This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Giant Kaz Ape’s strength was flagging. Open wounds were decaying from the fetid energy of the vampires’ assault. The transformed Druid looked around at their comrade’s unconscious and dying bodies and gave one last rebellious roar as it attempted to take the gnoll vampire with it to the grave.
COME: Attack: 17 Damage: 17

ALL WILL SERVE THE FROSTMAIDEN. AND I MEAN ALL. Sobek18, Spawn3(17)(AC14/HP46), Kaz16,Lucas12DOWN,Vetis11DOWN, Spawn2(10)(AC14/HP70), Tekeli-li(8)(AC17/HP147), Spawn1(7)(AC14/HP70) Percy8DOWN, Shrek7DOWN,Kai4DOWN
The three spawns attack, and here comes Tequila Time:
Tekeli-li immediately withdrew and cowered like a wounded animal, tilting his head towards the voice, listening. The spawn fled.
"THAT ONE IS MINE. DO WHAT YOU WILL WITH THE REST."
And Tekeli-li did.
Vetis, you feel life creep back into your veins once more. Cold. So cold. Powerful. A presence commands you. You are the same. Yet different. You have changed.
"COME, MY CHILD. WE HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO."
As you stand there, you feel the baggage of companionship melt away. Like a emerging butterfly, the shell of your former life is discarded. The only evidence left of your "friends" you knew from your previous life are bloody smears on the ice - the vampire gnoll must of dragged them away. There is no sadness, no remorse, and no pain. Only a new life, now, in service to the Frostmaiden.
Shrek's body was encased in an ice cube (a giant one at that), and "served" in a rather gargantuan gin martini (shaken, not stirred) for the vampire gnoll.
This time she saw the truth buried at the core of her being.
This time she understood.
This world was beautiful. Temporary. Fleeting. Just like people. Just like mortals, and feelings, and connections. There and then gone, subject to whim and fancy. Flickering like candles in the winter wind. And so easy to snuff out.
She saw the reason for her being, the reason for her goddess's plans. For all of it.
A world frozen in ice could never wither. Never collapse or die. It would live eternal.
Her concerns and thoughts of fleeting beauty, of things made more pure in their briefness, fled. She understood.
Ice spread over her heart as she opened cold-blue eyes.
Sobek’s body dead, it reverted back to the grey featureless appearance a shapeshifter, but his spirit stepped free - summoned by a long drawn-out howl from the spirit world. His spirit was not that of a man, or even a shapeshifter, but that of a huge timber wolf, his coat cascading with greys and browns. Taking a moment to look down on the bodies of his colleagues, he loped away following the call of the wild...

Kaz ape reverts to elf form as the onslaught of vampiric attacks “bite” into them. The final blow of the gnoll vampire adds insult to injury.

"ENOUGH."

Because, in the end, all will serve.

And they all lived happily ever after...
Last to know and first to be blamed...
As a free action, can I regret my life choices?
Death.
How many times had she died, now?
It didn't really matter, she supposed.
Except that this time was different.
This time she saw the truth buried at the core of her being.
This time she understood.
This world was beautiful. Temporary. Fleeting. Just like people. Just like mortals, and feelings, and connections. There and then gone, subject to whim and fancy. Flickering like candles in the winter wind. And so easy to snuff out.
She saw the reason for her being, the reason for her goddess's plans. For all of it.

It was time to finish the work.
