Ooooh… Children of Marye Anne… Sons of the Veilleux bloodline… Keraptis “Welcome, Veilleux sons… come claim your doom.” Keraptis: “ARISE, MY SERVANTS!” Monsters appear: Two Invisible Stalkers A massive Rock Golem Four Gargoyles A Water Weird A Fire Elemental Troy: “Eric — left! Coda — with me!” Eric: I feel their steps in the dust and stone, Blades of air, but I’m never alone. A perfect strike — a shadow’s bite, The unseen falls before the night. Coda growls, finishing the second stalker. Troy: A golem of stone with a molten core, Each step shaking the mountain floor. Valorn blazes — holy light, Stone meets storm in the final fight. He shatters the golem with a radiant strike. Phillip (roaring): “DIIIEEEEE!!!” He cleaves one in half. Another claws his back. A third bites deep into his shoulder. Phillip drops to one knee. Phillip: “Not… yet…” A gargoyle dives for the kill— [ANNIE TELEPORTS IN] Annie :”I am always with you!” Call Lightning — a bolt destroys the gargoyle. Moonbeam — silver fire burns another. Entangle — vines bind the last one. She kneels beside Phillip. Cure Wounds (4th level) His tattoos ignite with Celtic fire. Phillip: “ROUND TWO!” The weird coils around Troy’s leg. Eric: “Hold on!” Annie: “Be still!” Control Water — the weird freezes. Troy shatters it with a holy strike. The elemental surges toward Eric. Phillip: “TASTE THE AXE OF MY FATHER!!” He cleaves flame itself. Annie: “Winter’s wrath — FALL!” Ice Storm — frost extinguishes the elemental. Keraptis: “You dare challenge ME?” Chain Lightning Phillip takes the full blast — falls. Annie: “NO!” Healing Word Phillip rises again. Phillip: “I’m… still… fighting…” Troy vs. Keraptis Troy: “Your reign ends NOW!” Valorn clashes with arcane shields. Eric vs. Keraptis Eric teleports behind him — daggers flashing. Eric: “You bleed like anyone else.” Coda vs. Keraptis Coda leaps, tearing into the wizard’s arm. Phillip vs. Keraptis Phillip swings Giant Killer — shattering Keraptis’ staff. Keraptis (screaming): “NO! MY POWER!” Annie’s Final Spell Annie: “Nature… END HIM!” Wrath of Nature Stone, vines, wind, and lightning crush Keraptis. Troy, Eric, Phillip (together): “For Marye Anne! For the Veilleux bloodline!” Valorn. Daggers. Giant Killer. Coda’s fangs. Annie’s storm. Keraptis is obliterated. Choir: Ooooh… Children of Marye Anne… Sons of the Veilleux bloodline… Phillip: “If you ever need me again… use the ring.” Troy: “We will.” Eric: “Count on it.” Coda howls. The mountain falls silent.
