Chapter Six: The Muster of Caltlikrath

Zangua is unable to wrest himself free as the priest hinges at the waist, falling upon him with an open mouth full of piercing teeth.

Edit: Zangua cannot hold back a scream of pain as rows of teeth sink into his trapezius muscle, seeming almost to grow and burrow inside him as they sting with a cold and fiercely caustic pain.

He only releases Zangua from the grip of his teeth when Mordred sneaks up behind him and drives a blade into his flank, wrenching his mouth away in a shower of blood and torn flesh to glare at Mordred with the empty hollows of his eyes.

Domarc and Leth, you can take an action now.

They are not.

We gonna say I was standing guard outside or something, or should I just jump into the fight?

Just go ahead and get in the fight if you're around, Leth!

Domarc murmurs unsettling words at the creature the priest has become.

Edit: The priest lets out a low hiss, but seems unperturbed by the whispers.

Leth, you're up!

You can't tell, visually, if he's taken any psychic damage. But no, he doesn't move.

Leth, jump in and take a combat action when you read this! Felor, Mordred, and Zangua, you can take actions now.

I'm assuming Leth is staying at range, so he's not going to be a melee target anytime soon, so he can catch up with his actions when he gets back on here.

Felor's bolt of holy light rockets into the far corner of the room. It almost seems as if it curved away from Aeron at the last second.

Aeron starts to drift across the floor like a leaf boat blown by an unseen breeze across the surface of a quiet pond. Zangua jogs after him, missing with the first spin of his glaive as the speed and direction of the drift changes, but he manages to cut across Aeron's thigh with his second swing. This, too, feels like striking solid stone, and the altered priest does not react to it.

Mordred's fire bolt lands true, and Aeron hisses again as the flames dance around his face momentarily before winking out, unable to find purchase. Mordred creeps back into the shadows.

At the far end of the room, Leth fires two arrows into Aeron's torso. Aeron swivels his head to train his hollow eye-holes on Leth. Without thinking, Leth meets his gaze. The two black circles of the priest's eyes begin to enlarge in his vision.

Leth, make a WIS saving throw.
