Far away, two figures watch all this happen from the peak of a volcano. The smaller one moves to help, but the other stops him. "It isn't time."
"Now!" Frogskin shouts. The ghostly kittens appear behind the vast legions, led by the shaman. Kobolds and dwarves also appear from hiding, right under the enemy.
The Pigeons--or the Yugoloths--are also with the enemy.Other than the wraiths, the legion remains hidden within the brown fog.
The wraiths loose streamers of flames at the eagle riders, striking unerringly and driving a few from the sky.
The Steel Tsar urges his skeletal cat forward. He waves his massive green glowing greatsword over his head.
A roar greets him as the Army of the Damned surges forward.

The wraiths loose streamers of flames at the eagle riders, striking unerringly and driving a few from the sky.
The eagle riders let loose with a volley of positive energy arrows. The arrows fail to get past the black shields.
'They are warded!' an elf screams as he and his eagle fall to their deaths.
Beren roars out to the assembled Army of Life
The animals surge forward, Beren and Spring Sapling in the front.
"Now!" Frogskin shouts. The ghostly kittens appear behind the vast legions, led by the shaman. Kobolds and dwarves also appear from hiding, right under the enemy.

Frogskin shakes his head.
"No they aren't."The wraiths feel their wards fading.
Air elementals charged with positive energy rush forward to engage the wraiths.
Azuri'ith also enters the fray, wading into the undead and battering them with powerful winds.
The two massed armies clash on the plain. Skeletons slash at bears, zombies bite badgers, squirrels worry at ghouls. The Steel Tsar slashes about him, clearing a bloody path towards the Champions.
E7 wheels Marsh Shadow about and races towards Innocent Blood. He lets go of the hold he has kept on the clouds, letting shafts of sunlight shine thru.
For the Green!
Jorel and the dinosaurs begin a stampede towards the enemy hiding within the fog.
Azuri'ith also enters the fray, wading into the undead and battering them with powerful winds.
Innocent Blood notices this new threat and shoots a green glowing bolt of energy at the elder air elemental.
The Warden appears at the edge of the battle. He watches.
Spring Sapling, on the back of a dire elk, races alongside E7 and Marsh Shadow
FOR THE GREEN! She shrieks, a vision of wildness incarnate
Nimora clutches her force web in one hand and her trident in the other, nervously watching the undead advance.
"Mirathan -" she stops unsure of what to say. "Just...stay safe, okay?"
With that she charges forward into battle.
Letting out a feral shriek, Sky flings himself into the air, soaring toward the wraiths. His claws and talons cause the air to whistle as he bigins a deadly aerial dance. He stays near LJ.
Kiba roars and charges the Tsar as well, crushing those who would wish to attack E7 from behind, but is forced to help Spring Sapling instead. He does not notice a small white wolf cub watching from safe distance...
Innocent Blood notices this new threat and shoots a green glowing bolt of energy at the elder air elemental.
Azuri'ith also enters the fray, wading into the undead and battering them with powerful winds.
Azuri'ith is wounded and this slows his advance. LJ raises her bow, takes aim, and shoots an arrow of positive energy into her grandfather, healing his wounds.
As the dinosaur legion enters the fog their roars turn
to screams of pain.
The harlequin pauses, noticing the young dryad on the elk
Hmm..
I think I've seen that twig before
Perhaps it's time to carve once more!
Unsheathing a wicked knife he passes it in front of his eyes
Weeping sap
And crying racks
Stop the sapling
in her tracks!
Spring Sapling doubles over as she rides forward, screaming in pain. A gout of blood spurts from her midsection.
Innocent Blood notices this new threat and shoots a green glowing bolt of energy at the elder air elemental.
Azuri'ith also enters the fray, wading into the undead and battering them with powerful winds.
Then she sees that Plantjack has arrived. He glares at her.
"Too long have you threatened us. You broke Rio's heart, you broke Alaina's mind, you broke so many bodies. But no longer."He pulls out the disk.
"Feel the wrath of flame."
A bit of flame shoots from the cleaver into the disk. It starts glowing bright orange.
"Feel the strength of earth."
The disk turns into stone.
"Feel the determination of wind."
A hole appears in the disk, which winds rush through.
"Feel the eternity of water."
The disk becomes wet to the touch.
"Feel the wisdom of Board Essence."
The stone begins floating in the air.
"Feel the power of Incarnum!" Plantjack shouts. The disk becomes ethereal. Plantjack begins fading. "From my own soul..."
Plantjack disappears.
"."
The stone flies at Innocent Blood, and attaches itself to her. She feels pain, pain the likes of which she hasn't felt since she died. The disk will not come off. She feels her power over Board Essence slipping away, until she hardly has any left.
"Finally...."
The skies fill with the scream of the windriders and their mounts.
For the Green!
The deep dwarves charge the fog.
For the Lord of Stone!
The Weeping Wood elves let loose volleys of arrows as they advance.
For the Green!
The harlequin pauses, noticing the young dryad on the elk

While the harlequin is busy with his knife, he doesn't notice shadows writhing behind him... until a beam of eldritch energy lances through the air into his back. Oroth steps from the shadows, his eyes glowing with dark power.
"Hope you didn't forget about me, you insane clown. You'll pay for what you did to that boy."
Innocent Blood screams, jacknifing as the disk attaches to her. She flings her hands to the sky
KARRAGH MORVOGH'TH TREVIGH NIHILO KALIYOG!
The entire thread shivers and the disk explodes in a thousand shards
The eagles streak through the air, doing their best to keep all of the flying threats at least distracted so that the fighters on the ground could keep their attention focused on the threats in front of them.
"Hope you didn't forget about me, you insane clown. You'll pay for what you did to that boy."
The clown grins evilly
The shadow with a weeping heart,
Now comes into the fray.
If vengance is what you desire,
You must earn it today!
The harlequin shifts his dagger and advances on Oroth
Innocent Blood screams, jacknifing as the disk attaches to her. She flings her hands to the sky
KARRAGH MORVOGH'TH TREVIGH NIHILO KALIYOG!

"Well played. But the Board is friend to you no longer."
Mirathan charges alongside the wood elves, loosing bolts magicked against contructs. He aims them all at the Steel Tsar.
"Very good, PlantJack," she murmurs. "That is one. Now I wonder what two will be?"
She shoots arrows of positive energy at those of her followers who are within range. They have already taken losses. She grieves for each one of the fallen as she continues to bolster the living.
The stone turns into stone.
Edited.
Mirathan charges alongside the wood elves, loosing bolts magicked against contructs. He aims them all at the Steel Tsar.
The bolts strike true, giving the Steel Tsar a porcupine look. He faces the aquatic champion and swings his glowing green sword at his head
The screams inside the fog cease. The dwarven legion
hesitates, then turns toward the Bone Servants.

Nimora sees the sword headed for Mirathan, and pushes him out of the way, determined not to watch him die again.
Spring Sapling has stopped moving forward, and collapses on her steed. The dire elk brings her close to a thorny grove with a large twisted tree looming over it ..

Mirathan looks surprised that he has gotten so close to the Tsar. He draws his daggers as several wood elves try to distract the beast.

Oroth pulls a long thin blade that shimmers with dark light from within his regalia of shadows and meets the harlequin head on with equal grace and agility, if not more.

"Lady are you alright?" Djuhah, asks concerned as he floats alongside the injured girl.
"Here, let me help you," he says, casting a cure serious wounds on her.
The Sttel Tsar impales two elves on his sword, their bodies rotting with unnatural speed into corpse goo. He faces Mirathan
He swings his sword once more at Mirathan
Frogskin sighs.
"For you, Plantjack."
He sends a cloud of glowing dust at Steel Tsar.
"Lady are you alright?" Djuhah, asks concerned as he floats alongside the injured girl.
"Here, let me help you," he says, casting a cure serious wounds on her.
Spring Sapling groans
My stomach ... It burns ...

He swings his sword once more at Mirathan
And again Nimora gets in the way, this time with less pleasant results. She looks down at the sword protruding from her body.
"That wasn't supposed to happen."

"Here, let me try to help some more. Obviously you were more gravely wounded than I realized."
Dhuhah casts cure critical wounds on her.
