The party surges towards the lone wizard, wrapped in his heavy black cloak. The caster remains calm and unperturbed, a harsh cackle echoing through the cavern at Bunny's demand for surrender. Her shot is avoided, and it steps aside from Zassil's mace as the cast moves away from the dracil and into a swipe from Niri's claw.
It ignores the tiger, Claissa, and Lissa as they pelt it with their attacks; clearly this necromancer intended no surrender. Instead it produces a scroll from underneath its cloak, holding it from the top and bottom as it reveals its hands for the first time, covered in thick, featureless black gloves. It's concentration ins undeterred by the barrage against it and the cloaked caster reads from the magical scroll in its raspy, harsh voice.
[Language unknown: "Isstng p Riomwa, itntas his howinger! Catin di set man rutth eeieni es ma! Ol!"] The scroll glowed a fiery and bitter green as the mage directed its energies towards the slain Ogre Mother. The disembodied hand took hold of the energy to spread it as directed, only to pause and burn up.
[Language unknown: "Haca?"] came an expression that could only be surprise from the cloaked caster, directly before it was enveloped by the same energy from the spell.
The dark and concealing hood of the cloak pulled back as the caster reeled, revealing the bare and bony skull of a skeleton. Then the cloak dropped to the ground as though there was no mass beneath it. It settled upon a pile of fresh, desiccated ash on the ground; with a no-longer animate skull resting at the top.
The cavern was suddenly silent; no more enemies and no further interaction from the pile of ash that stood where the caster had been moments before. Zassil felt his strength immediately return as the curse on him ended.
