Re: Eris (Cross_Grave)
The creature before her shook her head, almost amused.
"You truly don't understand do you? Even if I chose to not attack you myself, his power is such he could quite literally assume control over this body. All of us, we're as good as dead if we lose to you, but we're dead if we try to help you, or refuse to fight you. Worse, I have seen the results of some like you. The last one to make such bold predictions was a Spiritmaster. He grew tired of her attempts to circumvent his game, and finally acted upon his annoyance. She quite literally exploded. If he wanted to, he could very easily reach out and simply extinquish your life with a mere thought. I believe he learned that ability from that Alteran woman."
That caused Gina to pause for just a moment, blinking.
"Alteran woman? What are you on about creature?"
Blood Raven simply tilted her head, preparing to attack, but she did grace them with one final reply.
"You've already met her. She is your guide, and his prisioner."
Gina for her part simply blinked, a look of horror crossing her face. If this creature were to be believed .... and something told Gina that it wasn't lying, then quite a few of her questions might have been answered. Outwardly, she steeled herself, but her face still showed recognition, at least to Eris' eyes.
"That answers a few things then. I suppose I should thank you then, that's rather helpful. But I'm afraid we won't just roll over and let you defeat us either."
That actually drew a laugh from Blood Raven, who shook her head, clearly amused now.
"I would expect no less than a fight to the death from either of you. Stick together with that one Necromancer, and you might just yet make a difference here, maybe, just maybe be the first to stand a chance against him since the Alteran woman. Perhaps better since she was alone, and you have an ally. However, you should know I cannot, and will not make this easy for you. Already I can feel his power flexing, his patience tested."
As she spoke those words, Eris would feel like something was oh so slightly grasping at the very fiber of her soul, threatening to crush it. It was difficult to explain, but she could feel an unseen presence that was far more powerful than the corrupted thing before them was. She could only assume it was the overlord of this place, and if Blood Raven spoke the truth about him being capable of killing her with mere thought, perhaps it would be better to play her role for now, and learn how to kill him first before he could kill her later down the road?
Attack Rolls:
Eris: 13 vs. Blood Raven: 21
Eris misfires her spell, but her Golem still deals 480 damage, leaving Blood Raven with 4,680 HP.
Gina: 30, 24, 23 & 11 vs. Blood Raven: 6, 2, 9 & 10.
Gina lands all 4 hits for 600 damage, leaving Blood Raven with 4,080 HP.
Grapple Attempt:
Blood Raven: 21 vs. Gina: 28
Gina dodges again, continuing the game of cat and mouse, almost seeming to enjoy this ...
Spiteful Spirit wears off, and has 10 turns of cool down.

1: Reply and Continue the attack.
