Turn 21
[Reynald: 5 +3, Undead Duke: 6 +2]
Why couldn't you just stay quiet, Dennis? - inquisitor yelled angrily to peasant, sheathing his shortsword, strapping shield to back and raising longsword. The Duke hastily flied above inquisitor, circled above him several times and pike-attacked him! Reynald assumed an offensive stance and when the undead was close enough, he striked with a skull crushing attack, dealing him a heavy blow! This didn't stop the momentum and all Duke's weight came down on inquisitor!
[4]
Huh. Well, slay the dragon, Quiz! - Dennis shouted just before the dragon-duke smacked him down to the ground. This somewhat cheered Reynald up and he thrown the undead off-himself and get up. Duke with slight effort got on his feet too.
[1] Jeremiah kept praying, giving god his praise for sending an angel to aid them, but suddenly something caught him and raised a few meters up. The thing turned him around so he could see it, and it was the angel. Exorcist could see through the angelic light, and in horror he realised that it was in fact fallen angel, a dark spirit!
[5] Wanderer still in dark spirit form returned back to the great hall, only to see inquisitor throwing an undead dragon off himself and a dark spirit raising up the exorcist!
[1]
I would like to hear your story too, Mr. Seymour. your wings are broken, right? Maybe I can fix them. - Pguhyuh asked, but the gargoyle was somewhat annoyed by his request.
I do not wish to talk about my past. If I wanted my wings back, I'd get them long ago. - he said.
[4]
But he might help us achieve our goal, thus he deserves to know the truth. In the ages past, when old gods still roamed the world and humanity just started building it's first civilisation, Seymour was a mortal man, just like you. A frail and young man. He always wished himself to be strong as a rock, yet to be able to fly across the skies like birds and birdfolk did. Keeping his beliefs and strong faith, one day he proved that with power of soul, everything is possible. He awoke as a gargoyle with head of a bull, with massive and mighty wings on his back and a giant war axe on his side. He woke up as a god, yet his sphere of influence still unknown to him. - Seymour rolled his eyes when Lyirah told his tale -
First thing he did was to fly high up into the skies, but other gods and birdfolk mocked him instead of paying him his rightful respect. They said, look at this bag of flesh that turned into chunk of rock, he thinks that he can be just like us! - she continued -
And so he landed atop highest mountain in the world, and ripped his own wings from his back! Then he proceeded to climb down, and confront all other gods. He defeated one after another, until almost all the old gods were gone and their children were about to replace them. My father, the rock giant named Dhynn left willingly on his own, as he was the only one that payed Seymour respect. Seymour helped humanity rise from the ground, to start his campaign against birdmen and all birdfolk. Praised as the god of war, they were able to completely wipe them all out of the whole world! When new gods came, he didn't want to go however, and stayed in hiding. But there is more! - she stopped for a moment -
Each god he killed brought a new element of human life to the realm. Only power of faith, belief and soul left in their primal state, due to him still clinging to this world. Perhaps that is the reason of current situation? Humanity's faith being weakened by this, which made gods turn away from the world? - demigodess ended the tale of Seymour, the wingless gargoyle.
[5]
Demigoddess, will you come with me? I sense that my friends are in danger, so I have to hurry. Its now or never, staying here forever is not healthy for anyone, and nothing will be accomplished. If you come with me, maybe you will fully recover your memories and power. - Pguhyuh asked, and she replied:
This request surprised me, but I will follow you and your companion for the time being. What about you Seymour?[2]
I'm staying here. If you'll ever need my help, you know how to sed me a signal. - he replied.
Alright then, let's hurry! - she said and with Pguhyuh and Smoke, they headed towards the cavern exit.
A tall and remarkably handsome man in armor made of demonic hides reached courtyard of Height Keep. Hearing sounds of battle, he entered a large entrance hall and saw someone fighting an undead dragon, several undead knights, a dark spirit, some peasant shouting like mad and a man hugging an angel, flying right above them all.
Undead Duke: -40 HP [44/120]
Undead swordsman: [80/80]
Undead maceman: [80/80]
Undead spearman: [80/80]
Fallen angel: Heavenly Aid [60/60]
Aaron: 1 turn to corporeality
Reynald: -15 HP
OOC
Effects of prayer are kept up by fallen angel's heavenly aid. It still keeps it all up to fool others that it's an angel. Aaron can see it due to being a dark spirit, which lets him identify others of this kind - only Jeremiah and Aaron know that it's in fact a dark spirit. If duke dies, his knights die as well as he's holding them reanimated. Lyirah needs to remember who her mother is, then somehow restore link with her to recover powers.
