- Summary: The Valethor gang has discovered a portal to Charn that gets around Alexandria's abdjuration, or a chamber that is convincingly covered in illusions to seem like it is there. Inside, is Alvin, and a construct of Veren's that is determined to destroy Donna. Assisting it, are two displacer beasts, Rakketh and Kessa. Donna moves to engage the construct while Elyanna uses her whip performance to inspire everyone, while Ashes looks deep inside her soul and throws the darkness there at the Iron King, giving him the Evil Eye, over and over. Donna keeps up the attack on the construct, landing heavy blow after heavy blow, while the Displacer Beasts attack her, Elyanna and Ashes. Elyanna manages some good strikes, and Sirri and Illiria assist. As the group seems to be winning, noxious fumes explode from the construct, sickening and nauseating them all.

The group have found themselves in Charn, or at least a room that looks very much like Charn (and feels and smells like Charn as well). The child, Alvin, sits in the middle of the room, guarded by a pair of large, six-legged cats with tentacles sprouting from their forwardmost shoulders. The two felines have a blurry look to them, as if they're about to just... be somewhere else. (Or perhaps they already are.)
"Please," squeaks the child, "Don't let the Iron King hurt m--"
Anything more he was going to say is cut off by a loud clang; a number of metal bars shoot up from the floor (or perhaps just from the space above the floor, as nothing is damaged in the process), forming a ring around the child. A metal plate lifts him upwards, and then a second rockets down from the ceiling, trapping him within the bars as he shrieks. Pieces of dark metal snap out of thin air, making loud clangs and clatters as they slam against one another. Within moments it becomes clear that a humanoid form is taking shape; and by the time it is finished an eight foot tall construct of iron armor with a skeletal visage, rife with pipes that leak greenish, sulfurus gas stands, holding the cage that contains Alvin with his left hand.
"A message from Veren," grinds out a voice, snarling like rusty gears grating against each other as a crown snaps into being in the air over the construct's head. It holds out its right hand and a blade the likes of which makes greatswords look like children's toys materializes with a loud clang, which it points at Donna.
"Should have died when you had the chance!"
Donna says, "I FEEL PERSONALLY ATTACKED. Because, apparently, I'm gonna be."
Sirri's jaw goes slack as the metal construct imprisons Alvin, summons up a sword, and gets itself ready for battle. And makes some threats. "Oh gods," she squeaks, and takes a step back so she's... basically behind everyone else. "Oh gods this is bad. This is terrifying. Now what do we do?!"
<OOC> Elyanna says, "i'm still packing an armload of damselfish, aren't i?" <OOC> Delilah says, "You is. It'll take you an action to put her down nicely," <OOC> Delilah says, "or you can dump her like a sack of potatoes if you'd prefer." <OOC> Elyanna says, "i'll apologize later, we're about to get rocked" <OOC> Elyanna says, "so, potatoes it is, draw maidenhead and start inspire courage" <OOC> Elyanna says, "oh, and 5' in front of illiria so se doesn't get gnawed on" GAME: Elyanna spends ONE use of BARDIC PERFORMANCE.
They're in Charn, of course Taara's going to be watching this...
The red woman, momentarily taken aback by the display of maximum metal, grits her teeth and half turns with a hissed, "Get behind me."
As to whom she's addressing, without taking her eyes from the terrible trio, becomes clear as the halfbreed twists and sinks some into a crouch before letting Illiria shamble a foot or so of freefall.
As she pushes off from the trailing foot to get between the mermaid and their foes, Maidenhead slithers free from Elyanna's belt as she begins her snapping, cracking dance. The percussion to her martial hymn.
GAME: Ashes casts Calm Emotions. Caster Level: 13 DC: 16 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+3: (8)+3: 11 (DB Male will save vs DC16 - Fails) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+3: (9)+3: 12 (DB Female will save vs DC16 - Fails)
The ashen Arvek stares. Time slows down, again, as she watches the Iron King form, Alvin become imprisoned and two panthers... no displacers beasts, prowl closer with threatening noises.
She can smell fish. Right, that's Sirri. Or some lingering crud from the fight with the Fisherman. Her thoughts drift, to happier times and fishing with Merek. She fights to control them, focus.
Still, the situation begs the question, what would Merek do?
"Feiu of the Tears, calm the beasts." Ashlee says, touching her breastplate and staring in the general vicinity of the Displacer Beasts; it's the best eye contact she can make. She meets both, her eyes, her skull face suggesting even to them: 'remember, you are mortal, you can die here'.
"Don't attack the animals, they should stay calm."
GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+10: (7)+10: 17 (on Donna - miss) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+6: (19)+6: 25 (on Ashes - hits) GAME: Delilah rolls 2d10+5: (16)+5: 21 GAME: Ashes rolls 1d20+13+4: (6)+13+4: 23 (Concentration vs DC33 - Fail, Calm Emotions lost) GAME: Delilah damaged you for 21 points. 67 HP remaining.
The Iron King launches itself through the air, leaping with surprising speed over the Displacer Beast in front of it that seems to have gone... rather non-aggressive for the moment. "Have at you!" it declares in a loud, cavalier tone of grating steel. The sword it wields comes crashing down in the space where Donna had been standing a moment earlier, forcing her to step aside to avoid being struck, and precipitating a spray of stone chips from the floor. As the sword comes back up the King slashes sideways with it, catching Ashes in the process and laying a deep wound into the Mourner. "Death to the Murderess' Sister and her Friends!" it bellows.
Behind the King, the two Displacer Beasts shake their heads and the Female one roars and snarls, as they shake off the effects of Ashes' spell. But, it takes a moment to regain their bearings, and so for the moment they still do not attack. A brief reprieve at best, but a reprieve nonetheless.
<OOC> Donna says, "Rage (Haste, Blur), Bringing my AC to 21 with a 20% miss chance." GAME: Donna RAGES!, gaining +2 to melee attack/damage/Will saves and 18 temporary HP <OOC> Delilah says, "The Male Beast is 15 feet away, the Female Beast is 25 feet away, and the King is in your bidness." <OOC> Donna says, "Awesome! I'm'a scootch around behind him. Would you allow use of Bluff to provoke attention?" GAME: Donna rolls bluff: (13)+7: 20 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+5: (10)+5: 15 (Will vs DC20 Bluff)
Battered, bruised, and bleeding as she is, theres *very real* concern when the massive sword misses her, and doesn't miss Ash.
Nope. Not gonna happen again.
The brawler's outline shivers, smears, and she very nearly teleports to a place behind the massive ironclad creature, scooping a bit of muck from the ground and hurling it at the back of the Iron King's head. **S P L A T**
"Oi, what the fuck *is* it with that sword? I'd say you're compensatin' for something, but we both know it's all about Veren, an' she ain't *shit.* But she's got talent, 's *seriously* impressive when a woman's got Tiny Dick Problems!"
Illiria oomphs as she lands on the ground without complaint; she was already bracing for it as the Keeper twisted to put her down, given that she expects the Hobkin to need her hands to fight with. She scrambles backwards as best she's able until she's up against the wall, and rests one hand over her breast. "I will support you as best I am able," she pledges. "Fight with your all, great champions. Save the child!"
GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8: (3)+8+2: 13 (+2 flanking, Male DB Tent Whip Donna - Miss) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8: (12)+8+2: 22 (+2 flanking, Male DB Tent Whip Donna - Miss) <OOC> Delilah says, "But there's a 20 chance it misses. Pick a number and roll a 1d5? :D" GAME: Donna rolls 1d5: (1): 1 (1 is miss)
The Male Beast, shaking off the cloud of haze in its mind from Ashes' spell like its Female counterpart, shakes its head and snarls. And, there's someone in front of it, that isn't quite facing towards him, really. Such an opportunity is too much to pass up.
The Beast lunges forwards, whipping its tentacles with their weaponized tips into the space Donna occupies; or at least, near to it. Seems Donna has taken a leaf out of their book, and it has worked.
<OOC> Elyanna says, "whip his ass, maintain the inspiration" GAME: Elyanna spends ONE use of BARDIC PERFORMANCE. GAME: Elyanna rolls weapon1+1: (2)+12+1: 15 (+1 Inspiration) GAME: Elyanna rolls weapon1+1-5: (8)+12+1+-5: 16
Suddenly, everything is in action, and Elyanna's reactions aren't up to heading them off. Donna evades the blade, but Ashes is hurt, and the Keeper's eyes narrow in anger.
Her driving chant continues as she tries to lash the construct with Maidenhead, though to no avail on either stroke, each capped with a supersonic >crack!< of the silvern popper. Each in time, even misaligned, with the hobkin's rythm.
<OOC> Ashes says, "Evil Eye Hex on the Iron King, -4 to AC," <OOC> Ashes says, "swift to cackle to make it last an extra round, so it will last 2 or 7, depending on his Will Save" GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+5: (14)+5: 19 (will vs DC20 - 7 rounds active, ends round 9)
A pained grunt escapes Ashes as the Iron King's blade slashes across her, staggering her back and breaking her concentration. The look she gives him is one of pure hatred. Her eyes burn deep in the skull marking that is her face.
She wants him injured. She wants him hurt. She wants him dead. His armour will fail. He will bleed.
She cackles at the thought, a short, sharp laugh that echoes and bites. She will watch him die. Her stare is unwavering.
GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+10: (4)+10: 14 (IK on Donna) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+6: (13)+6: 19 (IK on Donna) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8: (2)+8: 10 (DB Female lunge chomp on Donna - miss)
"YOU WILL DIE, SISTER OF THE MURDERESS BITCH," the Iron King roars as it turns, swinging the cage wide in the air with the screaming Alvin inside, wheeling around to face Donna. The sword is raised and brought straight down, once again smashing the ground and sending up a shower of rock chips -- which the keen-eyed might note do not match the floor -- and then a second time, missing the plucky Brawler both times. "Sit still and accept your fate," it snarls, "Your head will roll so your sister may see what awaits her!"
The Female Beast, finally clear-headed, darts forward as well; and it attacks the closest thing to it, namely Donna, against whom it snarls and lunges, almost taking a chunk out of her leg.
Almost.
But not quite.
GAME: Donna rolls bluff: (6)+7: 13 (Bluff for attention again, then Full Attack) GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2: (5)+13+1+1+2+-2: 20 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2: (18)+13+1+1+2+-2: 33 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2-5: (13)+13+1+1+2+-2+-5: 23 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2-5: (7)+13+1+1+2+-2+-5: 17 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+5: (10)+5: 15 (Will vs DC13 - Success!)

*wiff* *wiff* *wiffwiff*
Attack after attack falls toward the brawler, but none seem to land, some missing by hairsbreadth. "Man forget Veren, *you* ain't shit," Donna sneers, dancing forward amid a scree of fang, tentacle and blade to unleash a hail of blows upon the creature, denting iron plating and making the room ring like a bell struck by a hypercaffeinated Gobber.
"Buddy the only thing I'm rolling is my eyes, are you *seriously* the best that up-jumped little stage magician can do? Iron King, feh, more like Paper Princess, fuck outta here."
<OOC> Delilah says, "Illiria channels to heal all y'all." GAME: Delilah rolls 8d6: (27): 27 GAME: Delilah damaged you for -27 points. 88 HP remaining. GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+9: (13)+9: 22 (Sirri is gonna slip in and stab the Iron King. - hits) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d4+1+2d6: (2)+1+(6): 9 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d6: (2): 2 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8: (20)+8: 28 (he Male Displacer attacks... Donna, because her ass is still right there.) <OOC> Elyanna says, "they's all about DAT. ASS." GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8: (5)+8: 13 GAME: Donna rolls 1d5: (3): 3 (1 is miss - hit) Donna says, "Dat ass get a chomp." GAME: Delilah rolls 2d6+5: (7)+5: 12
"Fight for the child!" Illiria cries out, "Fear not the wounds of the flesh, I will mend you for as long as I am able. The child must live! The innocent must always be shielded against the depredations of evil!" She raises her hands and chants, dispersing a radiant warmth that soothes the wounds of her allies.
Sirri, for her part, has decided to follow Donna's fine example. "I'mma stabbim!" she yells, the words tumbling over each other as she psyches herserlf up and runs in, manouvering up behind the Iron King and stabbing him right between knee and ankle. There's a loud 'ting' as one of the pipes breaks, forcing the gnome to withdraw, coughing loudly, "Oh gods, that... that really *stinks*!"
The Displacers are not to be left out, either; the Male of the pair leaps to the side and lashes at Donna with his tentacles, and at long last something connects with the Brawler, drawing blood from her back. At the smell of blood in the air both beasts exult, roaring their pleasure.
<OOC> Elyanna says, "can i 5' around the kin to set up a flank with donna?" <OOC> Elyanna says, "drop Maidenhead and draw my falchion, maintaining the song for this last round" <OOC> Elyanna says, "(it will linger for another 2)" GAME: Elyanna rolls weapon2+1: (8)+8+1+2: 19 (+2 Flank) GAME: Elyanna rolls 2d4+4: (5)+4: 9
The fight is entirely too close to bank on the extra tricks Maidenhead allows her, so Elyanna allows it to slide from her fingers to her feet. With the suffusion of healing light form Illiara, she moves to maneuver behind the self-righteous construct as her falchion hisses harshly from it's scabbard.
Still sounding what would be the final chords of her song, now unaccompanied by percussive lashes, she brings the heavy blade diagonally across the armoured back with a sharp >Clang!< that promises a week with a whetstone in her future.
She has almost nothing left, but her final chords still seem to carry the spirits past their last echo.
<OOC> Ashes says, "Evil Eye hex his saving throws, swift to cackle and extend it a round," <OOC> Ashes says, "move action to draw my khopesh and perhaps flank with Sirri if a 5' step will do it." GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+5: (12)+5: 17 (Will vs DC20 will - fail so 7 rounds of -4 Saving throws, ends Round 10)
"HA!" Ashes laughs, a mirthless bark timed to coincide with Elyanna's strike. Her gaze remains on the Iron King, all the hatred nurtured by her upbringing and heritage focused into her dark, glaring eyes. A stare that finds the weaknesses in confidence, even among those that are unassailable.
She's watched a vampire die. She's watched a dragon die. She will watch this servant of Veren be brought low. She reaches behind her back and draws her Khopesh. The blade leaves a ghostly after image as she moves with it. She steps around Sirri to take up a position that would assist her.
And her eyes, her glaring eyes... they stay on him.
GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+10: (7)+10: 17 (The Iron King is going to unload on Donna, and bark orders at the Displacers) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+6: (18)+6: 24 GAME: Donna rolls 1d5: (5): 5 (1 is miss - hit) GAME: Delilah rolls 2d10+5: (9)+5: 14 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8+2: (7)+8+2: 17 (+2 Flank, Female Displacer is gonna go give Elyanna some Kitty Whippins.) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8+2: (20)+8+2: 30 (+2 Flank) (THREAT) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8+2: (17)+8+2: 27 (+2 Fank) (Confirmed) GAME: Delilah rolls 4d6+10: (15)+10: 25 "MEOW."
"Cry worthless insults all you want, little girl! You cannot save your sister! Her doom is writ in blood and one way or another, by one axe or another, her head shall be claimed!" The Iron King whirls his sword around, missing Donna by inches. "Rakketh! Get the grey goblinoid bitch! Kessa, the Red one is yours! Take flesh from bone and DEVOUR THEM." As the King belts out his orders, his sword comes down hard, this time striking the Brawler and drawing no shortage of blood.
The Female Displacer, Kessa apparently, doesn't delay in following orders -- almost too quickly, it dives into battle with Elyanna, moving around behind her and landing one of its tentacles in a devastating blow to hip and gut, leaving the Keeper with a wound she won't soon forget.
<OOC> Donna says, "Okay. Bluff the King again, but I'm dividing my snoot-boops evenly between both." GAME: Donna rolls bluff: (18)+7: 25 <OOC> Donna says, "And the cat gets the first taps, due to extra AC-penalty padding on the king. :D" GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2: (20)+13+1+1+2+-2+2: 37 (+2 Flank) (THREAT) GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2: (9)+13+1+1+2+-2+2: 26 (+2 Flank) (Confirmed) GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2+2-2: (1)+13+1+1+2+2+-2+2: 20 (EPIC FAIL) GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2-5: (11)+13+1+1+2+-2+-5: 21 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2-2-5: (12)+13+1+1+2+-2+-5: 22 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+2+3+1: (1)+1+2+2+3+1: 10 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+2+3+1: (3)+1+2+2+3+1: 12 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+2+3+1: (3)+1+2+2+3+1: 12 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+2+3+1: (1)+1+2+2+3+1: 10 <OOC> Donna says, "Ho-kay! 22 each to King and Cat." GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+1: (16)+1: 17 (will vs DC25)
"See," Donna says, only vaguely upset by the King's slash, and only annoyed by the 'beast's lashing tentacle. "The problem with you is, you think you, like, *matter.* Hangonasec--" Raising a finger as if the King were meaningless enough to turn her back on, even for a moment, and expect him to sit there and take it, she turns, backhanding the displacer beast across the muzzle at first, then bringing her armored fist solidly on its nose. "BAD. KITTY."
Turning back, she grins savagely, fists looping out to ring twice against its iron-armored hips. "Cup check~!" she sings mockingly, and looks up at the creature. "Guess there ain't nothing there, either. You got brains at all, bud? Even, like, metaphorical ones? Cos I mean, here you are, doin' what Veren wants, thinkin' as you actually *got a shot* to do what the bitch who *taught Veren how to be an asshole* couldn't..."
<OOC> Delilah says, "Illiria is gonna crawl across the floor and get beside Elyanna so she can heal her." GAME: Delilah rolls 3d8+15: (15)+15: 30 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8+2: (5)+8+2: 15 (Sirri stabs the king! Why not? - Miss) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8+2: (7)+8+2: 17 (+2 Flank, the Male Displacer goes to take a chomp out of Ashes.)
"By the Gods and Goddesses of the Sea," Illiria gasps, "Elyanna, you endure so much!" She drags herself across the floor, flexing her tail to move as best she can, until she can lay a hand on the Keeper's leg. She chants, and the warmth of healing floods Elyanna's body, sealing her wounds and stopping her bleeding.
Sirri meanwhile is feeling optomistic, and lunges once more, jabbing at the King with her short sword. "I'mma get you!" she half snarls, half squeaks. "Nobody abuses a child and gets away with it! Not even children who're bigger than me!" Unfortunately however, her weapons scrapes over the King's armor, without leaving any particular damage aside from an ineffectual scratch.
The Male Displacer, Rakketh, receives the punches from Donna without answer, as he immediately leaps to the Iron King's instructions and runs around behind Ashes, pulling back his lips to bear his teeth and then lunging, biting right at Ashes' flank -- but luckily, not managed to connect.
<OOC> Elyanna says, "full attack ms kitty, maybe talk some smack so no one goes after illi" GAME: Elyanna rolls weapon2+1: (13)+8+1: 22 GAME: Elyanna rolls weapon2+1-5: (13)+8+1+-5: 17 GAME: Elyanna rolls 2d4+4: (7)+4: 11
Gasping between parting fangs as the felinoid dares to draw her blood while she had been focused on their master, the red woman turns, bringing her falchion across the creature's body with a solid bite.
Her followup doesn't come as close to sealing the deal, however, and she asides, "The power to make such an impressively noisy construct..."
She shivrs a moment as she is suddenly again graces by the restorative powers at Illiria's command, and she smiles gratefully to her benefactress, then, returns her focus to her target and continues, "granted to an imbecile." in an urbane tone.
<OOC> Ashes says, "Standard to Evil Eye his attacks, Swift to cackle to extend it one round, no real move action" GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+1: (13)+1: 14 (will vs DC20 Fail - -4 attacks for 7 rounds, ends Round 11) <OOC> Ashes says, "-4 to AC, -4 to saves and -4 to hit now"
"No kitty." The Mourner says, keeping her stare fixed on the Iron King. The beast will have its time if it keeps this up. She should have saved her calming spell until the Iron King is brought down. Oh well.
In the meantime, she glares, her dark eyes burning as she focuses on the foe's hand. As he raises his blade, she spots a moment where his grip adjusts. She cackles, "HA! Your hold is weak."
After which, she fumes in silence, keeping the fire of her hatred stoked and the look she earned from Nan Mochtrath unwavering.
GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+6: (13)+6: 19 GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+2: (1)+2: 3 (EPIC FAIL) GAME: Delilah rolls 1d20+8+2: (7)+8+2: 17 (Kessa gives Elyanna a chomp)
"ENOUGH PRATTLE! YOU DIE NOW, ACCESSORY TO MURDER!" The Iron King roars his anger, raising his sword and swinging it down mightily, albeit not accurately, thanks to Ashes' efforts. "None may stand before the King!" he roars, raising his sword and bringing it back down once more, with much the same lack of effect, which leaves the construct howling in absolute rage.
Kessa, meanwhile, lunges and darts around Elyanna, and finally picks a moment to lean in and bite the keeper -- but manages only to get a mouthful of clothing and tear it loose, leaving the feline to spit it out and snarl.
<OOC> Donna says, "Full 5-hit attack, since Elyanna's song is still going *and* I have flanking." GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2+2-2: (13)+13+1+1+2+2+-2: 30 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2+2-2: (7)+13+1+1+2+2+-2: 24 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2+2-2: (3)+13+1+1+2+2+-2: 20 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2+2-2-5: (3)+13+1+1+2+2+-2+-5: 15 GAME: Donna rolls finesse+1+1+2+2-2-5: (6)+13+1+1+2+2+-2+-5: 18 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+3+1: (3)+1+2+3+1: 10 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+3+1: (3)+1+2+3+1: 10 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+3+1: (2)+1+2+3+1: 9 GAME: Donna rolls 1d4+1+2+3+1: (4)+1+2+3+1: 11 (40 more punch damage!)
"Prattle? Fucking prattle?!" Donna loops to one side, then the other, weaving away from the sword and keeping her feet solidly planted. "Veren *framed my sister,*"
KLONG A fist buckles armor plating around where the construct's ribs should be.
"MURDERED HER GIRLFRIEND,"
SPANG go heavily armored knuckles against the joint of a pauldron as counterpoint for that exaggeration.
"ALMOST GOT HER KILLED,"
WHANG The hips once more receive a looping, fell haymaker.
"AND NOW WE GOTTA FUCKARSE ABOUT INNA SEWERS TO MAKE SURE SHE DON'T DIE *ANYWAY!!*"
BONG goes the final strike, right on the cheekguard of the helmet.
"WHAT I WANNA KNOW, *WHO THE FUCK YOU THINK YOU ARE TO GET IN OUR WAY?!"

As Donna hits the King the final time, something audibly breaks; a pipe ruptures, and with a loud *PFHISSSSSS* a cloud of gas billows out. The King hold Alvin's cage high, laughing as the gas fills the space around him. "NOW PERISH," he snarls as noxious fumes fill the ear, burning throats and eyes and turning the stomachs. The gas doesn't spread far; but all those who are in the immediate vicinity find themselves feeling the effects.
"Uuuuugh," Donna groans, as the gas billows outward, hunching over as she fights her roiling stomach. "Okay that's nasty..." Squinting up through watery eyes at the Iron King, the brawler's lip curls in a vicious sneer. "Man, Iron King's about the worst name you can have. Fart Prince, now... *Definitely* more your speed."
And there is is again, her best tactic used against her. The nauseating gas overcomes the Mourner. As she heaves, and all her pets throw up inside her clothes and armour, she makes a mental note to get something to prevent this happening.
Again.
She misses her wasp swarm, and coughs, and coughs, her stomach turning inside out. "Fart Blastard," she gasps, suggesting another moniker.
On the plus side, is hasn't made her hatred of him any weaker.
It isn't seemly to unleash a chunky battle cry.
It doesn't inspire the troops.
It doesn't demand the proper respect from one's enemies.
Nonetheless, as the foul effluvia washes over her, filling nose and lungs with eyebiting, stomach churning hell, there's naught the Keeper can add to the conversation but, "Hrgblrblrblrblrblrblrbrlrrrggl!"
