The elf spots Spiritbreaker through the fire, instantly recalling fights from a week ago!
Jakoby moves into the flank and while she does not decapitate the spirit, she manages to tear into its incorporeal form
Things are looking rough over there, the last rune can wait. Time to join the fray. The elf braces himself before bolting through the fire, flames clinging to his invisible form. "As the ambassador from one fallen world, I will not allow you to take this one! May the blade of my newfound allies strike true! Dropping his gear at his feat, the elf suddenly becomes strikingly visible as he draws forth Spiritbreaker in both hands, slashing upwards in a mighty arc as his equipment clatters onto the ground. As his hood falls back, the flames of the ring illuminate a fierceness hence unseen deep within his eyes as he condemns his adversary.

Astrid swiftly patches up some of her and Jakoby's wounds, but then turns too quickly to Strike the Spirit and misses.
Amada wills himself through the circle of flames; though his mettle is challenged as the flames and negative energy lash out of him. The energy seems to almost prevent him from moving but he manages to get through and close rapidly on the Spirit. . After having cast his preparations and drawn Spiritbreaker, Amada's mighty arc nearly misses at first but then perfectly predicted the Spirit's movements and connects with the wraith-like creature who was partially invigorated from draining Jakoby's life

From the ground position, Jakoby watches in splendor as the mighty lifts itself up seemingly by it's own volition and strikes the Red Spirit straight through it's shadowy center!!
Old Deadeye - you bastard! - finally got up off your ass, no?
It is mid-prayer that Amada Caradulyn becomes suddenly visible again, causing our ulfen hero's eyes to momentarily spasm in disbelief - Has it been YOU all along!? - before the reality of the situation settles in, where now Gunda Kolkind's cheeks to flush red, as if by some social horror, her colleagues - and especially the elf - could actually hear her thoughts, and thus, her ridiculous misconception. She collects then composes herself, and speaks "Got a mind of her own, she does" in reference to the blade.
With a graceful kip up, Jakoby is on her feet, and in the same motion, she whirls her hands towards the chain stowed at her ranger-twin's side, sliding it out from it's secured position with a whipping motion. This is an interesting implement. One practice swing and she clutches the middle with her second hand, tumbling over the shifted center of gravity, and lashing outways with the blunt swinging weapon!

Ro looks at Greezgux. I do not want to lick that. He thinks to himself, having witnessed him "heal" Zac earlier. Master is okay. Feeling a little better here, he continues his assault of the Red Spirit!
Lying in wait, the cunning bird carves into the spirit's materiality with his beak, glowing with residual primal power!
Unfortunately Jakoby is still warming up with the Meteor Hammer and fails to leverage it correctly against the spirit . Ro, however, manages to sink his incredibley powerful beak into the spirit's form. Despite some resistance, he manages to get through and cause some pain! . Notably the Spirit's energy barrier did not backlash against Amada nor Ro when it was struck, and no longer seems to be protecting the spirit with the corresponding rune connection having been disabled.
The Spirit shifts his focus to Amada now, "Wretched thing! Sabotage my ritual, and dare strike me?!" The spirit's anger apparent, but the subsequent strike seems somewhat lackluster as the Spirit narrowly hits Amada. The spectral claw still begins to suck the life out of Amada all the same.
The claw reaps enough life from Amada to not only make Amada weaker, but make the Spirit corporeal! Each of you watch as the Spirit's body continues to solidify as it booms laughter over the sounds of the crackling ritual flames. It seems with its new body it has been reinvigorated with life. The Demoniac then reaches down to grab Amada's staff , and then turns to Astrid to strike her with its claw. Unfortunately it's claw gets lost completely in the mist surrounding the shieldmaiden.

Quinoline nods at Greezgux and says some occult words.
"I've got a special ghost charge for you," Quinoline beams. She Quick Alchemys a sticky ghost charge and throws it.
"Go fetch!" Quinoline heaves the bomb all the way across the ring of fire.
Stupid, Quinoline! Why'd you tell it to fetch a ghost charge? Should have said it was a bottled soul.
|
Greezgux picks up the remaining rune and just smashes it. "That's should be the last one!" With that he dives headfirst through the flames, biting at the demoniac being. "Let's see what you taste like?" He licks his lips and begins to slobber all over the ground.

Astrid's shield bashes into the Spirit as it tries to pick up Amada's staff, her shield catches its target this time and seemingly does more damage than previously!
Quinoline's bomb trajectory is slightly off-- making it arc right into the giant gaping hole.
Greezgux successfully smashes the remaining glyphs with his foot, as the blue troll swipes at his leg with its sharp claws . As the final rune is smashed, the electric filled connection disburses and the spirit's previously long arms seem to shorten. . Greezgux pays little attention to the ritual flames and is seemingly overcome by his hunger to the point of forgetting to open his massive maw.
Meanwhile, Zac's Ring of the Ram emits a blast of force that hits the Demoniac perfectly -- causing it to move 30 feet and look like it did a chunk of damage to its new body.
The trolls on the outside of the circle now look towards the ritual circle, also slobbering all over the ground as they continue to thrash against the heavy chains

Wary of the troll, Ro flies clockwise around the Red Spirit, positioning himself just outside of it's reach, and harrying it's now-corporeal eyes with his razor sharp claws!
◆) Fly

The bird pecks at your foes’ eyes when you create an opening. Until the start of your next turn, your Strikes that damage a creature that your bird threatens also deal 1d4 persistent bleed damage, and the target is dazzled until it removes the bleed damage. If your bird is nimble or savage, the persistent bleed damage increases to 2d4.
Jakoby flanks from the other side now with increased reach, whipping Amada's meteor hammer around her shins in a circle, jumping into the air crosswise, and snapping the blunt end right into it's center!

"Ah there it is" at finally finding her feet as it were wielding the strange weapon.

Amada lets out a chuckle as he watches the Demoniac cyclops get blasted away. "Where'd all of that bluster go? Try and strike me with your own hands only to run away so soon? Don't make me laugh." Putting a hand to his mouth, the elf belts out a sharp whistle, spurring Necalli to action as she rides Ro's wake to flank the Demoniac's new position. As she rends into the beast's back, Amada flips his Trident into the air with a swift kick. The elf rapidly inscribes glyphs into the air before snatching the weapon, hand now glowing with primal energy that expands to encompass the weapon. "I'll make you regret ever returning to this world, hellion!" With a shout, the elf looses his trident with a thunderous blast as it accelerates rapidly towards its target.

"Meteor Hammer. Not sure where the weapon originates from on this plane, but it was quite the popular weapon around my corner of the Tapestry."
Jakoby bashes the meteor hammer right against the demoniac while Ro pecks the creature's single eye.
Necalli capitalizes on Jakoby's distraction and begins biting the demonaic's neck with her vicious beak! . Amada's thrown trident, however, soars through the air and narrowly misses the now corporeal servant of Urxehl.
Astrid also charges in but fails to hit the creature and in her attempt to trip the demonaic she actually gets pulled down to the ground herself!
The Demoniac laughs and speaks in a now-raspy voice over the din of the ritual, "Mock all you want, Mortals, but you are too late! shall rise and reign once again!"
The demoniac seems unbothered by the damage done to its eye by Ro, and instead swats it's free-claw at Necalli first, perhaps knocking her out of the air in an attempt to drain her life . After retracting the claw, the Demoniac strikes next at Ro, this time narrowly missing Ro's neck and instead striking his chest. Yet another attempt to drain life from the ever-elusive eagle. . Another strike at Ro looks pitiful as the demoniac claws the open air. .
As the Demoniac flails its free claw in the air, its single, glowing eye begins to bleed. It is at this point that the Demoniac looks fairly injured.

Greezgux continues to chase after the demonaic as he bites at its heels. Meanwhile the little wicker doll wants to go nowhere near the flames, afraid of being incinerated.

The Demoniac nearly takes down Necalli, but she hangs onto just enough of her life to stay in the fray. Ro manages to resist giving up his life force once again.
Zac's then fires two arrows -- the first at the Demoniac but goes right between the demoniac's legs; the second shot pierces the trolls skin.
Greezgux manages to clench his maw around the demoniac's heel and turn the tables by draining some life from the creature. Strangely, it tastes a little bit like raw bird. The second bite is not as fortunate as greegux's teeth manage to closer to Jakoby than the Spirit.
Quinoline re-enters the fire without injury thanks to her ring that absorbs the few flames in her way. Quinoline's scientific theory lacks a control, but she proves her hypothesis correct as this time her concoction flies across the ritual circle and lands on the Demoniac's head! Electricity sparks and begins running, continuously, over the Demoniac who appears to be somewhat staggered by the attack.
The arrow stuck in white's skin seems to pop itself out of the wound as the white troll seemingly heals itself. The rest of the trolls continue to hopelessly thrash against their heavy chains.

"Urxehl or not, you won't be around to see it!" Amada becomes a flurry of motion as his trident continues to re-manifest in his hand with the sound of thunder. Each throw makes use of his building momentum to prepare for the next, hurling a volley of forked steel at his monolithic foe as Necalli continues to tear into the creature's spine.

360 degrees.
720 degrees.
Now 1080 degrees!
Like a tornado, Jakoby's acceleration peaks, as she activates the use of both her hands now at the helm of Amada's strange implement "Meteor Hammer, huh?" she pauses "Then let a rain of firey rocks fall plummet!" And with that, she let's a flurry of swinging chains!
Diving sideways and backwards, Ro reciprocates from the opposite side!
She casts a curious eye at the trolls' restraints -
Astrid unfortunately is unable to demoralize the giant, nor strike it. Her shield is thrusted forward but the Demoniac easily dodges out of the way .
As the Spirit dodges out of the way, it fails to see Amada's Trident fly across the ritual circle; The trident penetrates the demoniac's new gut and is subsequently ripped out by the returning rune . The second and third throws of the Trident are predicted and both times the demoniac dodges out of the way . Necalli takes advantages of the distraction though manages to bite into the creature's neck with more of its blood spilling to the ground. The Demoniac manages to predict the subsequent talon strike
Like Amada, Jakoby is able to make use of the distracted demoniac. While the demoniac is paying attention to Necalli, Jakoby swings the meteor hammer with tremendous force that hits directly in the demoniac's gut where Amada's trident opened a wound. The creature grunts in pain as the strike hits with so much force that it knocks the demoniac to the ground with little resistance. The demoniac, from the ground, somehow manages to get out of the way of the second and third swings of the meteor hammer. . Ro dives in and bites the demoniac's already bleeding eye. The Demoniaic nearly shrieks at this attack. It is on the ground, eye bleeding, body coursed with continual electrical charges, and several large wounds in its new-found body.
The Demoniac flips itself up into a standing position, "This body is frail and weak like you, but it is a small price to pay for the "

Astrid's sword cuts through the Demoniac's neck completely as the cyclops tried to bring itself to a stand. The head and body both fall back to the ground. Almost immediately the demoniac's body begins to burn up in Abyssal flames leaving nothing behind. The surrounding firestorm then abruptly ends and the ritual circle flames begin to flicker violently.

"I think he means he's sacrificing himself to make Urxehl rise."
Quinoline is bearish on an imminent victory.
"I'm glad that's over."
Astrid sheathes her sword, pulls out a potion and consumes it.
She then turns to her friend Quinoline. "Stop worrying Quin. You sound like an old woman." The Ulfen warrior glances at Jakoby and winces. "Err...No offense, Amma.

Greezgux stands up tall as the flames flicker off. "URXEHL weak and tastes awful." As he talks his healing spittle coats the ground around him.

The party enjoys the brief respite to patch up any immediate wounds, but the ritual flames continue to flicker all the while. Zac continues shooting arrows into the trolls and only takes a second to activate his healers gloves.
The rift in the center of the circle remains open and seems to ever so slowly begin to close. One by one the smaller runes around the inside of the ritual circle begin to extinguish, and simultaneously the bound trolls burst into flames, and then explode.
Suddenly, the ground violently trembles and an enormous rust-red clawed hand emerges from the rift and grabs hold of the ledge as Urxhel pushes his monumental will through the boundary of planes. (art). The runes on the ground flare to life, this time with black flame.
As the portal opens, Eliza rallies agents to do what they can to disable the runes of black flame. You see Eando and another group of agents on the sidelines battling against Brimorak demons and holding them at bay.

The hand wastes no time and immediately begins seeking out vengeance. The fingers seem as though they can reach impossible distances, and sure enough, one finger reaches out towards Zac and slices him clean open with a simple flick of the wrist.
The hand continues to act quickly, fingers reaching out to to Amada, Ro, and Astrid. Amada just barely fails to get out of the way as one finger scratches him from his shoulder all the way across his chest. . Ro deftly dodges out of the finger heading towards him . Finally, one finger reaches towards the mist-covered shieldmaiden and looks like it will hit her....

From the sideline, Eando Kline has recruited Knab to assist in battling back a second and third wave of Brimorak demons, punching them with his gauntleted fist and shanking them with his clan dagger.

Zac is much too far away for Greezgux to reach in time for a heal. "I always wanted to taste a Demon Lord." He heals Amada for the little bit he can as he tries to bite off one of the fingers. Greezgux begins to feel this is all his fault by saying out loud how awful the false demon lord tasted.

Quinoline believes that this hand was once described of being able to fling itself in the air and bury challengers into the ground. She does not recall anything regarding weaknesses or resistances.
Jakoby thinks that this thing is similar to a Crawling Hand and will respond to any form of movement. She does not recall of any special types of defenses.

Gripping his sealing wound and nodding reassuringly to Greezgux, the elf lets out a low growl of fury. Why do so many desire to destroy THIS blasted rock? Corrupt governments, criminals, those I can understand, but this self-destructive nihilism at the core of so many blasted cultures here is irremissible... Gripping his staff and trident in each hand, the elf yells at the top of his lungs, "You're not the first would-be world-ender I've vanquished, beast! Necalli, just like with Qxal! Surround it!"
