uses its energy to fuel his exploration of the next chamber. A resounding boom sounds as a Crushing Door comes down to block his path. As he backs up, it lifts, waiting to chomp down again...
The vigilante is pretty sure he could dive through safely and disable it from the other side, but it is an unnecessary risk. Probing around with the blade of his Corrosive Backsword, he eventually finds the part of the adjacent wall housing the mechanism for the door and melts through it. The door crashes down again, then topples to one side of the doorway out of harm's way. Through the hole in the wall, The Raven can see an Occluding Field spring up blocking the exit from the next chamber.
This looks like it could be tough to pass, and TRR lacks the stamina to take it out himself just now. Using the opportunity to draw that scroll from his kit, The Raven stashes his extra sword to focus on casting unfamiliar magic. He also spies a Harpy and some Magic Studded Leather Armor elsewhere in the crypt, but focuses on finding a path around the barrier.
With one last look around , The Red Raven spots a Card : Wand of Treasure Finding down a concealed path and points Myrtle in that direction.

Grazzle knows how much stress and pain Grazzle's friends are in, and so Grazzle calls upon the Lizard Gods to aid them.
Then, Grazzle moves to join Arik and the old woman at Crypts #2. Grazzle is told that a blessing of a pinkskin god is there, so Grazzle attempts to obtain the pinkskin god's favor. The pinkskin god trembles before the power of the Lizard Gods and Grazzle takes a Blessing of Calistria for Grazzle's own.
Grazzle then draws power from Grazzle's spell of Heat Magic, , and peers into the future. Grazzle Sees a goblin spell, Fire Sneeze, and then an incredibly powerful Occlusion Field.
Grazzle uses the Blessing of Calistria, , to attempt to secure the goblin spell. For one of Grazzle's power, it is trivial to obtain.
The barrier is much more difficult. Grazzle decides instead to prepare and help everyone hear deal with it. But first, Grazzle uses the magic of the new goblin spell to peer into Nok-Nok's future. There, Grazzle sees an Explosive Runes barrier waiting for the goblin.

Nok-Nok knows he will need all the help he can get with the barrier, so he goes and recruits wayfarer's help to guide him through the explody runes.
With the Wayfarer pointing the way, Nok-Nok sets about disarming the runes.
With that dealt with, Nok-Nok asks for the Wayfarer's advice on how to close the Crypt.
Nok-Nok feels that's sufficient, he will wait for someone else tackle the remaining location and look for divine help for his friends.

Aric regroups with Grazzle at Ravenous Crypts of Gluttony #2 to face the last barrier (literally) to our escape: an [ooc]Card 1: Occluding Field, and after a glance, opts to let The Red Raven handle it with his Corrosive Backsword +4.
Stabbing his way out of whatever phantom crypt dimension we've been stuck in, The Red Raven leads the party out of this nightmare and into VICTORY.
Myrtle will start in the Crypts... purely for story reasons I'm sure. I mean, we just came running out of them, it makes sense that we'd still be there. Yeah, that's the one and only reason why I'm choosing to start there...
She'll also plan to move to the Peak, since she can auto-pass the start of turn check, and she's the only one that can safely traverse them.

Nok-Nok ponders smart thinking and decides maybe killing where old woman is the best plan for now. She can do her icky harvesty thing and prepare for the future. With that thought in mind, Nok-Nok sets to clearing Crypt again.
Nok-Nok immediately finds shrine to gods. Nok-Nok almost like family, so they greet him with assistance in the form of a new door to explore.
Behind door is another shrine, this one explicitly for Irori. Nok-Nok tries to reach out using wisdom from Salty Man. Nok-Nok find him to be smart, so maybe Irori will be impressed.
Nok-Nok feels pleased that he has learned to navigate a bit better in god house, but he quickly continues towards next door.
In his hurry, Nok-Nok doesn't notice the trap in the door util it's nearly too late. Fortunately Arik is more aware and calls out a warning at the last minute. Nok-Nok turns to ask what and the spikes just graze his back. He winces and allows his natural healing kick in.
Nok-Nok decides to follow aged wayfarer's advice and proceed a bit more cautiously.
Door was guarding another trap!
Nok-Nok rush pillar that is charging with energy and rams it with his head. It's unconventional, but it audibly cracks and the energy dissipates.
Nok-Nok shakes his head and then heads further drawing on knowledge of Kupmuk, sure that a fight is coming...why else did he stay here...
Nok-Nok might be sure, but apparently all the traps are just guarding a belt. Looks nice, so he tries it on.
Belt fits good, Nok-Nok takes a moment to reequip before continuing.

Aric does some quick math based on his now-copious experiences in the Ravenous Crypts of Gluttony. Calculating that there are very likely some monsters ahead, Aric skulks behind a sarcophagus and and The Red Raven takes point, charging headlong into a Gamigin.
The Raven lunges with his backsword, bur the creature is so misshapen, he mistakenly aims for the side. Maat guides the vigilante's blade back on target and monster is mortally wounded. The Raven steps aside so Myrtle can do her work .
Following the Dreamstalker ahead, TRR confronts a Hungerer lurking in the next room. Seeing it drip with its own acidic secretions, Aric sheathes his backsword and draws his Shadowless Sword to strike, twisting as he goes for extra damage.
The Hungerer seems to be made of stomach acid, and it explodes everywhere as it is gutted. The Raven deftly spins in the air, avoiding most of the fluid, but a small bit splashes on the Secret Broker who retreats to tend to his wounds .
Myrtle draws forth some glass vials to harvest some stomach acid as the crimson crusader has Isiem do some scrying ahead...
TRR starts to charge off towards the henchman, then realizes he could put the party in jeopardy. Instead, he stalls, looking over a shield he has no intention of picking up to give the party time to disperse.

Myrtle watches as Aric slices down a couple monsters, and runs over to collect the droppings. Very useful entrails these have...
Once the monsters are struck down, and after Aric has warned about a much bigger beast ahead, Myrtle decides that it's time for her to move on. She thought she spotted one of the giants moving up the outside of the mountain, and is afraid that it'll be too treacherous for the more ... urban-inclined members of the group. So she makes sure she's got all her gear well bundled up, drinks the potion that she made from some of the entrails, and starts climbing the peak.
Partway up the mountain she spots the frozen body of a previous adventurer. And he's wearing armor to protect him from heat... see, this is exactly why she didn't want the others following her here. Rookies would only be more trouble than they're worth. Of course, the armor would go to waste here, so even if it's magical properties aren't the most useful thing, it wouldn't hurt to have an extra layer.
The man was also carrying a Scythe, of all the odd weapon choices to bring to the top of a mountain. Instantly dismissing it as much too large and unweildy, she leaves it to be buried by snow.
It looks like he has one more magic item as well... but this one is protected by a trapped lockbox. Steeling herself, she sticks her hand in to pry it open, only to have the entire thing suddenly snap shut around her, and try to take her hand. Luckily her friendly glass elemental was faster, and extends part of itself to shield her hand and hold the mechanism open, so that she could retrieve the object inside. A fighting amulet, not really her style, but might make a nice prize. If nothing else, she can use it to keep her fingers warm on the cold climb.
Continuing up the peak, she follows a friendly moose until... it leads her to one of the giants. The villain looks over at here, his skin burning to keep the mountain cold at bay, and the wave of heat blasts out towards her.
Myrtle charges towards the monster, literally throwing everything she's got at it as she goes.
Thanks to the mixture of bottles and mechanical allies harrassing the creature, Myrtle is able to close within range to reach out at him with her powerful touch spell. Invoking the name of Nok-Nok's chaotic god to help her defeat this giant, she reaches out and channels all of the dark energy into him.
The creature falls from the top of the mountain peak. She sees it finally hit ground far below... and yet it still stirs, not quite banished. Sighing, she turns to start her long climb back down the mountain. Before descending though, she stops to peer out towards the barren landscape to see what's there.
