Adrian's Scream did nothing to harm Golodon, but it disrupted his spell nicely. He drew his glowing green blade and marched in, meaning to cut the mage's head off.

But Golodon stepped back from his strike, a confident sneer on his face, and snapped his fingers. More orange-band dopplegangers seemed to come out of the walls. He ducked back from Adrian's next swing and began to cast again.

Tree moved to help Adrian against the mage; the others turned to aid the purple-band Dopplegangers against the orange-band mirrorkin. Frennendan led this charge, black eyes wide with unfathomable rage.

For so long, he and the few others of his kind hiding in their enclave had been afraid of this place; only to find their masters enslaved in turn by another. Frennendan had worked with humans and often pretended to be one; it was his life and nature. But that the overlords of his own kind should kneel, willing or no, to a human master filled him with an outrage not unlike that of a relgigious person who witnesses their holy symbols being defiled.

Not that he was particularly willing to be siding with the purple band dopplegangers either; this was for them purely a political dispute. Those that won would still with to enslave him. He never would be at home here.

Tree and Adrian focused on Golodon. Adrian could do nothing more than disrupt the man's spellcastings. But Tree vaulted over and planted her boots on the man's head.

He stumbled back but would not go down. Now Adrian slashed into him, again and again, but there was no sign of blood. Nor was it mirror images; his blade was connecting with something solid.

"I have mastered the magic of surezanity and immortality, and know secrets previously known only to the Liches, as I tried to say before," Golodon boasted, sending arcs of energy at them. "That is why I am the Unmanned!"

Adrian freed Jan and Dradeel as Tree continued to duel the foe.

"Can you drain him of his powers, Tree?" he asked her.

"If I'm understanding him right, doing that would enable him to posess me." Tree shouted back.

"Wise, she-creature," Golodon taunted. "But I will still triumph."

"No, you're just an idiot," Adrian said.

Tree knew what was coming and ducked as Adrian's crossbow bolt burned past and slammed into Golodon's face. Still he did not fall, but Jan and Dradeel blasted him with power and he fell backwards.

"Don't kill, just knock him out, or he'll escape again," Jan said.

"Escape?" Adrian frowned.

"Death is no prison for him, he'll just move on to a new host, like a Lich with a glass jar, as he boasted," Dradeel explained. We need to pin him in this body before we kill him. We need Edwin over here now, probably Viconia too."

Golodon struggled but Jan, Tree and Dradeel kept him down. Adrian stalked off into the battle for his lover and the Thayvian.

Straight into the action with this chapter, works for me. :D

Yes, I can understand that, for sure.

"I have mastered the magic of surezanity and immortality, and know secrets previously known only to the Liches, as I tried to say before," Golodon boasted, sending arcs of energy at them. "That is why I am the Unmanned!"


So, is he undead then? Or is it something else?


"Death is no prison for him, he'll just move on to a new host, like a Lich with a glass jar, as he boasted," Dradeel explained. We need to pin him in this body before we kill him. We need Edwin over here now, probably Viconia too."


Let's hope Eddie can fix this...I have no idea what could be done, but I'm sure you'll think of something.
Rogues do it from behind.

No, Golodon has mastered some high Necromantic spells while still living. Think of him as a not-yet-Lich. Hence "Unmanned."

Thank you for responding. Pardon me if i do not reply to your slayer post, i could say nothing but "oh @#$%#$%#$" to it anyhow. :shock:
