The impact should rightfully have turned Mouse to paste. But as the dust cleared, she was still there, the rocks under her feet having cracked, but leaving her unhurt. Zavros too emerged from the torrent of necrotic filth, the substance that was eating into the rocks underfoot running off his body like rainwater.<br/><br/>The Queen lashed out wildly, trying to shake off Talion, and taking another wound to her ectoplasmic flesh as Kisara took advantage of the distraction. She cast her head up, and black liquid poured from her eyes, flowing over her face and body. She seemed to melt away, her body flattening into a dark, oily pool and then fading away completely, lost amidst the darkness. She left only her words, a cry of disbelieving horror.<br/><br/>""Slay them! Slay the interlopers! This basphemy cannot be permitted!"<br/><br/>The monster let out a gurgling rumble that sounded like it was agreeing. As Zavros and Mouse struck at it's unnaturally tough body, it batted at Mouse with the back of its reptilian hand, before fixing an eye on Zavros, and tensing up the grafted muscles of its body. Then it exploded outwards like a coiled spring, the tail hitting him with a thunderclap and sending him flying backwards to smash into the side of the building, hard enough to leave cracks in the stone. Pulling itself across the rocky ground, it surged towards the temple, catching one of the bare trees and smashing it into splinters as it went.<br/><br/><br/><em>OOC: The mob is dispersed and neither of the other two are lesser foes, so Fray dice aren't applicable here.<br/><br/>The Queen passes her save to act. Her attack vs Kisara misses. She has the Night word but no gifts, so she'll use a miracle to emulate the gift <strong>Road of Shadows</strong>, vanishing into one shadow and reappearing from another within a mile. She's out the combat.<br/><br/>Since the Abomination used a smite gift last turn, it can't do it this round. Instead, it'll attack Zavros and Mouse once each. Both attacks hit, and on Zavros, it'll commit Effort to use <strong>Surge of Strength</strong> to maximise the damage roll, dealing 8 damage. Mouse takes 4 damage. It then moves towards the door.<br/><br/><br/>Stitched Abomination: AC 3, Damage 0/12, Effort 3/4 Saves 10+, Morale 12<br/><br/>New round!</em>
