(Identification: That's a crocodile all right. Fiendish or half-fiend, but the lack of wings suggests fiendish. And that's<em>good</em>, because it means it was just born on an evil plane, instead of having deadly spell-like abilities. It doesn't even look alert enough to have a real chance of biting Michelle. The thing that looks like a skeleton is a skeleton. It is, however, sentient, which means it actually<em>is</em>evil. Selena is a Fey'ri, the elven equivalent of a Tiefling. They tend to be physically weak, but gifted with decent spell-like abilities. Most of them serve the loathsome Ghaunadaur.)<br/><br/>Michelle strikes, and the sheer power of the impact of Good against Evil causes a wave of force, tearing the ground apart nearby and nearly hurling Selena's minions back. Both ladies find their hair violently billowing behind them, and a large patch of the Fey'ri's silk top is torn apart, revealing her smooth skin and a thin, red weal from the cut. The ghostly demonic faces of the shirt shriek with agony, absorbing some of the pain.<br/><br/>Selena tries to hide the pain, refusing to admit that she's met a foe as powerful as herself. Instead, she swings the ice pick down, and the point of it strikes viciously, digging in, yet somehow not actually tearing into the skin, more striking at Michelle's faith and psyche, causing a painful red mark to appear, shaped like a coiled serpent, and tearing a large hole in her top.<br/><br/>(76 nonlethal damage, 10 nonlethal Unholy damage and 20 nonlethal smite damage)<br/><br/>She then flicks her cloak, and suddenly, the two are engulfed in shadowy darkness. The choking cloud extends, burning with fury and hatred for all that is pure, and at the moment, Michelle is all that is pure within its grasp, even if her mind and soul do contain, on some very small level, the touch of impurity. Additionally, within the shadows, although it's hard to make out her target clearly, Michelle can see that where there used to be one Selena, there are now five, all giggling with malevolent glee.<br/><br/>(a 4th level darkness effect - shadowy illumination, concealment for you as well as her, and 9 points of Unholy damage unless you have something that blocks that effect. Additionally, mirror image, 4 images. None are especially warded against dispelling, True seeing and the like)<br/><br/>Snapdragon, able to more or less make out who is who in the darkness, very carefully aims a spell, and starting at a point somewhat behind the minions, the ground starts to explode, extending out to just in front of Michelle, where rocks and frozen chunks of dirt rain down. All five of the Selena's dance about as though trying to dodge the pieces, and shout out in pain. The skeleton stands there stoically as pieces of rock bounce off its skull, and the crocodile does its best to dodge, though also seems to take a battering.
