Almost as soon as it began, the roaring gale in the center of the room quiets, but there remains no immediate sign of Tenebrynn. The gnome, unseen, crouches low to the ground, waiting for the thorny derro to show itself again.

Tristain, still shaken, cannot properly focus his mind, but he still has his words...but very few words come to mind.
Looking down from above, he tries to get one of the derro to attack its own companions. Tristain shares the fear in his mind.

Starflit grunts as the creepy construct punches her twice, almost certainly cracking a rib. The slight healing from her judgment helps a bit, but the inquisitor knows she'll have to be more accurate with her own attacks if she wants to beat the thing.

Al moves alongside Kyffin and adds his own attacks against the group of images while wiping more dirt on his wounds.
Round 3
Avoiding Al and Kyffin's blades, the derro appears in a multitude of images, two of which Kyffin promptly dispels with thrusts of his blade. His third thrust finds the creature itself, though, and is enough to send the last two images to the ground, where one flickers out as the other dies.
Al, deprived of his first choice of targets, closes with the construct, but manages to hit only a loose shred of "flesh," cutting it free without doing any real harm. Starflit has more luck, the starknife cutting long gouges into the creature. Still, it lets out another roar, and lashes out both at the inquisitor and Al! Starflit manages to duck aside, but Al's not so lucky .
Tenebrynn looks around furiously for the remaining derro, but can't find it -- even after the swearing pain as its sword thrusts through her chest twice! Tenebrynn can tell she's somewhere south of her, from the spatters of her own blood on the sword, but a moment later they're flicked off the blade.

The derro, still covered with vicious thorns, suddenly appears as Kyffin casts.

Albert is bashed, then stabbed, and the light fades from his eyes. The familiar man shifts, his skin changing, twisting, stretching...
...then his limbs elongate and a gray hand traces dirt over the fresh wounds with clawed, alien fingers. the feral howl rips at the thorn shielded derro. "Not today, little thing." not-Albert hisses at the creature. More dirt swiftly wipes across his wounds, then the curve blade snakes out with unnatural speed.
Tristain eyes focus, then refocus, seeing things through his panic. He closes his eyes and bonks.

Round 4
As Kyffin purges the derro's invisibility, Tenebrynn and Al turn their attention to her, slashing her a few times, though Al again takes some punishment himself from the thorns covering her skin . Still, she looks bloodied, but her wounds are actually closing and healing slightly. Shaking off Tristain's spell, she steps away from Tenebrynn and Al and pulls out a vial and downs it, and her form seems to waver as if perhaps she's not standing quite where it looks like she is.
Starflit, meanwhile, continues to battle the construct, but it proves harder to hit with her starknife than she expects. It continues to lash out at the inquisitor, fists simply powering through her attempts at defense and any protection provided by her armor.

Al's sudden and unexpected transformation causes Starflit to gasp in shock and horror...and to momentarily take her eyes off her own foe. The construct lands two more powerful blows on her, definitely breaking the ribs she'd previously feared only bruised or cracked. Her fight-or-flight instinct tries to kick in, but something's off: the others (except perhaps for Tristain) don't seem surprised or alarmed at Al's sudden change into...a doppelganger??!! And Al himself has not turned on the party as might be expected; instead he presses the attack against their foes.
In the end, Tristain's spell drives the inquisitor to keep taking the fight to the construct. As before, however, Starflit's first strike is accurate but her two quick follow-ups are wild. She takes a cautious step to the north, hoping her opponent won't come after her to finish her off.

Tenebrynn, one eye horrendously bloodshot from a burst vessel and the opposite ear oozing a steady stream of blood, frowns and narrows her eyes at what's left of their foes. With a grunt, she draws the winds in the room into a churning funnel around her as she pushes through the strain her abilities pour into her small frame. Aware in the back of her mind that she's approaching her limit, the gutsy gnome falls back on the forms she's used regularly in the past.

Albert stalks the creatures as it moves away. His limbs move quickly and fluidly, unlike the old man's steps, and his blade continues to snake forward biting at it.
Tristain continues to bonk, to frightened to really help in the fight below.
Round 5
As Tristain bonks, Kyffin closes on the thorned woman, delivering a perfect strike to her chest -- only it's not where he expected, and he catches nothing but air! Tenebrynn's blast, however, is more accurate, and it sizzles through the air next to the half-orc into their foe. She looks badly burned, but remains on her feet as Al closes in, though the old man's own wounds are still bearing a mark, and he's unable to land a blow. She dodges away again, slashing Kyffin .
Behind them, Starflit continues to battle the construct, who continues to wail. She lands one blow, but is distracted by Al's strange form, and again can't truly fall into her stride. And that could be a fatal mistake as she stumbles and can't defend herself against the creature's fists, which slam first into her chest and then her head, and everything goes black.

"NO! She's new! and NICE! Tenebrynn screams, the sound ripping through her throat but then getting lost in the sudden crash of a thunderstorm. Burning through all she has left to muster as well as the entirety of her meager reserve, Tenebrynn's emotions get away from her and a storm crashes down upon the thorny derro.
As the peal of thunder passes, Tenebrynn rises back to her feet, brushing a fresh stream of blood from beneath one nostril. Her voice is eerily still and quiet and her hair now stark white once more. She turns slowly to the construct, "You will regret that."

Albert curses as necessity forces him to abandon the attacks on the derro and turn his attention to the construct and Starflit. "Settle down, Mun, we can take you to your friend once we eliminate the evil derro." Expecting the blow from Mun, Al moves to Starflit and wipes healing dirt over her wounds.
Starflit's eyes open slowly--almost casually--as Al heals some of her grievous wounds. Her eyes fill with terror as she takes in the man's contorted form and she instinctively recoils. The young woman quickly masters her emotions, however, having been taught that actions speak louder than words...or appearances.
"Thank you," she tells Al before her eyes dart around to scan the battlefield.
We're not out of this mess just yet!
Round 6
Kyffin can't seem to find the mark on his target, but Tenebrynn's blast hits her like a ton of bricks. She staggers slightly, but keeps her feet, though blood now spills from her ears. Still, she steps closer to the gnome and stabs her once with her blade .
Behind that battle, Al moves past the construct and stands over Starflit's blow, taking a pounding of his own as he heals the group's newest acquaintance. He's barely recovered when two more fists slam into him, one catching him right across the jaw, snapping his neck back. He collapses into a boneless heap on top of Starflit.

Tenebrynn turns to regard the derro after being struck, the gnome’s face a mask of emotionless stoicism. ”You survived.” The words are simple and her tone flat, neither doing much to convey any surprise Tenebrynn might be feeling. She shrugs, as lightning begins to crackle along the length of her right arm. ”Tit for tat.” The gnome brings her arm up in a sudden slash then, the crackling arcs of electricity forming together into a blade that extends several inches past her knuckles.

Kyffin delays until after Tenebrynn to see if the nasty creature survived the blast. He knows he'll have more luck against the construct, so he hopes she dropped it!
Albert withstands the first two punches, but the third catches him in the jaw and he drops like a sack of potatoes on top of Starflit.

”Damnation!” Kyffin hollers as Al goes down. That damn construct is tearing us apart.
To boost himself, he swiftly converts a Resist Energy Communal to a Cure Serious Wounds to start off.
He then 5’ steps and unloads on the damn construct as best he can.

Round 7
Tenebrynn's lightning dagger stabs the derro, who convulses, thorns slashing the badly beaten-up gnome even as the strange woman collapses.
As Starflit sneakily heals Al, Kyffin closes in on the construct, blade chopping through it. Despite the damage it's clearly taken with strips of "skin" shredded, it still stays on its feet, and turns its attention -- with another wail of anguish -- toward the half-orc. Its fists pound into him, cracking ribs.
Tenebrynn turns from the fallen derro and dashes up beside Kyffin and the distraught construct. ”Enough.” Her words are emotionless and flat as she cuts at the construct in the same manner she used against her previous foe.

Knowing that trying to stand up is almost certain to get her knocked back down--perhaps permanently--Starflit improvises her thinking.
Maybe there's a weak spot down around its ankles! If I take one out, maybe it won't be able to balance correctly and will be easy pickings for the others!
Swiftly invoking her bane power again, Starflit desperately tries to take out an ankle.

Albert finds himself crumpled on the floor as the battle continues above him. He wipes dirt over his wounds while retrieving his blade and adds a desperate slash at the construct's shin from his prone position.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Kyffin slashes desperately, finally managing to bring the blade down in a long arc across the creature's had.
As it dies, the half-orc, Tenebrynn, Tristain and Al hear a quiet voice in their heads and see images of a fungus rapidly growing and then collapsing in on itself before growing anew. The voice says, “It reaches its tendrils through the minds of those who know of it. It reaches beyond the veil of dreams. Hurry.”
Tenebrynn mechanically wipes her forearm across the lower half of her face, sweeping twin trickles of blood into a smear across her cheek. Her one eye, bloodshot from burst vessels, looks even worse in contrast to her now platinum hair.
She helps Al and Starflit up, then looks up the ladder at Tristain, her countenance stony. She states flatly, ”You should help next time.”
