Ezzozito bloats horribly, and with a feral ear piercing scream, ruptures and explodes, the wicker arm holding him up from the ground cracking and breaking apart! You are showered with burning Afflicted fluid, guts, and debris. Everyone make a DC15 DEX save to take half of 17 necrotic damage as the remains of Ezzo burn and dissolve your flesh.
Shiara felt the last breath leave her body, stolen in Ezzozito's final death.
If this was how she finally fell, she was ready.
This was a good way to die.
Now it was time for the darkness.
How many times had she come here? To take from death, to cheat it. They played a little game that she'd always known she'd lose one day. They were not enemies. They were not friends. They were something else.
Death reached out its hand. And Shiara did what she had always done.
Jeremiah jerks upright, retching and coughing, looking incredibly pale. He sees Hera standing over him and smiles (grimaces), ‘Thank you Hera. That was a tough one. Is everyone okay?’
Ingrid’s flaming wings sear her flesh as they fold into her back. She plunged her axe into the earth as she reaches over and picks up the husk that was once Shiara, cradling her close as Ingrid finds a solitary hill, away from the ugliness and stench of battle.
She will quietly spend the time digging a grave for her necromantic friend. “Rest now, be at peace, free from your bond. Thanks to you, the vile affliction lost a powerful servant.” Ingrid leaves Shiara’s rosary on her grave marked by a simple wooden marker.
After a time, Ingrid speaks, “We need to keep moving, we have much to do before we too can be laid to our rest.”

Jimmy's DC15 DEX ST: 9
Easily jumping out of the way of the exploding Ezzo, the battlefield finally becomes silent. But not for long. Jimmy's insanity rears its ugly head again, and he's racked with an uncontrollable giggle that echos throughout the entire hillside.
A few spare minutes later, he finally manages to get the giggling under self control again, when he realizes they're not alone.
"Ummmm, guys? Who's that?" as he point to the newly born stranger (Skaya).
Unsure of the provinence of the new stranger, thinking that they may have to prepare for battle all over again, Jimmy casts Cure Wounds - 2nd level onto Hera, healing her for 15 hp.
Thunk. Thunk. Bolt after bolt flew through the air, piercing the hearts of spawn after spawn. They were weak. Newly born and just as lacking in strength as infants, but they could grow to so much more. Like the creature across the room, dodging bolts from her crossbow.
"An impressive little toy, your magical crossbow," the hunched being hissed, baring fanged teeth at its attacker. "But rather...useless up close, don't you think?" It blurred across the room, claws and fangs reaching for the woman's throat, to tear at her flesh and drink her blood...
It never got the chance. The crossbow shimmered with dark light, then transformed in a moment to that of a long rapier, roses carved around the hilt, blade sinking into the creature's chest. It fell with a gurgle. Skaya cast a dispassionate eye over the chaos she had caused, then turned and left. She was not done yet.
That was when the inhuman shriek echoed across the horizon. Skaya sighed and set out for it. Whatever it was, it would lead her closer to her goal.
A young woman enters the yard, casting her eyes around at the chaos. She wears a dark red coat with the symbol of the Brotherhood embroidered on her chest, and carries in her hand an unsheathed rapier formed of black metal, with sculpted red roses at the ends and center of the hilt. She is also spattered with a variety of fluids and bits of flesh. She eyes you all with a mix of caution and interest, dark energy flickering around her form. "I could ask you the same thing. Did you do this?" She gestures to the ruins of Ezzozito.
OOC: I assume we all are still wearing our Helm of the Brotherhood? So Skaya would recognize the symbol, as would we recognize the symbol on her chest?

Death again.
It was almost comfortable, now.
Shiara felt the last breath leave her body, stolen in Ezzozito's final death.
If this was how she finally fell, she was ready.
This was a good way to die.
Now it was time for the darkness.
How many times had she come here? To take from death, to cheat it. They played a little game that she'd always known she'd lose one day. They were not enemies. They were not friends. They were something else.
Death reached out its hand. And Shiara did what she had always done.
She took it.

Jeremiah collapses, struggling to breathe...
Family.
What is family?
It's not who births you, no matter what others might claim.
Family is who chooses you.
And what do you do when your family falls?
Avenge them, of course.
No matter how long it takes.
No matter what you must do.
No matter who you must serve.

Go ahead and level up, too.
