<strong>The Confrontation </strong><br/><br/><div class="floatright">(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y265/Nny2/WhiteNecromancer.jpg)</div>"I must congratulate you in coming this far. In the war I mean." it was unclear if Hagan was speaking to the girls or Yustissa sobbing and shackled to the pillar several steps away "You have almost turn the tides for good and secured peace for humanity. but for its own sake, humanity must not stop waging war on outsiders, least they turn on eachother. I have seen it after we defeated the elves and dwarves of old, the great empire of King Lug torn up by rival lords. As long as there is an enemy to look out for, humans will put aside their differences and work together."<br/><br/>He walked over to the center, not feeling threatened in the least by Hunter's approach. He got next to the hemisphere, with the object between him and the rogue, and raised his hand to activate the device. "Kurk, come to me and bring your friends. There is more conquest waiting for you if you can prove your strength." he spoke into the crystal ball, as Bremorel's elemental ray missed him and scorched the wall across the room.<br/><br/>"If you will excuse me, playing with you children is beneath me. If you will not submit to my judgment, you can die to the enemy knowing that your rightful reward will be denied. I shall keep this 'disciple' of mine as a trophy for a while longer, until she can see the last of her followers break. A god has no use for a heir, or a mate."<br/><br/>Hagan opened his arms wide and a wave of energy came rippling out of him and washing over the chamber, the negative influence invading both of the girls minds and hearts, the experience sickening yet enthralling at the same time, their souls violated and seduced at the same time, feeling like honey-coated chains wrapping around them to forever take their freedom. It took every bit of willpower they could muster to keep themselves sane after the unexpected effect, that wasn't much of a spell on its own, and more like the high priest calling on the power of whatever dark deity he followed.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">Hagan: ?? hp (uninjured), SR 18, initiative 11<br/>The high priest will spend his action to activate the crystal hemisphere and communicate through it. He then uses amazing initiative to go again and channels energy to harm both Bree and Hunter. They take 13 damage and are dazed for one round unless they pass a DC 18 will save, in which case they only take 6 damage.</div></div><br/><strong>Aleria</strong><br/><br/>Luckily for the wizardess, Shadow Peak already started off from the tree she left it, flying wide circles around the area. They had a headstart, but it would still take time to fly to the tower. It took her minutes soaring over the rocky hills and uneven terrain, but such things didn't slow down the bird flying up in the sky. When she got to the battlefield, she could see a small force break through the beastmen lines and attempt to break through the gates of the Spire, as if there was much sense in doing so... still she did notice the very angry large man with a two-handed sword leading the charge, a trail of dead gnolls and orcs behind him and his followers.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Mechanics</div><div class="spoiler_body">Shadow Peak can join in during the next round, roll init using the familiar's stats to see if you'll go before or after Hagan. Either way you're still a move away from the balcony and effectively out of combat range.</div></div>
