R3T29: Kris flies away from the brawl - easily dodging the AOO - before surrounding herself with layers of force.

R3T22: Winter glares at the savage and evil undead monster, she channels the holy energy of her Goddess, eyes blazing with holy light. "Be at rest, your time here is over" she snarls, and her energy rips past the ghost's resistance to take 8 PE.

R3T21: The ghost floats north a few feet, its misty form confusing to Lillian, and doesn't dodge when he puts his hand in her belly. She does resist the corruption, though, taking 19 aging.

R3T18: Ms. Wrentz sneaks over to the west of the doorway.

R3T14: St. Dorn, you are no longer bewildered. What do you do?

R3T14: “Torag, help me send this evil thing back to whatever hell spawned it!”shouts St. Dorn with another onslaught of warhammer attacks, the first swooshing through for 4 mod, and the second whooshing through for 4 mod.

R3T8: Lillian studies the ghost, focuses on a prayer and her hand glows after the casting, and she reaches out and despite trying to pull on inspiration she misses. At least her hand is still charged up.

R4T22: Emboldened by the impact from the previous time, Winter advances 5' towards the Ghost. Once more, her eyes blazing with holy power, she releases holy power which tears into the ghost for 11 PE.

R4T21: The ghost goes through the wall and attacks wildly at Cesadia.

R4T14: St. Dorn, the ghost went into the hallway. What do you do?

R4T14: Grunting with anger, St. Dorn moves North and then West next to Cesadia. Summoning his holy power, he attempts to touch the ghost but misses wildly. Meanwhile, he dragged so much detritus and debris from the floor of the other room with him that when he stopped, the dust kicks upwards into his eyes, blinding him. Despite this, he he prepares to intercept any attacks against any adjacent allies that the ghost might attack, calling out, “To me for your protection!”

R4T8: Lillian moves up to St. Dorn, voicing softly so he doesn't strike her, and tries to help him clear his vision, but fails.

R5T22: Winter, hearing the sounds to the NW passage steps towards the door that her friends vanished down and then as she can see the ghost continues to send pulses of holy power at it, but it seems very good at resisting such an attack and only takes 2 PE.

R5T21: The ghost steps through the wall, and reappears right next to Kris. This surprises Kris as it puts its hand through the upper lung at her right shoulder .... and while there is a superficial sting, it seems to do no damage. Now it is the ghost who is surprised!

R5T21: Ms. Wrentz heads north into the center cell and presses her body against the wall to surprise the thing if it comes out again.

R5T14: St. Dorn, you wipe the dirt out of your eyes and you see again. Lay on hands energy is charged on your hand. What do you do?

R5T14: St. Dorn hoped to catch it before it made it fully through the wall, but fails, as the ghost is now in or south of the wall itself.

R5T8: Lillian fails to move south into the lower room acrobatically past Winter, and the ghost passes its hand through her head to do 21 corruption to the cleric, causing her to retreat even farther away into that room.. Lillian simply touches herself with her charged spell to give herself 15 healing, removing much of the aging she just took.

R6T29: Kris flies away, purposefully giving the ghost an opening as she does, and the ghost takes full advantage of the offering ... passing its hand through her abdomen and lower back 20 corruption. Once south of Winter, Kris begins to cast a spell and the ghost hits her again, this time passing its hand through her casting arm. She does a better job resisting this time, only taking 14 corruption, but it was still painful enough that she lost her spell, and the sorcerer feels her mana ticking away.

R6T22: Winter looks at the ghost and whispers a low curse, "Enough of this." Standing before it already, she begins casting a spell, assuming that the ghost cannot harm her, but as she casts it swings a blue-glowing left fist that strikes her in the left shoulder for 14 force, knocking the wind out of her and making her lose her spell.

R6T21: Kris just barely recognizes the fist-fakeout that the ghost does - keeping her from being caught flat-footed - but his right hand still passes through her chest. Knowing what's coming, Kris resists, but still takes 16 corruption.

R6T18: Ms. Wrentz repositions to the southeast corner of the main outer hall.

R7T29: Kris tries to cautious fly away by going back and up, but she underestimates the effort it takes to go upwards, and in that split-second of understanding the ghost passes its hand through her protection and her high-center chest. She was so focused on the flight that when she gets hit she doesn't resist the aging effect. In mid-air, the already seemingly gone from youthful Kris to current middle-age, rapidly goes through the cycle of life as she falls ... through old age, into an old crone, and her head splits open on the rocky floor as her brains spill out ... making it completely without doubt what her current situation happens to be.

R7T22: Winter, Krisztina "Kris" Boyka Marquering, one of the Briarstone Asylum patients whom you felt responsible for and had survived ... was just killed in a most horrible way in front of your eyes even as you enjoy FH8. What do you do?

R7T22: Winter screams in anger and grief as Kris is killed by the foul apparition that they cannot seem to hurt. Opening herself once more to her gods, she directs all of her disgust at it, channeling yet more positive energy at the thing. It resists, only taking 6 mod PE. "Be gone! Why will you not depart this realm?!?" she cries as she does so.

R7T21: The ghost steps northwest through the wall. Thus revealed, Ms. Wrentz fires her crossbow, but St. Dorn is in her way and her shot misses. The ghost fails to fake out St. Dorn and misses the paladin.

R8T22: Chasing down the vile ghost, Winter stands astride a dead skum and begins to channel her most powerful spell into trying to unmake it. It throws a blue-glowing fist at her, which is stopped by her armor, and she succeeds in her casting, but likewise fails to land her own attack, the powerful spell still charged on her hand.

R8T21.5: Ms. Wrentz moves north into the eastern cell to hide.

R8T21: The ghost bolts southeast through the wall faster than Winter or St. Dorn can react, and Lillian screams in pain in the next room.

It would normally have hit him with his smite, but it has cover in the wall, and that is all that St. Dorn hits.

R8T8: Lillian studies the ghost, puts her whip in her buckler hand, and concentrates on a positive energy spell. She misses her target, and steps back 5'.

R9T21.5: Ms. Wrentz carefully makes her way in the new darkness to the south, carefully to the doorway. She shoots at the ghost, but misses and speed reloads.

R9T21: The ghost ducks into the floor and then comes up in the floor behind Lillian to touch her in the hip for 14 corruption. Lillian is looking decrepit now.
