The whole party is shaken by the mad priest's spell, far more potent than anything they had ever encountered before. If he can pull off such magic again, they are all in trouble. It is a shame; this man was once a force of good in this world, in the square, the people of the village had spoken fondly of him and the protection he offered, just as a man of the cloth should. He still wears his holy garbs, though they are filthy, neglected and above them he has donned armour, an old and finely crafted suit of fullplate, embellished with a crest, an army marching beneath a forest of spears. A shield of similar design is strapped to his left arm, his right arm clutching a sheet of folded, dusty parchment, with a mace hanging from his belt. He is ready for war, but in his ailment he sees enemies in what should be welcoming faces.<br/><br/>What happened to him, what did this realm do to a servant a good? In the room, the zombie takes a feeble swipe at Michael, who easily deflects the filthy claws, counterattacking, opening a deep, bloodless gash in the corpse’s side. Lydia then drives her blade through the dead thing’s skull, someone undoing the foul magic that bound it to this realm.<br/><br/>Wanting to prevent the priest from casting again, Balt unleashes a green bolt that strikes him, burning the man’s flesh and emitting a sharp, stinging scent. Seeing how beat up everyone is, Yavaine moves forwards, positioning herself in the middle of the party. After imploring her Goddess, a wave opf positive energy washes over everyone, undoing some of the damage they suffered from the evil magic’s ravaging. The only downside is that she must also heal the priest, for whilst his mind is gone his flesh is still mortal, and the energy knits his wounds together just as well.<br/><br/>Melishandra lobs one of her concoctions at the priest, the explosion damaging the man in spite of his armour, which does foil the blades of both Ashlyn and Ebron, though perhaps the paladin’s strike was also stayed her reluctance to hit a priest.<br/><br/>Perhaps there is a clue to the man’s insanity as he draws back, away from the invaders of his church, Ashlyn missing a second time, whilst Ebron is able to open a wound on the man’s arms. Bleeding from multiple wounds, and Balt’s spell, the priest approached the edge of the hole,<strong>“My son, they are here! They seek to take you from me! We must fight!”</strong>then he jumps down the hole, disappearing from sight.<br/><br/>Everyone is healed for 10 hit points by Yavaine.
