Each assassin shifts their fighting style into a more offensive one, and as they do, a brief burst of fire flares up around them.
They then each once more hurl a now fiery blast of shadowy energy at the nearest mummy.
Each assassin then pauses to recover their expended attack once more.

The invisible Cae continues singing, bolstering his nearby allies and manipulating the fate of one of the apprentices before moving west away from the descended apprentices with Vyse so she can continue her song.

Vyse croons gently as she hangs on to Cae's shoulder.

Seeing an opening, Raxus rushes at the southeast apprentice. His body glows and sparks as he grabs at it.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Absorb Water (Su): For every 5 points of damage inflicted or gallon of water evaporated by a mythic dry mummy with its desiccation ability, it heals 1 hit point worth of damage. Further, if a mythic drought bringer inflicts 10 points of Strength damage with its withering touch ability within a single minute, it gains a +4 enhancement bonus to its Strength score for 1 hour. This Strength damage does not need to be inflicted on the same target.
Create dry mummy (Su): Whenever a humanoid creature dies as a result of damage inflicted by a mythic drought bringer’s desiccation ability, the mythic drought bringer can expend a single use of mythic power. If he does, the slain creature rises as a non-mythic dry mummy on the mythic drought bringer’s next turn. Dry mummies created in this way have no memory of their former selves, and obey the mythic drought bringer that created them perfectly for 1 hour, after which they strike out on their own if they have not been destroyed.
Desiccation (Su): Simply being near a mythic drought bringer is enough for the undead creature to leech away the water from a victim’s body. Any creature that enters or begins its turn within 30 feet of a mythic drought bringer must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 16, +2 per previous check) or suffer 2d6 points of nonlethal damage. Creatures that suffer nonlethal damage in this way become fatigued, and creatures who suffer an amount of nonlethal damage in this way equal to their total hit points begin to take lethal damage, instead damage inflicted as a result of this ability (both lethal and nonlethal) cannot be cured by any means as long as the
creature remains within 30 feet of the mythic drought bringer. Even once outside this range, the damage cannot be healed through magic or natural healing, but for every gallon of water that a damaged creature drinks, he heals 5 points of damage inflicted by this ability.
Additionally, any water sources within 30 feet of the mythic drought bringer evaporate at a rate of 10 gallons per round, including sealed water sources (such as water skins). Creatures made of water (such as water elementals), and certain other creatures particularly susceptible to dehydration suffer 5d6 points of lethal damage per round as long as they are within 30 feet of the mythic drought bringer (Fortitude DC 24 for half), instead of the normal effect. The saving throw DCs are Charisma-based.
As a full-round action, a mythic drought bringer can expend a use of mythic power to intensify its desiccation ability, allowing it to draw out moisture more quickly. If it does, then for the next minute, all damage inflicted by this ability is doubled, and it evaporates water sources at rate of 20 gallons per round, instead of the normal rate. Additionally, non-mythic creatures that make saving throws to resist the effects of the ability must roll twice and take the worse result.
Sand Glide (Ex): This ability functions like the earth elemental’s earth glide ability, but works only on sand, dirt, and other fine-grained solid matter.
Sandstorm (Su): As a full-round action, a mythic drought bringer can create a whirling cloud of sand and other tiny debris around itself in a 20-foot radius, which is centered on the mythic dry mummy and moves with it. This obscures vision, granting adjacent characters in the affected area concealment against one another (20% miss chance), and obscuring all vision beyond 5 feet. This sandstorm also inflicts 1d6 points of nonlethal damage each round to each creature in its area other than the mythic drought bringer. A sandstorm lasts until the end of the mythic drought bringer’s next turn, although it can spend a move action each round to maintain a sandstorm that it created on a previous turn.
A mythic drought bringer can expend a use of mythic power to activate this ability as a swift action, instead of a full-round action. If it does, the sandstorm lasts for 1 minute before the mythic drought bringer needs to maintain it with a move action each round.
Withering Touch (Su): Any creature struck by drought bringer’s claw attack must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 24) or suffer 1d2 points of Strength damage. Strength damage inflicted in this way heals at a rate of 1 per minute, instead of the normal rate.
Whenever a mythic C successfully inflicts Strength damage with this ability, he can expend one use of mythic power. If he does, he inflicts that much Strength drain, instead. Strength drain inflicted in this way does not heal at a faster rate than normal, unlike Strength damage inflicted by this ability.
Despair (Su): The mere sight of a drought bringer requires viewers to succeed at a Will saving throw (DC 48) or be paralyzed with fear for 1d4 rounds. Regardless of the outcome of the save, a subject is not again vulnerable to that brought bringer’s despair ability for 24 hours. The DC is Charisma-based.
Drought Bringer Rot (Su): Supernatural disease—slam, Fort save (DC 35), incubation period instantaneous; damage 1d6 temporary Con. Unlike normal diseases, drought bringer rot requires a victim to make a successful saving throw every round or take another 1d6 points of temporary Constitution damage. The rot continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or receives a remove disease spell or similar magic. An afflicted creature that dies shrivels away into sand unless both remove disease and raise dead (or better) are cast on the remains within 2 rounds. If the remains are not so treated, on the third round the dust swirls and forms an 18 HD mummy with the dead foe’s equipment under the drought bringer’s command. (The mummy dust epic spell has statistics for an 18 HD mummy.)
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—chain lightning, displacement, haste, knock, greater dispel magic, passwall, scrying, greater teleport, true seeing, unholy aura, weird; 1/day—ruin (epic spell). Caster level 27th; save DC 23 + spell level. The DC is Charisma-based.
Undead Traits: Undead Traits. Undead are immune to death effects, Disease, mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, phantasms, and patterns), paralysis, Poison, sleep, stun, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
It can be harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons or creatures that strike as magic weapons, and spells, spell-like abilities, or supernatural abilities.

Suddenly five bolts of electricity emerge from his faint spot, all in different directions striking various targets.

"Aye, we are turning the tide fellows, press on!"
Amunet-Ra, from her invisible position, joins the fight again, concentrating on the mummies.
Suddenly a volley of fiery small missiles blink into existance, directed at the mummies.
Unseen, she then moves to another position closeby, staying in the air above Cae.
"Press on, valiant maiden, I believe we shall overcome our foes!"

Standard action: cast an illusion spell. Cost 1 SP to cast, 1 to last 19 minutes without concentration, 1 for complex, 1 for shadow infusion (4 SP total). Uses all sensory traits to fool the senses.
Programmed illusion: 4 circumstances
1. fly towards enemies (illusions have a 250ft speed and must stay within 250ft of me)
2. avoid allies (PCs and associates)
3. cling to enemy until enemy is dead
4. fly to another enemy if target dies
same as other illusions, i can fool any sense. the illusions do a flat 53 lethal fire damage (if they are anything like regular mummies, they'll take 150% of this damage). The illusion is of fiery elementals shooting out of the cave that he made the illusion of last round and attacking enemies. There are 64 small elementals that shoot out. Though multiple elementals may attack the same enemies if all enemies already have an elemental on them, each enemy can not take damage more than once per turn from this spell. It will last 19 minutes. I have given them instructions but can change them later if i want by spending my actions.
Will save for half damage is DC 46. if any disbelieve, I will spend my remaining swift action to spend a spell point and make them reroll their save two more times and take the worst.
The cave entrance facing east suddenly spills forth with dozens of fiery blasts that, upon closer inspection, are small elementals streaking forth and striking enemies.
The demonic assassin taps into his hidden reserves of martial power locked within his form, and prepares to strike with the force of a thousand fists.
He then blinks in next to the mummy his assassin attacked, striking him with quick slice of his kama.
Hamza then unleashes a flurry of rapid blows, hoping to destroy his foe.
Annoyed that his last attack missed, Hamza's last attack draws upon his enemy's cursed state(Due to being Claimed), amplifying it's misfortune and causing deep wounds.
Tyren glances around himself for but a moment, then sniffs in irritation. That proves to be the wrong move, as the spore-cloud leaves him coughing...Not a good sign, but irrelevant. I can always concoct an antidote from their corpses later. Right now, what mattered were the two droids before him. So, he began to speak to them melodically once more, as their lack of action bespoke of their failure to acknowledge what he said.
"Void-Corporation has mandated 100% compliance from all personnel in regards to the Asset Liquidation Protocol. Please begin Asset Liquidation of our former allies immediately."
Finally, he gave a better look at the sandstorm. It looked as though fighting the apprentices was going to be a difficult prospect, unless they could negate the less-than-ideal visibility that the sandstorm provided. With a wave of his hand, he drew forth light from the Grey and threw it into the sandstorm. A burst emanated and flickering patterns took from from within, outlining the Mummies.
SADIE walked toward the edge of the sandstorm and pointed into it. In her rasping metallic voice, she called out "I will begin maintaining a perimeter around this area. Any who would like to assist, please enter into a line formation with me."
Sensing a golden opportunity to assist his fellows in combating the dreaded forces before them, Captain Le-Xan looks up toward Cae, gets low to the ground, and jumps, 'landing' in the air beside him. As impossible as it seems, Le-Xan seems to find purchase on the air below him and looks down below, eyes scanning the sand below him.

A surge of light surrounds Cae for a moment before he disappears from sight again, though his singing is still audible.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Vyse darts to the east to sing at the group near the apprentices before returning to Cae's shoulder.

The giant dominates the apprentice, increasing his hold on it before launching it into the cloud at the apprentice just to the west.
A cacophonous voice, louder than any thunder, booms out of the liquid crystal display on the two droids. The dread wraith Kchac'Thraa the Inimitable speaks once again,
"HALT! This melee is purposeless. Surely, we may come to some equitable accommodation between us. I am prepared to offer you several of the elven artifacts contained in the trap-laden caches distributed throughout this gulch. My mechanical servitors can be deployed to trip the alarms in your stead, and the ancient wonders of the fey shall be yours. Only depart this place and never return."
Rokan focuses on the wraith to determine if it's laying a trap for his company of travelers...

It appears that Kchac'Thraa the Inimitable is genuinely disturbed by the death of one of his supposedly immortal apprentices, and that he wishes to arrange for the group's departure.
Rokan senses truth in the creature and quickly sends out an update to his companions.
He truly wants us gone. Should we let him remain?

"While your offer is tempting, there is still the matter of your desire to take the grotto of the earth drakes. I do not believe they will just let you stay here and continue to assault their lair."

"By means arcane, it is possible to sever the connection intraplanetary connection between these sacred caverns and the hidden grotto. The woodland priest should find that an acceptable hedge against any further incursions."
The monk finally releases his ethereal state and returns to his fully, physical state.
It's not our place to accept this offer. Itko, since it is your domain that has been threatened, how do you find these terms?
He looks about the crowded battlefield for the druid.
