The creature is hit by the full force of magic missile, and Alyssa's wild swing cleaves into its body, however she can feel the unnatural body of the shadow creature push against her steel, the injury she caused the creature not what it should have been, some of the damage resisted by the magical nature of the servant of darkness.<br/><br/>The monster hisses and backs off as Norton illuminates the room in the bright light of Sunmaiden's Kiss, though manages to escape the strike of the hated weapon. It claws towards the paladin, attempting to rip his face off for channeling its opposing element, but it seems to have a harder time in the bright light of the holy sword.<br/><br/>Al'Rhayel is lying between the motionless vines, not yet managing to gather enough strength to move.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Magic missile does full damage to the monster, but it resists some of the weapon damage Alyssa deals to it. Norton misses it with his strike, but the bright light he called forth seems to have a hindering effect on the creature's accuracy... and also making him a priority target for the monster. It misses Norton however when it attempts to counterattack.</div></div>
