It is stabbed! This works pretty well for the first couple of stabbings, and then the abomination growls and summons a magical barrier around itself and it is maybe a bad idea to keep on stabbing it, but he can certainly try it if he'd like.

Oh. Those. Okay he can deal with those. His flesh golem can go tackle it and he can pull on it using spectral hands from his staff.

Permalink

Yeah, that turns out to be a bad idea. Aestrix feels a bit bad about not warning about this beforehand, but: this is a reflective shield, not a defensive shield. Does he like feeling the results of his own magic? Because that is what he's going to experience. His golem too, though that just experiences the unpleasant kinetic reversal of getting its tackle reflected right back at it.

...well what happens is a very dizzying effect where James is pulled towards himself and ends up falling onto his arse.

How about Vlast's magic-cancelling roar?

That one works much better. The reflective shield breaks apart into pieces and the abomination stumbles in confusion.

Oh, did James fall on his arse? Well, this dog thing would like ever so much to help him with that. By pouncing upon him to maim him. Hooray!

Yeah how about no. James has a flesh golem tackling the dog thing for its trouble.

The dog thing is so disappointed. And so tackled.

Abomination thing thinks it can take a dragon, for some reason. It is not, actually, bigger than Vlast, but it's about the closest thing that the Awakened have got. So far.

Permalink

No.

Omnomnom.

Abomination thing immediately regrets this decision!

In other news, looks like the Awakened forces are onto something happening here. The door to Joko's Bone Palace begins to slowly shut. Fortunately for Vlast and James, it was built for sturdiness against prolonged siege, not for being the sort of thing that can quickly slam shut. There are a few Awakened between them and the door.

Vlast growls lightly and turns to look at James—

—who gets it immediately and leaps over onto the dragon's back.

And now the dragon is bounding towards the doors.
