It took a few moments for Storm Eye to realize the ice under his feet, which didn't quite extend to his minions.
"Dammit, I HATE tricksters!" Storm Eye almost immediately yelled out. "GET HIM!!"
Agolas, obliging, raised his bow, arrow already nocked, as if ready to fire. Setting his feet carefully, he pulled back the bow and fired it at Jeff, and the arrow went into his stomach, causing fresh blood to pour out of it.
Walter considered his options. He could try to heal his ally or go directly after the lich... Walter chose the latter, letting his senses enter the astral plane... but he couldn't get a hold of Storm Eye's astral threads.
At this point, Darrith's feral nature took over. From within his wings he procured a small, rolled-up piece of parchment, and started reading the words on it. Storm Eye, Agolas, AND Zotacthant all tried to cover themselves, but to no avail: a blinding flash of light enveloped the room, somehow leaving his group unhurt. But when it cleared, Storm Eye, Agolas, and Zotacthant were all horribly burned. And the scroll was gone from Darrith's hands.
This in turn caused Storm Eye to go over the edge. He carefully got to his knees - being extra careful due to the ice - and directed his arms at the draconian who had moments earlier caused him intense pain.
"I HATE ALL OF YOU!" Storm Eye yelled. "Especially YOU, Darrith, for what you're doing! Now DIE!!!"
As he said this, a glowing green orb formed between his hands, growing larger and larger... then the dracolich hoisted it over his head. "DARK DYNAMITE!" the dracolich yelled, as he threw the orb at the draconian.
Almost immediately, it exploded, sending dark energy and rock fragments everywhere. Jeff, Damon, and Walter were able to quickly evade all this backblast, but Layne and Elijah got smacked heavily by the sheer force of darkness and the rock shards. As for Darrith, when the explosion cleared, he was laying face-up on the ground, his chest and abdomen covered in blood and burnt.
When Damon saw this, he started seething. "All right, now you've made ME ANGRY!!" he yelled as he leaped at the dracolich... catching him off guard and sinking the shikomi-zue into his face.
(Jeff's Icy Sheen only envelops Storm Eye. Jeff takes 31 damage, putting him at 27/58 HP. Walter casts Slice and Agolas resists. Darrith uses a scroll and inflicts massive damage (how much is a secret) on the trio. Elijah, Layne, and Darrith take 60 damage from Storm Eye's spell, putting Layne at 2/62 HP, Elijah at 10/70 HP, and marking Darrith as unconscious. Damon ends his delay, and impales Storm Eye (damage is again a secret).
Layne's turn.)
