Gods, that... hurt more... than I remembered..."<br/><br/>He panted for a moment, leaning against his staff, before pulling out the lich's phylactery and waving it where the body could 'see' it since the soul was already inside it. "Enjoy the hell... you have... so richly earned."<br/><br/>He dropped it onto the ground, and then summoned a medium earth elemental, and gestured for the party to move away before slowly limping clear. Once he was a fireball's distance away, he ordered the elemental to shatter the phylactery, and then ordered it to toss the remains of the necklace into the ooze. He leaned against Cerulean, before weakly smiling at the others. "And that... was why I didn't... want you near that ooze. Even with a dragon's... spell resistance, I barely made it. If it had been one of you... we probably have had to kill you. And I would have cried... unless it was the spoony bard."<br/><br/>A weak joke, but he was sounding better by the second, though it really hadn't hurt him. He was simulating what it would have been like for them, though, and he sat down on the ground after a moment, before weakly sighing. "Are we done for the day?"
