As the creature falls to the ground, Rose pounces on it, finally able to bring her blade into play. The first strike connects with the neck, Deneve’s white flame turning the flesh into a soft substance like a fish’s belly, which the metal edge easily cleaves through, becoming lodged in the spine. The martial artist deftly turns the blade, scratching the bone deeper as she withdraws the weapon. For one terrifying moment it seems the mortal wound did not affect this creature, but then the purple energy in its eyes flickers and its life ends.<br/>No sooner has it ceased struggling against Kasumi’s grip and you have all breathed a sigh of relief then the death throes of this creature manifest, and what a fitting last attack this is. There is no cloud of energy, but a magnificent display of the creature’s magical talents which erupt chaotically throughout the cave. In places the thin layer of frost sprouts icy razors, whilst icicles grown from the ceiling to compliment the stalactites. In other patches the rock is revealed as the ice is burnt away by fire, and several shards of rock as well as one of the bounder tables are shattered by bursts of yellow lightening.<br/>Daria drops her bow in surprise as she feels her body go stiff, at first it is an irritation, but the transformation does not stop. Her skin becomes rough and hard, the colour turning grey. Losing her balance she falls over, “Help me Red!” she screams before becoming completely prettified. The spell weaver is immediately by her side, having only suffered an unpleasant flash of light in front of his eyes, but in the 20 second Daria’s transformation takes he is unable to save her. “Old magic!” he curses.<br/>Deneve’s skin turns a dark shade of grey for a split second but the songstress shakes of the phantasm almost immediately. Rose finds herself enveloped in a putrid green flame that swiftly extinguishes itself, or rather is absorbed into her body, as he can still feel it burning inside, the pain concentrating around her joints. In close proximity the creature’s corpse, Kasumi has to roll away to avoid a jolt of the yellow electricity, and an arm on Rose’s summoning abruptly explodes, scattering a shower of harmless energy shards that adds to the display.<br/><br/>OOC: Congratulations, you can take your first bonus feat.<br/><br/>Rose<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Make 9 fortitude save at DC: 15, taking 2 acid damage per failed save.
