Like a meteorite from the heavens, a woman falls from the from the skies trailing fire, violently striking the ground among the withering foliage. Though the fall should have broken bones, the woman staggers to her feet, leaking a viscous blue fluid from a multitude of wounds and ruptures scattered across her body - both her latex bodysuit and her very skin is in tatters, showing the ravaged steel beneath. Several of her limbs bent unnaturally and her left hand is missing entirely, the arm ending in a twisted metallic stump. Though her eyes are hidden behind a fracturing visor her expression is frozen into a grinning rictus snarl - the very expression of madness.
"Tz cavKzZzy kzKs arZkkZKd"
"Hush." she whispers.

You spend some more time working on your carpet. Meanwhile, Sa'ron gives a short laugh as he embraces the fiery serpent, catching on fire. Before you can more than gape at the sight, the serpent grows explosively in size as Sa'ron is devoured by flames. Now towering over you and your companions, the great wyrm encircles you, trapping you inside a firewall formed from its own body! Sweltering heat assails you, burning Savannah, Watson, Renzo and Belarion for 364 damage! The withering hedges are devoured in wildfire in the blink of an eye, and the flame spreads to Renzo, setting him ablaze for 662 damage!

Bohw safely floated back down to the ground beside Thunderpaw, in some kind of daze as her madness left her and her senses returned, breathing black sparks of magic from her mouth as she touched down. There was only a moment of an empty calmness on her face, before another kind of madness filled over her in an flash, turning her gaze towards her friend and fully prepared to shout at him.
"Thunderpaw!" Bohw snapped, her voice pained as the rest of her senses caught up to her, remembering the blow she took from the king. "Our-- Our, friends... are in a bad state fighting these champions... we can't rest yet." With a sigh, Bohw gritted through the pain and shook her head, taking the longbow off her back and drawing the string as far as she could pull it to gather energy for a charged attack. In the hand that Bohw was holding the longbow with, she curled out her fingers to reveal the gemstone that was handed to her when he showed up, riding a dragon no less, still clutching onto it tightly like a treasured memento. "Do you know what this does?"
While Bohw takes aim, Mayor is desperately trying to defend himself against the power-fueled blows Enzu is raining down upon him even as Mayor tries to escape. Though Mayor cleared a path with his beam of power, that can only take him so far before the rubble of the great tower that fell here blocks his path again. Even fending off Enzu's blows as best as he can (231)(17+5), even the magically-reinforced shield does not stop the energy blastwaves from washing over Mayor, crashing and crackling over his armor for 848 damage.

Thunderpaw was completely shell-shocked. Granted, one does not simply slay the most powerful person in all the land and not feel a reprocussion. Being granted formal leadership of one's homeland in his dying breath was something else altogether. The still brightly-dressed warrior could hardly think, let alone speak.
The best that could be mustered was a shaking of his head in response to the stone question. The now-lord barely knew what the crystals did, nevermind some stones he had found along the way.
From across the courtyard, the dimly-remembered woman points at you with her arm stump.
"TzZrget DesikZzte: Entity 'Thunderpaw' ZKkzK"
Then she leaps into the air, almost seeming to hover as she unleashes a barrage of magical projectiles and energy beams on you, bombarding you for 245, 420 and 403 damage! Bohw is caught in the crossfire, taking 473 damage.
She then falls into a dive on a collision course with you!

With a swing and a resounding smack, he lobs it over onto Mayor, before the clay solidifies and repairs the broken golem, healing him and raising his defense. "There you go old sport, a touch of the mud to pick you up."
You heal Mayor for 446 health, also raising his defense by 3, using a hammer you suddenly had in the process of doing so! Regardless of the mysterious origins of your hammer, Mayor seems to appreciate your efforts, which to be fair is no great surprise considering that he is being chased around by a power-wielding madman.

Belarion turns and swipes at the fiery elemental. However, the fire itself twists away from the blow, avoiding it altogether! (Hit 4+5 Vs Defense 9+3)
