"It's not over yet. I have yet to see any...Blood." Corruth's eyes flared with insane rage. Upon the end of his gestures and low, maniacal chanting, a pillar of flame errupted from the space above the beast."COME DOWN HERE, YOU COWARD! I DESIRE YOUR BLOOD!"
--------------- Corruth casts Flame Strike, focusing it on the creatures general area.
Reflex save for half damage: 21
Full Damage from Flame Strike:
12d6+0 5,6,1,6,5,2,1,5,1,6,5,4+0 = 47

The creature (heretoafter going to be referred to as a Linnorm for convenience of myself) recoils in a clearly furious killing anger at it's spells both being ruined. It's spasms of uncontrollable fury shift it out of the way of the slam attack from Bratovich and unfortunately straight into the slashing attack from the invisible Flin.
A piercing howl is heard at the intense agony surging through the creature as a result of the 'vicious' wound. As it rounds angrily on the source of the wound, Vrodash's hand connects with the monster and it seems to wind tighter onto itself if even possible, angrily growling and clenching it's claws tightly as it seems to visibly shake off the strength sapping grasp.
Again rounding on the one who grasped it, it bears down menacingly until a halberd smashes across it's brow, splattering blood from an angry wound to loudly drip to the ground below. The Linnorm lets out a throaty growl, having received two severe wounds, and (any of you who speak Abyssal) you catch the sense of enough cursing in Abyssal to make a demon flinch.
As the pillar of flames bears down, the creatures lets out a truly hate-filled howl and the flames envelop it for a moment before it flicks it's singed body out of the way. It glares downward before immediately returning it's attention back to the "far-too-many-airborne-enemies."
Summary: The Linnorm freaks out as it's turn goes from 'effective strategy' to 'hahah you fail!'. Dimensional Lock is moved from the party, Earthquake is negated. It still backed up 30 feet before being beset by the song which affected it despite it's efforts to resist. Following that, it (barely, on the dot both times) resists both of Vrodash's actions and dodges Bratovich's attack. It takes Flin's attack for the full brunt of the damage but doesn't seem to display any negative effects other than excruciating pain. Phule attempts to go twice in one round as a result of not realizing earlier the Linnorm concluded a pseudo-surprise round. Zoken gives it a nasty head-bleeder from his halberd (he hits and deals full damage). Corruth lights him up with FlameStrike, but he succeeds his reflex save to avoid any additional damage. That is all.
_-_END OF ROUND_-_
Shadow. You're up.

"SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS MODE: GO!" He yells out across the room.
If anyone were able to see shadow currently, they would see a maniacal grin spread across his face and a burning eagerness behind his eyes. Moving a few feet to give himself clear line of sight, he speaks an arcane word of power and suddenly is no longer on the ground, appearing (Or rather NOT appearing as im still invisible) on top of the Linnorm, near the base of its neck. With a grin he plunges his sword into its spine twice, his feet spread slightly as he attempts to stay balanced on its back.
------------------------
Dim. Door onto its back Shadow Pounce (I get a full attack after a teleport effect). 1st attack:19+24+2=45 to hit (Possible crit) Confirm: 12+24+2=38 to hit 2nd attack:19+19+2=40 to hit (Possible Crit) Confirm: 6+19+2=27 to hit (Woot for both confirming!) 1st Damage: 2d6+26+5d6(Sneak attack)=11+26+15=52 2nd Damage: 2d6+26+5d6(Sneak attack)=10+26+20=56
And I need two DC 15 Fort Saves VS. Massive Damage.
Balance check to stay on it: 15+12=27

The Linnorm howls before the noise breaks into a gurgling and it crashes to the bottom of the cavern with an incredibly loud clamor. Shadow leaps (and some would guess possible shadow jumpery for a split second) from its back at the last possible moment to avoid harm as the creature's body impacts with the ground and bleeds lifelessly. Shadow grins maniacally and is about to shout something (which may or may not have been "FUCK YEAH SEAKING!") before he staggers to the side for a moment (rapidly recovering his balance with a pivot of his feet), after an ebony skinned arm wearing a white-satin elbowlength glove pushes him.
"You call that graceful?" Elisabetha laughs, "You almost tripped after you landed! You should be less careful." She returns to being unseen rapidly. Returning to an observer's capacity.

Smiling he looks at where Elisabetha disappeared, and he drops a mock bow. Dropping his invisibility, after recoving from being pushed, he grins like an insane man at the group. With a flourish and a bow he looks over at Corruth, his shortsword dripping with the Linnorms blood. "Well I do believe I brought him down for you...Sorry I couldn't do it in a more alive capacity...But at least there is some blood for you." Leaning over he wipes his blade casually on the linnorms skin before seemingly effortlessly melding back into the shadows.
Hide: 18+36+10=64 Move Silently: Nat 20(Rerolled)->18+28=46

Kir'orr'mok dismounts and slowly walks up to the corpse. "Is this it then? If so, I will begin preparations to have this creature serve Vrtra. Elisabetha, is that alright with you?" Said without looking around and in a thick accent. His two bodyguards never more than ten feet away.

The twisted grin on Corruth's face went back to an emotionless scowl, and he calmly replaced is scythe. "Not to worry. I'm sure that we can find something else." Meanwhile, within Corruth's mind, his other personality screamed with anger. "KILL THE SHADOW-LEAPING BASTARD! He stole MY kill! DEVOUR HIS HEART!!!" Corruth closed his eyes and scowled with a angrier tone this time, replying in his own mind to the insanity. "Shut up."

"Awwww, poor widdle Stupidhead is now poor widdle Stupid-dead!" Jed laughs and so does Denny, as they float around in the sky, keeping their eyes peeled for any surprises.
((Spot 1d20+19: 12+19 = 31
Sorry... Was confused about what was happening. Won't happen till next combat at least, lol.))

Zoken rode back down to the ground, his halberd, now back to its original size, slunk over his shoulder and the floating shield on his back. "Good work, everyone. I believe with this we are finished with the mission. Let's get moving." The knight began to make his way back.

As the skeletal mount reappears below him and his companion, Vrodash briefly chimes in, "Yes, we should return." With that, he begins to go back the same path as Zoken.

Elisabetha purred slowly: "I will report your success and the events that transpired to mother Vrtra. She will likely be pleased. I would encourage that you do not stay here, as these caves may very well extend all the way into a seperate sphere of influence. Either way, your choice Exarchs... I'm sure mother will pleased with the death of this unwanted interloper. Oh, and Kir'orr'mok, you're welcome to perform whatever gruesome acts you like upon it's corpse. It was, as far as we know, unaffiliated with any 'Great Enemies' (the term commonly used to refer to the other major dragon players of Xorvintaal)."
->Provided people will it, you can be instantly back at the Necropolis. I won't tax you with: "You travel for four days. Fight a bugbear, and then finally return." or any such silly thing. As far as what you can do at the Necropolis, well, healing is one thing (if it was needed), research can be done, plans can be made, and audiences may be held with Vrtra or her two 'children'.<-
_-_Elsewhere..._-_
A mirror that bears no reflection shimmers silently before the surface begins to ripple...
[glow=green,2,300]"It proceeds rapidly..."[/glow] [glow=orange,2,300]"Do they know yet?"[/glow] [glow=green,2,300]"How could they?"[/glow] [glow=orange,2,300]"Urge caution... Yes. Caution."[/glow] [glow=green,2,300]"I will con-...We will continue to wait."[/glow] [glow=orange,2,300]"...and watch."[/glow] ...the mirror was still and did naught but shimmer once more.

"I believe that we should return to the Necropolis now. No need in staying here." Corruth crossed his arms and closed his eyes, his mind silent. "And is there really any need to take such a husk back with us? I think we have plenty of dead before we need this...thing." Corruth looked at the large corpse, and turned solid from the incorporeal form that he was in previously.I'm all for going back to the Necropolis.

His voice can be heard coming from the shadows off to the side of the party. "Well there is the small matter of whatever small bit of treasure this thing might have horded away. Does anyone know if these things eat their treasure, or horde it away, or what? I don't generally like to leave perfectly good loot lying around for someone else to take." With that he goes silent for a second before continuing. "Of course, if you all wish to go back right now, feel free. I'll be happy to stay and search for the treasure myself." With that he goes silent again, continuing his usual circling of the party while hiding (As he usually does whenever the party is standing still) Keeping an eye out for anything untoward. (Haha... Spot 12, Listen 2)

"Look for treaure or get out of here, hoss? Whatcha think?"
"Shiny bits? Doojamabobs? I can't remember if Stupidheads hoard their twinklies like dragons do. Let me think about it." Jed leans forward in the air, placing one ghostly fist under his chin, the elbow of that arm coming to rest on his newly raised knee. A thinking pose.
((OOC: Dunno if you want me to roll a new Knowledge on this one, or if the old one will cover it. If you want a new one... oh geez. I just nat 20'd.

"Then cut the beast open and search for it's treasure! I will not let total victory elude me this time! I will have it!" Corruth scowled again, ignoring the thoughts that were obviously not his this time. "If we must search, let's make it quick. I don't want to be here any longer. Surely Lady Vrtra has a more important duty for us as of now."
