A book and many things to do

[Anastasia]

Cool. In that case it's covered by something else, but...

The healing fades around it, the void seeming to consume it when it comes to the undead monster.

At the same time the attack is diverted away harmlessly. A chance!

Dolmaya tosses her hair back at this, "Well, it seems your luck has run out, nightmare," she declares, advancing slow and careful.

This particular setup hoses her b ad, so she's holding.

Init is Alyssa (37) > Emily (32) > Nightstalker (30) > Dolmaya (25) > Ianvasah (22) > Bastian (20) > Jarem (16)

Ianvasah stays back, shivering silently.

"...I can't..." she whispers, "Let you HURT THEM!" With a roar she morphs, taking dragon form and flying ahead. As she does she charges in, going in from above for a heavy bite.

Ianvasah bites into the creature's head, roaring as she chomps down. At the same time Bastian and Jarem pursue, striking away furiously.

With Ianvasah the two attack. Bastian slams the creature back leaping up to hammer its chest with both hands, then flip up and kick it in the neck. Jarem goes low, hacking away at its legs. Shards of shadow stuff are torn away as, "Die," Jarem snarls, "Return to the bitch who made you!"

The beast is reeling back from the assault, trying to hold up as...

Perception.

A glance back, a faint noise. The shadows 100ft behind you are starting to form another nightwalker.

Go.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Second one behind!'

Alyssa takes a moment to study how it's forming looking for a way to shatter the void.

[Anastasia]

Going to spend your turn on studying and watching it?

[Iron Dragoon]

Yeah. Gotta find a way to stop it from absorbing everything and spawning more.

[Anastasia]

Sure, K:R here.

As far as you can tell, it's a property of both the void and the nightwalkers. You'd have to change the terrain somehow.

[Iron Dragoon]

'It's terrain. It's generating the void. If we can change it, some how, we'll be able to affect things better.'

"Planar Bubble!" Emily exclaims, "Can you cast it?"

[Iron Dragoon]

'With a wish. Anyone have it ready?'

[Anastasia]

"Same!" Emily calls back. "I can't heal us and risk failing, though!"

[Iron Dragoon]

'I'll do it then. Your spells are more suited to fighting them.'

[Anastasia]

Emily holds, since odds are you'll need healing in a moment and her offense is mostly negated.

The newly formed Nightwalker rises, gathering energy to it, before darkness engulfs you, darkness that fades away, one sphere consumed.

Your defensive spell paid off.

A moment later greasy darkness surrounds all of you, cloying and cold.

Will for you and Ianvasah.
