As Evelyn drew a shining streak across the black sky in her flight, she could still feel the evil seed sloshing in her bowels and dripping, sticking to her thighs. With power unlike anything she imagined before, her strike connected and visibly inflicted damage on Tenebrax, causing a distorted hiss to emerge from the monstrosity. Though he was likely invulnerable to any form of attack or damage, the divine power of Lux was at her command now, and the Sunmaiden was at least his equal or so everyone thought until now.<br/>He pulled his body back reflexively at the damage, and a large tentacle lashed out to try and retrain the furious angel's movements. To Evelyn's horror, the pressure and sinking feeling she felt so far was replaced with a horrifying voice in her head. Her ascended state also enabled her thoughts to touch that of the dark god, and what normally drove a mortal paralyzed with fear or outright insane was now comprehensible to her.<br/><br/>Y̹͍̱̼͇̕O̗̖U͉̞̗͈̰̪͞ ̵̮͍A̟R̹̞͔̞E͈̩͎̜̤ Ą̲͍̱̘̳̙ͅN ҉̗̠̩̬̩͕Ì̹̯͕N̮̤̳͟S͙̣͍̥̺̕ͅI̶͉̞̦̗̦̦G͚N̴͎̞̟I̳͕͞F͚̤͚͍̰ͅI̷̮̭͍̘C̨͔A̞̦͖N̷͇͈̖̣Ṯ̡̻ ̼̭̫͉̰͠I̱͈̮͈͙̠̼N̺͍S̭̜̘͉E̗̱͉̝͔̫͚C̦̘̤͡T́.҉̬̙ ̞̲̱̘̤̱Y̨̬̼͔͓O̪U͝R̪̺ ͇B͍̲͙̪̮I̺͙͉̯̣T̻̼͓̘̗͇̯C̲̖̼͓̕H̤̱̘͚̝͙̀ ̧̗̯̫̰̟ͅL̻̱̦̣͉͝AD̯̙̩Y͕ ̞̯͢I͖͇S̘͠ ̗̫͇̤̙̰͔AL͙͇̠̫͝R҉͍̬͚̪̘͖ͅE̠͖̠̭̖͞AD̡͓̰͇̻̝̱̤Y̨ ̬̠͔̭̹͕͟M̠̝̣̘̹͇͘I͖̘ͅN̮̦͕̱͡È̺̙͖̝̣̦̻ ͇̩̟̩͜A͓̞N̨̰̹̜̠̻ͅD ҉͉̮̞͓̼̖Y̶̹̺O̙̤̥̜̙̪̳U̮̣͙̥͎̕ ̘͔̯͓̲̰̀W͏̳̯̮̙I̬̱̞̗̙͇LL̙̥̤͈ ̷̟̰̩͖B̪̜̹͚R̻̱͓̖͔̹͜E̟̼̘̟͟ͅA̺Ḵ̨̻ ̷͔͈̞̻Ļ̻̜̘̠͓I̷̥͔̗̳̝̖K͚̫͇E ͇̱̯̞̠S̛̬̺̤̩͔̺H͔͇͍̖̳͚̳E̼ ̡D̶̻̞̻̲I͚D̶̲͎̜̥̹̮.̞ ̣͔̺̤͎̗̰͞Ỳ͖̲O̢̹͉̰̠̪̹̙U̻̪̻͓ ̨̺ẈͅI͉̪͚L̻̰͓Ļ͍͖̰̻ ͍̜͎̬͍̖͝N̩̲̖O҉̬̖͓͖̼T̲͙̥̥͈̺ ͙S̩̹͔U̦͈̤ͅR̖̲̙̲̬͟V̭I̴̯̝͉V̛̠̗E͈ M͇͓E͍̘̖̺̠̥ ͔̻͠ͅL̞I̶̘̘̹T͕̤̪Ț̴̺Ḷ̙̫ͅĘ͉̻̱̻̱̠͇ ̲̻̟̻G͘I̤̦͕̯̖̟̘͜R̸͙̮̼̙̣̬L̜.̝͓̰ ̝̘̙͉Y̝̳͎ͅO̶̠͓̤͇U̝̮͇̻ ̘W̶̥̙̯̻̼̼ͅI̴͉͕̙̜L͕̮͇͓̱͚͓L̶̟ ̧͙͚͈B̭̦̺̜͔ͅḚ͈̗̼̝͢ F͈̼͔͖̲̼ͅO̷̘̰̺̪ͅR̛̟̼̖̞̦G̞͉̟̰̗̻̠O̙͝T̜̜̙͕͓̹̖T̪͉̘E̸̱͚̘̪̘̻N.̫ͅ A͙̥͜ ̘͉̮M̼͈͖͍̝O̜M͖̰̳̙̫̹̬EN̤͡T̹̤̘͔A̱̹̬̥͍̺̯͞R̼̥Y ̙D̦͎̟̖̲̹̗I̴̟̦̝̻̠̪̼S҉̰Ṯ̰̲̖́R̞̙̟̪̥̺A͏̪̩̟̖̻̪̥C̮̯̥͖͉̣̥͡T̪I̤̥O̹̭͔̤N ͔̠̦̤͞IN̬͉̱̭͍̣͘ ͕͉̮͕̫̰ͅM͔͕̹͇͓͎̟͠Y̝͕ ̴͈͚̤͍̗̗R̡É̘̤̟̝̳͉IG̫͍̘̲͓N͔̜̯̣ ̼̻̭̫N҉O̼T̯͔̜̤ ̥̳͚̞̙͞W͚̠̤̭O͎̝̪̩R̦̮͚̫̗ͅT̰͎̮͕͙H̛Y͇ ̢̮̜̯O͚̞͞F̵̹̥̣̙ ̴͍̳̞̯̞M҉̫E̤ͅM̳͚̖͉Ọ͇͉̯͔R̭̗̼͔Y̶̬͖̱͙̣.̷̙̣̮̥̰̟̜ ͇I͎̰̺͕̞̣͍ ̥̜̖̭̦̠͡W͜I̴͙̖L̵̜͙͉L̻͙͇͙͞ ̬͠R̡̙͉̜̩̻A̩̗̫̠̳̪̝P̩̮̳̼͕͎̀E̫̟͓ ̺̖̘̹͡Y̡O̷̩̹̠UͅR̺͕ ̪͎͝S̗̺͚̯̜O̩͡U̮̥L҉̤̱ ͚͕͈͡A̲P͍̰͇̭̤A̷̞̱̟͇̯R̩̹̣͎̱̥T̷̞̗̘ ̨͓̝BE̝̲̣͎̲̬ͅF̫͘Ọ͎̖͚ͅR̹͔E̖̪͎̭ ̴̟̖̘̗YO̶̻̪̫U͍R͞ ̨͖̻͈̻̞Ẉ̱̩̱O̻̥̙̫̟̜̙R҉͚̣̫̠̼T̗̖̯Ḥ̛L̙͘E͟S̛̥S͓͉̫̮̦͖̼ ͞M̢̬͕̹̰̠I̬̞̫̲̯̻S̯̗͔̤̬̲͘T͖͙͍̥R̕ES̲͘S̠̖̬ N̩̺͓͡O̻̖̺̖̱̼ͅ ̴̯LO҉̪̥̘N̠͈͍͚͎G̤̩̜̙E̴R͎͢ ̨̺̗̤̠̫͖H̢̠̳͖̱̦̣͙O̻̝̙̙̺͕W̤͟ ̡̠̣̙̖͈̻̭L̜̤͎̦͎̙͞ON̸̻Ǵ͚͎ ͚̰͇͙S͎̗H҉̥̙͎E̻̯͙̖̬͚͘ ̷̳P͔R̥O͍̬Ĺ̫̩̻͚͔ͅO̲̣̥̹̥̙̳͝NG̰͙̗S̰̞ ͉͎̝̺̮Y̜͉͠O̙U͈͡R̸͎͚ ͎͖SU̻̗F̛̱̪͉̗͔FE̺͘R̝I͏̗̻̤͎͙̲͖N͖̮̜̞͈̬̕G̨͙͇̙̥͔.̮͇̣̗͕ ̳̹̕Y̱̹͡O̟͎̝͍̯̭̳U͇̙ ̫̹W͇̞I̟̩̣L̙̲̮̻̤̲L̝̀ ̖̮D̪͠I̟̤͚̜͚͍E̱̦͚͡ͅ ͇̀I͍̪̮͕͉N ̢̘̯̳̤VAI͎͇̣ͅN ̶̘̦F̗̦͢O̩̪̙̘̙͕͍R̨ ͏̠͍ͅM̢̭̟̝͉Y͏͖̭̮̹̲ ̭̩P͏̭̣̗L̙̰E̴̗A̢S̨͇̪͈̱̗U͢R̡̤E͈͚͈ ͕̘O̱̬̞̮̘̖R̻̱͕͕̺̣ ̮̣̯͓B̠͈̟Ȩ̩͇̮̥̤̻͖T̪͕̱̬̼̲̠͡R҉A̟̣̙̮̦͖̜͠Y͇̪̗ ̥̳͙͔͔̕Ḩ͔̗͍̙͚E̬̱̙̫Ṛ̝͈̩ ̼Ị̠̝̻̹̼N͜ ̹̬ͅT̥̫͈̝͟ͅUṞ͍̰̫N̛̘͈͎̬͎̰ ͎̰̭͉̫AN̛͕̮̳̼D͎͚̬͎̼͡ ͖̻̫͖̖̼ͅB̯͍É͕̭C̛̲̬̳O̦̺͍̟̠̱M̦̬̲͙̮Ẹ̪͓̱͝ ̸A̭͍̦̗̻ ̩̲́W̤̦̣̦͜Ơ͙̩͚̬̹M̮̗̺̫̦̙ͅB̸̪͓͈̞͈ ̨͚̥F̧̤̭Ǫ͈͚̜R ̜M̤̩̰̟̘Y̧͚͚̮̫̹̪͎ ̹̰̬͎̳͝P͎̺̲O̻͙̬͕͉̥̗ẈE͇͘R̷͚̝̭̼̞̪̤.̰<br/><br/><br/>Tenebrax's hold tightened as Lux tried to struggle effortlessly against his hold, having regained some strength, but much of that going toward maintaining Evelyn's transformation, her spell somehow not wavering despite still being penetrated in every conceivable way. Evelyn was likely to soon end up the same again, unless she was strong enough to slip from the dark one's grasp and keep fighting in her current state.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tenebrax: 24 damage taken, regeneration suppressed for 1 turn due to radiant damage.<br/>Lux: 15 hp, grappled, exhaustion level 5 (disadvantage on ability checks, attack rolls, saving throws, hit point maximum halved, speed reduced to 0), failed saving throws: 3/3, Legendary Resistance expended: 3/3<br/><br/>Tenebrax uses a legendary action to make a tentacle attack at the end of Evelyn's turn in attempt and grapple her. His strength roll result is 20, which Evelyn must beat on a contested Strength or Dexterity roll (acrobatics and athletics would apply but her current form has no access to those skills). If she succeeds, she remains free, or a failure she is grappled (speed becomes 0 but can still take actions normally) and can escape by spending her action to make another contested check. <br/><br/>On his turn, Tenebrax uses his action to cast <em>Hunger of Hadar</em> centered on Evelyn, filling the a 20 foot radius with consuming inky black darkness. The void is filled with a cacophony of soft whispers and slurping noises. No light, magical or otherwise can illuminate the area and creatures in the area are considered blinded (attack at disadvantage, be attacked with advantage, auto-fail any check requiring sight). The area is considered difficult terrain and when Evelyn starts her turn in the darkness, she takes 7 cold damage. If she is free to move she can simply spend movement to break out of the sphere of darkness, but if she is grappled at the end of her turn, Tenebrax holds her in the space and milky, otherworldly tentacles rub against her from all sides, not leaving an inch of skin untouched, making her suffer an additional 4 acid damage.<br/></div></div>
