Instead, he chooses to use forest-magic on them, as he did with the sharks from before. Unlike last time though, he warms up first, melodies rising and falling before morphing into a sonorous, almost mechanically delivered chant. Those golden particles begin to materialise and form petal-shaped projectiles that shoot towards the zombies.
2. Being the Prince of the Linn, Phikul's dealt with many raging forest denizens, so he has some idea of how he'll go about with this. He only hopes that it'll also work on evil supernatural dogs.
The time between this and the zombie battalion has allowed him to “recharge” his vocal cords. He sings it a gentle lullaby, in fact an incantation that puts the target's inner workings in a sort of slowed-down state, effectively making it gradually lose consciousness.
“That's th- wait, I have to kill it?”
Somewhat hesitantly, Phikul shifts into humanoid form, pulls off his diadem, and thrusts a sharp point into its cranium.
3. Phikul hasn't used this incantation in a while, but he manages to turn into a dove and flies as high as he can, away from the hands.
1. The zombies are not phased at all by your melodies, your chants, or even your projectiles. They keep marching towards you lifelessly without any harm done to them. Deciding it's not worth it, you calmly run away from them before they devour you.
Rolled 3 and 1+ for calmness for 4.
2. And like before, your melodies don't stop the demonic beast. In fact, it appears you made it more furious. It lunges at you. And you're too weak to escape from it as it tears into you like you were a chew toy. It swings you around in its mighty jaws before it throws your lifeless body against the tree. The Ranger appears and with a flick of his/her wrist, you're back to life.
Your death cries are more music to my ears than any melody you produce.
Rolled 2.
3. You are not quick enough to fly from the hands as they drag you right into Hell. You fall in the hole before flames rise up, spitting you outside where you now resemble a Thanksgiving dinner. Again, the Ranger brings you back to life in your normal form.
For that brief moment, it was like the dinner at Plymouth.
Rolled 3.
Phikul has scored a total of 9 points.
I like bananas. They're yellow.
