Zagathoth reels from the adhukait's blows and the baykok's arrows! He roars in rage and pain! GGRRRAAAAAAGHH!!!
The spirit Naga, a hideous aberration with a fanged humanoid head on a long serpentine body, slithers up to Zagathoth to flank him with the adhukait asura, and tries to finish the orc with a bite to his back...

[Ooc]Will vs DC 21 crushing despair resists!
The spirit naga hisses at Habiba and mocks her with a display of mock weeping, followed by evil laughter...
In Japanese: Oh, woe is me! I'm sooo sad! HAHAHAHAHA!!
Habiba invades the Asura's mind!
The adhukait screams from its twin mouths and shakes its two heads in mental pain!
AAAAAIIIIEEEE!!!
Nineteen days in the future, Sultan Murad II and Queen Semiramis are frustrated in their attempts to teleport aboard the Black Pyramid of Kronos and wrest control of it from the Rabbi, and sorely vexed when the massive artifact vanishes from the clearing north of Kiev... The Sultan commands his scouts to spread out and search for the Pyramid...
In Aramaic to Murad: It could be anywhere in time and space, my love... It is futile to seek it with the eyes of mortal scouts... Let us return to my sanctuary and seek it by other means! I shall commune with Dagon, and ask the demonlord of the Abyssal Seas where we might find the Black Pyramid!
The immortal dark elf Queen of the Assyrian Empire takes the Sultan's hand and casts teleport to whisk them away to her secret sanctuary in the ruins of ancient Babylon...
At the same time that the Sultan of the Ottoman Turks and the Queen of the long-gone Assyrian Empire are seeking the Black Pyramid by magical communion with the demonlord Dagon, Cardinal Lucius D'Borja is investigating the Church of Lucifer with a new band of stalwart servants of the Church.
Lucius' nephew, Rodrigo D'Borja, a young paladin of Saint Michael, has received his uncle's summons in Seville, and has departed aboard a Spanish caravel for Rome.
Although hunting down the Antichrist and any members of the Church of Lucifer that can be found is still the cardinal's primary objective, the spectre of the Black Pyramid of Kronos, and the obvious hold it has over his former companions, weighs heavily on him...
At the same moment the Champions are engaged in battle against the trio of oriental monsters, a meteor plummets through the firmament toward Earth, where it will fall into the Sea of Japan at 9:00 tomorrow morning, causing devastating tsunami and tidal waves to flood the coasts of Asia, and awakening Gojira, King of Kaiju, from centuries of hibernation on the seabed...
In his secret stronghold under the Roman Catacombs, Nero communes with his evil father, the Fallen One, Lucifer, also known as Satan, and learns that the Black Pyramid of Kronos has had the very effect the Archdevil had hoped for... The Champions have been divided over the potent artifact!
Lord P winks out of site and come back behind Adhukait, he looks at a rock on the beach about the right size, studies Adhukait Asura then sends the rock at the side of her head. Adding a little bit of magic to make it hurt more.
Then he winks out of sight seeking another place to strike form.

The asura screams in pain from both mouths as the fey Lord's telekinetic projectile bounces off both heads!

The spirit naga is butchered by the orc's falchion and battered by the witch's hailstorm! Writhing in pain, it hisses, apparently close to falling...
The baykok realizes the battle is lost. And sees its hunting partners falling before the might of these interlopers from foreign realms... It knows the time has come to fire parting shots and retreat, or be destroyed...
It targets Zagathoth, unloading a deadly shot confirm that deals critical piercing damage plus negative damage!
It draws back its bowstring a second time, generating another lethal bone arrow... ...that misses...
It fires a third shot at Zagathoth , which also misses...
The spirit naga, on the verge of death, drops a fireball on herself in an act of vengeful self-destruction, which catches the baykok and naga as well as Johann, Zagathoth, and Ihrin in its blast!
Charred to a crisp by its own spell, the naga falls!

Blistered and smoking, but not yet dead, Zagathoth miraculously survives the blast...
The baykok, the last monster of the trio still standing, weathers the flames well...
As the heroes battle the three monstrous hunters on Honshu Island, the night sky over another island, halfway around the world, is lit up by the appearance of a meteor hurdling toward Earth...
From the shadows of a nearby banyan tree, two little fairies watch the spectacle of the battle on the beach between the three oriental monsters and the band of mortal barbarians (gaijin)...
Sylvan: Poor adhukait asura and spirit naga! Hahaha... Those gaijin are fierce indeed!

Sylvan: What do you mean poor adhukait asura and spirit naga!? Have you forgotten how many of our brothers and sisters those three horrors have hunted down and gobbled up!? I say, "way to go, gaijin! Kick their asses!!"

I am the last... I am the sole supreme hunter of Honshu Island!... All prey shall fall to me alone! I shall take ALL the spoils! But now I must away, for these gaijin are going to destroy me, as they did the others, unless I fly away...
His rage numbing the pain, and enlarged by Mwikali's witchcraft, Zagathoth turns on the baykok with savage fury, dropping Doomcrescent and pummeling the undead monster with his iron-hard fists!
*POW!*
*WHIFF!!*
Ihrin Strikes with her dagger, as the Baykok ignores her still.
Habiba targets the undead creature's mind, wrenching her thought patterns to align with its unsettling intelligence for a brief moment as she unleashes the telepathic assault.

The gaunt, gray archer staggers as Habiba blasts it with a mind thrust! Black, dead blood trickles from its nasal hole...
Ihrin Strikes with her dagger, as the Baykok ignores her still.
[Dice= AAO]1d20+10

The dagger sticks deep in the baykok, and it howls a ghastly howl! HHAAAOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Ihrin then spins stabbing out with her first strike followed by another stab from her other hand.

Ihrin's first strike punctures the baykok's chest! It wheezes, dead lung collapsed...
A rictus grin on its evil, skull-like face, the baykok accepts its inevitable destruction with a hideous, bloodcurdling cackle, and is determined to take at least one last kill before its fall...
It fires... at Zagathoth... missing!
Again! missing!
And again... ... confirm crits! plus negative energy damage!

The bone arrow sinks into Zagathoth's heart... The orc ferocity and the rage are not enough... He stops raging, a look of uncharacteristic peace on his bestial face... He looks down at the bone arrow sunk to the fletching in his heart... and sits down, closes his eyes, falls onto his back, and dies a heroic death.
[dice=perception]1d20+1
[dice=perception]1d20+1Alexei wanders towards the commotion when he hears Zagathoth loudly expressing concerns. He scowls when he spots the foolish fey releasing a prisoner, and carrying some device that appears to be from the future.
Lucius may have been right... we can’t let anyone stay on board for long, it seems...
Hurrying back to the helm, the Rabbi sits at the controls and promptly attempts the leap to Kyoto, two weeks ago... at night time... underwater, just off the coast (so the pyramid is obscured by the water, but within teleportation range).
In the Astral Plane, one of the immortal bythos aeons that were created to enforce the laws of time by El-Shaddai, and therefore made impartial, implacable, and relentless in their duty, receives the psychic impulse that tells it that the Divine Laws of Time have been broken by a mortal!
Forwards, yes. But never backwards. Backwards is an offense punishable by extermination! The one who calls himself The Rabbi has violated the Codex Tempus. He must be eradicated!
Relying on an innate sense that draws it toward the point in the time-space continuum of the Material Plane where violations occur, the bythos aeon begins to hunt through time and space for the Rabbi and the Black Pyramid of Kronos!
The bone arrow sinks into Zagathoth's heart... The orc ferocity and the rage are not enough... He stops raging, a look of uncharacteristic peace on his bestial face... He looks down at the bone arrow sunk to the fletching in his heart... and sits down, closes his eyes, falls onto his back, and dies a heroic death.
Lord P flow as fast as he could he wand on healing out to save Zagathoth, but he was too late. As he got to the brave Orc he could see the mortal soul was gone. Left to a place he would never know. Casting a spell he moved the body to the land of the fey where it would be held in myth. His life to become a heroes tail.

The body of the fallen hero vanishes in a flash of gold and green light, off to Tir Na Nog, where it will not decay, but will be as if he were only asleep for all of eternity...
There, fey embalmers entomb Zagathoth, Dragonslayer and Emir of Marrakech, along with all of his arms, armament, and personal treasure, within an amethyst coffin, and bury him in the Arboreal Highlands.
