damn I got a lot to learn about combat like this...<br/><br/>(http://i843.photobucket.com/albums/zz359/Majere_Draven/Banner2.jpg)<br/><br/>Ezo had vastly underestimated this creature, no normal undead, instead of dodging or blocking. he simply stepped backward and when the wave hit he took it full force intentionally.<br/>but she, for all her power over death, did not understand, Death is not<br/>she could not feel, nor enjoy life. he did not simply pump the forest full of energy it was where the energy was coming from. life and death are a cycle, thus, it was her energy that redirected as well. instead of harming creatures, and reanimating undead corpses. instead the expendeture of so much energy in the wave, it could be redirected, he took a stance and when it hit him, it's element changed. no longer necrotic, nor could it be turned into it's opposing element directly. instead it turned into the next element on the wheel, blasting outward against him the necrotic energy turned to water and earth splattering in all directions.... it was still enough to knock him back creating a gouge in the ground, and flood the forest waist deep with mud.<br/>Ezo stood up, and wiped the mud from his face. it was not his best moment, but it was a success not an ounce of death magic remained. "well that was fun..."<br/>he moved in quickly, swinging his axe across with a force that would have smashed lesser men to pump. stepping back or foreward and side to side was no option. if she went up he'd headbutt her, if down, he'd stomp her with his hoove he was smiling and looked down at her as he swung "life and death, destened to dance and fight, and nether wins.I chose life beause death is no fun, just existing to cause pain, at least life's not predectible and boring."<br/><br/>(given no option he stepped back to avoid both attacks, and redirected the wave of necrotic energy, instead converting it one elemental step in both directions. and he is striking in a sweep across, if she goes high he'll smash her with his head and try to0 kick if she goes low)
