The yeti lord's ugly mug rolls around the battlefield. The yetis retreat in disarray.
*JRHM picks up the Yeti's head and throws it to the Tsar's feet* You are next!!. *charges the Tsar*
The armored giant spews fire and buzzsaw blades everywhere.
His eyes flare red
RAWR!
In a flash and puff of smoke, a vaguely humanoid figure at least nine feet tall appears. It bears some resemblance to a troll, but whereas a troll tends to be wiry, this thing ripples with muscles. It has an enormous maul clutched in its hands, and is surrounded by a shroud of flame.
Kill the enemy of the Candle Lighter!
It starts to smash its way towards the trweant and his allies.
The slender dryad cluthes her grandfather's bark
Ware the foe! She cries
She runs to meet the new foe, a knobbed quarterstaff wreathed in leafy growth in her slender hands.
The Winds answer to the priestess's call again and swirl in a deadly vortex around the Steel Tsar, pinning him in place for a moment.
Hit him! Quick! I can't hold this long!
Wasp quickly sends another blizzard spell at the Tsar.
"LYNORA!!! USE THE VIAL!!! OTHERWISE, WE'RE DEAD!!!"
The minions driven back, the field clear for the moment, the enemy in sight. JH rushes toward the behemoth, hammer held high.
YES! DIE! All Enemies of Lord Candlelighter shall die!
The horrible monster smashes aside the last defender, and stands face to face with the Emperor.
A small frog staggers from the crash site, clutching a small pink rodent
What happened.. where am I? He mutters dazedly
Wasp quickly sends another blizzard spell at the Tsar.
"LYNORA!!! USE THE VIAL!!! OTHERWISE, WE'RE DEAD!!!"
"I Can't! Not yet!"
The troll knocks the dryad aside, crushing her spine
Grandfather ...she gasps

No! Seeing his grandchild rushing to the enemy, Emperor decides to strike first. He summons ice elementals to surround the beast. They arrive too late, but attack nonetheless.
The flame troll swings the maul and smashes the sapling out of the way, to lie crumpled and blackened a short way off. It is not clear if she yet lives.
You send your saplings to fight me, instead of confront me yourself? You Scared? Because GOOD, you should be.
"The power does not wear out, you fool! We need it now! 'No power of teh Jacks can harm it', remember??? But teh power is not of the Jacks! Now use it!!!
The Winds answer to the priestess's call again and swirl in a deadly vortex around the Steel Tsar, pinning him in place for a moment.
Hit him! Quick! I can't hold this long!
*Hits the Tsar with the sword while Lynora has him held*
The wasp's blizzard freezes the Tsar, but he breaks the ice off and slices at the small wasp.
he roars
"The power does not wear out, you fool! We need it now! 'No power of teh Jacks can harm it', remember??? But teh power is not of the Jacks! Now use it!!!
"You don't know what it's going to unleash, fool! I do! It's not time yet! When it is time, everybody better get the hey out of the blast area. About a mile or so oughta do it!"
Wasp barely dodges, and sends a giant spear of ice at the Tsar.
"HURRY!!!"
The elder flames with which the flame troll burns reduce the ice paraelementals to clouds of steam, as they lay fists on it. From somewhere within the scalding fog floud that surrounds that part of the field, the emperor can hear the flame troll taunting him.
Funny tree. Ice things only tickle. I coming for you, to burn you, and burn you good.
Smashing aside the ice and JRHM's blade..he spews fire from his cannon, blanketing the field in star-hot flame

Fear? You shall know fear before you die spawn of death.
The treant's form begins to change, faster than mere druids can. In his place stands a 20 foot Dire Bear in armor of leaves, holding a runestaff crackling with the energy of Life. his eyes burn with green fire.
Your fires mean nothing. Your regeneration means nothing. Your form means nothing. You are empty.
The curse strikes the Troll.
Smashing aside the ice and JRHM's blade..he spews fire from his cannon, blanketing the field in star-hot flame
*JRHM backs up due to the pain of the flame, however he is not severely injured *

The fog blows away, in the flame of the Steel Tsar's cannon, and the flame troll is revealed standing only feet away from the emperor, maul raised.
Edit:
That right, tree-thing. Empty, and HUNGRY.

The shields of wind that LJ created for the Jacks keep most of the fire damage at bay
JH, hit that thing! The wasp thinks Candle Lighter will be here soon, and I'm gonna have to do something awful when he shows up.
Malice Jack runs at the troll.
YOU I CAN KILL! He cries gleefully, swinging his M16 like a club
Smashing aside the ice and JRHM's blade..he spews fire from his cannon, blanketing the field in star-hot flame
The pain of Spring Sapling's wound hits JH. The flames from the Tsar hit him. He becomes the fire. White hot and deadly. His hammer glows first red, then white, then green. It pulses as if it is alive. It's blinding. JH hurls at the Tsar's chest.
Yelling at the hammer as it flies You wanted a sacrifice?! Well here's one!
The Steel Tsar bellows and lays about with his buzzsaw hands, slicing into the Jacks with preternatural speed.
I been cursed by Abyssal Lords and GODS, tree-bear thing. Your curses just tickle.
The flame-troll closes with the Emperor.
Whilst it is soon clear that the emperor is bigger than the flame-troll, and he swats it into the ground several times, the flame troll just gets up again, and the outerplanar flames of his aura soon begin to wear through the emperor's protections.
Suddenly, Candle Lighter appears, right next to the Tsar. He smiles.
"Miss me?"
She sends her winds at the Steel Tsar once more to slow his attacks.
JH's hammer strikes the Tsar straight on, its glowing runes caving in his chest
The construct paws at the embedded hammer, then screeches, a rusty tearing sound
The armored behemoth is suddenly enveloped in vines, then the entire throbbing green mass explodes, shards of black adamantine flying all over the battlefield. The Tsar's helmet rolls to JH's feet
The Wasp tumbles back in shock. Then he turns to Lynora.
"TAKE THE DAMNED VIAL!!! OR WE WILL ALL DIE!!!"
LJ goes pale when she sees Candle Lighter. Reluctantly she pulls out the vial the kobold gave her and unstoppers it.
Forgive me.
She downs the contents of the vial

Silly unnatural thing. True Life flows within me. Old Life. Older than even your child gods. Older than your shadow worlds. I serve that which gave Life to them.
The Emperor tears into the flesh of the beast.

Lynora:
Suddenly, Candle Lighter appears, right next to the Tsar. He smiles.
"Miss me?"
MASTER!
The Flame Troll gets up again.Look! I got bear and jack here. If I can just make them lie still, I drag them back home to the Abyss to eat.
JH's hammer strikes the Tsar straight on, its glowing runes caving in his chest
The construct paws at the embedded hammer, then screeches, a rusty tearing sound
The armored behemoth is suddenly enveloped in vines, then the entire throbbing green mass explodes, shards of black adamantine flying all over the battlefield. The Tsar's helmet rolls to JH's feet
In a voice very different than his own I am so much more...
Lie still, stupid bear!
The flame-troll's injuries close up once more.
You not pretty lady with the ancient light. You not hurt me like that.
Power rushes into LJ. It burns. The taint of it is unmistakable. If she had been mistaken, if the wards Sunny G had given her proved to be insufficient...
It was too late to worry about any of that now.
The flame-troll is pretty much ignoring Malice Jack's attacks too.
No power of this world which you belong to hurt me much. I creature of other worlds.
Lie still, stupid bear!
The flame-troll's injuries close up once more.
You not pretty lady with the ancient light. You not hurt me like that.
Pretty lady? Would you prefer that?
The Emperor's form changes to one strikingly similar to his granddaughter. She still grapples with the troll. Though much smaller, the woman is more intimidating than the dire bear.
You seek ancient light? I think I can help.
Let me show you my 'World'.
The small woman begins to glow. Bright as the noon sun. The light fades and both she and the troll are gone.
The flame-troll is pretty much ignoring Malice Jack's attacks too.
No power of this world which you belong to can hurt me. I creature of other worlds.
Suddenly, Meepo leaps out and tosses a small sticky grenade at him.
"That ain't of this world, pal. Got that through teh World Serpent Inn!"
Power rushes into LJ. It burns. The taint of it is unmistakable. If she had been mistaken, if the wards Sunny G had given her proved to be insufficient...
It was too late to worry about any of that now.
Remembering LJ's warnings JH reluctantly summons the hammer and beats a hasty retreat.
Jacks! Regroup a bit away from this 'reunion'.
LJ's eyes glow an unsettling blue, as her entire posture changes. The smile that creeps onto her face is not a nice one.
"I know something you don't know," she says provocatively to the dracolich.

Wasp carefully flies a little ways away and puts up a ward.
