For now the lone nobleman thinks he's going to step back a bit and have a cup of tea. And by step back he means Run, and magically leap back to where the others are and alert them of the corrupted weaponry floating about on their own, just beyond those twisting shadows over there.
"Can someone please assist me in the dispatching of malevolent pieces of regalia? It has been a terrible inconvenience for me, why I dare say, there is some manner of malignant fire eating away at my-"
he looks with sullen eyes at the ground and finds an unstable pile of Remah's blood pooling at their feet trying to eat them. Or raise Remah's body from the dead. Watson can't tell which and honestly does not know why he walks into these things. He instead tries to purify his wound by pouring some of his enchanted water onto it. Watson's hand glows red-hot, speedily and liberally applying 2 cups of the Vase's liquid. It should at least patch him up some if he is not purged.
You retreat to your comrades, leaping away to relative safety where you drink up, restoring 600 health to yourself! Meanwhile, a streak of shadow flashes past you, followed by an intense pain as something rips the dagger from your shoulder and slashes it down your back for 380 damage!
The empty suit of armor charges after you, moving into a spinning sweep with its blade that glances you for 240 damage.

Bohw was just as concerned, stepping back as she observed the change take place, that was a new one. It implied corruption, but there was something different about it, the form almost looked... unstable. "No, don't hit him, we might kill him." Bohw responded to Thunderpaw, "That shadow is on it's last legs, just let it die on it's own."
Heading to leave the room, she shouted a command "Out the room, out the room! Mayor, stay here for Myra and keep spear dude occupied! Don't hurt him! Rest of you, there's more enemies behind us!" Bohw ordered, oddly taking Watson's words at face value, although the wound in his shoulder was more trustworthy than his words ever would be. "Now where's these monsters?" She asked, loading another arrow as she looked for something else to shoot.

Contrary to Bohw's conclusion, the thing that was once Remah seems to be growing more powerful by the second! He had been beaten and lifeless just a moment before, but now he powers through Mayor's attempts to keep him pinned, leaping to his feet in good time to send Renzo's ink soldier barreling into Mayor with a spiked backhand, dealing 220 damage to the both of them. Remah may not have been entirely stable before, but his eyes betray that any pretense at humanity is gone from the thing he has become.
Meanwhile, Bohw shoots the shadow that appeared behind Watson, her arrow catching it in the back for 266 damage (roll 8+5+6).
Renzo heals Savannah and Bohw for 424 health each (roll 17+6).

Thunderpaw follows up Bohw's hit with a Fury Comet, barreling into the center of the new enemy formation. Nothing like a flurry of blows to distract the enemy off of your incompetent group alcoholic!
You launch yourself at the shadow and the armor with meteoric force, crashing into the two of them for 210 damage while they are distracted by Watson! (Roll 2+6, crit)
You recognize the dagger wielded by the shadow figure. It killed two of your friends.
Then you hear the screeching of metal against stone as a now-familiar creature emerges from the way you came, legs once again attached to her torso. Corvid leaves a trail of blue fluid in her wake as her charred and crushed body stubbornly staggers on, one leg bent at an unnatural angle.
"TzZkkZet DeZzktte: EntZty 'ThunderpkZzZt"
Then follows the rapid-fire energy barrage, apparently none the worse for the wear despite the sorry state Corvid is in. You are afflicted with searing pain as three out of four attacks connect, dealing 100, 380 and 570 damage!

She snorts, then jolts in surprise as she feels something... pulling out of her. She glances down, surprised to see that Remah's blood, which had splattered her front, soaked her blade, and stained her skin, was squelching out of her, returning to the body from whence it came. Her face contorts in disgust, and she turns to her companions to whinge. Only to find that only Myra was there, fiddling with the corpse. The fuck? Savannah frowns, glancing at the spear on the floor that Remah was using. Didn't want him to have that, now did they?
"Ey uh... good luck with that, Myra." Savannah scuttles out of the room, kicking the spear after her. Once out and with the rest of her buddies, she drops the greatsword and picks up the spear. As the greatsword hits the ground, it sends out a pulse, passing through Thunderpaw and Watson. Another beat emerges a few seconds later, this one having an actual effect. Growths begin to sprout from the walls, floor, and ceiling. Vines hang from the walls as fungi of all sort take root in musty, dark corners. A tree pushes its way through the ground, cracking it, and stands tall and proud once it's done. Cheeky bastard.
"...Huh?" Savannah glances up, looking at all the new foliage. She still didn't feel any magic... "Did I do that?"
You switch weapons and advertently grow an underground jungle that feeds on magic! Savannah, Watson and Thunderpaw are empowered with unnatural strength.

The time rift had finally dissipated, and the field of time energy holding her captive fell apart as if it fell prey to its own corrosive nature. Myra was now free from her encasement.
As she knew all too well, she had no time to waste, and a debt to pay. Myra quickly took up the pale crystal and the food-making device, stowing the latter away for later use. She rushed into the room with the others, and didn't even stop upon seeing black blood return to the recently-slain man, gasping, "Remah's down!" in the shock of it all. Right now, that was all she understood of the state of things in this time, and that was all that mattered.
While the old hero is still lying down, Myra casts a healing spell on Savannah and Bohw as she makes a dash for the soon-to-be corpse. Riding on a Galeforce, Myra makes use of her Wraith's Jewel to thrust the pale crystal into Remah's heart through magical means. While she wasn't sure if this would work with something starting to take over the dying man, there was certainly no time to stop and think.
A growing jungle fills the cave as you dash out of the room, crystal in one hand, the horn in the other. With one gesture, you heal Savannah and Bohw for 239 health each. With another, you throw the crystal at Remah as he stands twisted and broken before you. Through your guidance, the jagged crystal chunk strikes Remah in the chest, piercing his corrupted heart and ripping out his back, leaving the lifeless body to fall to the ground. Then several things happen at once.
First, the sound of cracking glass echoes through the cavern. Then something explodes from the surface of the fountain in the center of Remah's room. Then come the unbound souls, pouring in waves from the fountain to drift to the ceiling, stuck there like smoke. The room begins to fill up with the ephemeral things until they start pouring into the cavern outside, growing in number with every second.
Next, the crystal lights up as Remah's soul streaks after the crystal in a ribbon of energy, captured within.

The Timeless Spear
Lastly, Razan stumbles as he is freed. Stunned, he looks around wildly, taking in the impossible scene around him.
"No, no, no no! This is not good. The pieces are here but our failings have caught up to us."
He raises his hands and a brilliant sword of light materializes in his grasp, lighting up the cave as he turns to face the three demons.
For its part, the corpse seems extremely agitated by this development. It points at Razan and a wound erupts across his chest for 460 damage!
