Dio:The power of the Logrus guided by her hands and mind explodes in cold fury, slaying demons with ease. She sees the pleading in their eyes and questioning why she would so cruelly dispatch her kind while demons of Amber still stalk the chamber. The man works his way forward with stops now and then to dispatch those demons Dio has yet to finish off. Dio takes not mind to the pleading and the questioning looks, this is a battlefield and had they not attacked her or tried to as well. She was feeling lost and seeing a battle between the Mother Superior and Sister of enforced Repetance against Sir Hammett and the powerful looking lady she knows that her life is going to be upside down and a pandemonium even after this battle. Would Mother Superior and Sister of Enforced Repetance survive, she would be dragged back to the convent and the punishments would be severe and cruel. Would Sir Hammett and the lady win, she would be homeless, possible alone and with no clue what to do. And still that appealed to her more the unknown then the certain cruel punishments and torment she would have to endure in the convent. She watches the man without the shirt, why was she fighting for him. Because he treated her at least decent, just like Sir Hammett. As they approach the fight between the nuns and the Amberites. Dio feels the doubt reach her heart. That woman how cruel and horrid she had been at times, she also raised Dio. Dio yells out. "Please stop! Mother Superior! Sister... "At that point the light show happens and the sounds are heard. Dio stops in and looks again confused.

Hammet:"The Serpent requires more than mere physical gifts to be accepted into his graces."She comes to Hammett with skilled flourishes with her blade and presses him hard in battle. After climbing the mountain and all the battle in this cavern he feels a looseness in his knees, his arm doesn't swing his sword with quite the verve it would when he is better rested. "You ask for a catechism lesson mid-battle? How about this: fighting me means you have already lost all you have been working for. You waste your time here and for what? The girl means nothing to you and all the while your goal gets farther and farther away from you." Hammett switches to a purely defensive fighting style, hoping to regain some stamina by conserving some strength for a few moments. But her words do ring true, but not that there was anything else he could have done given the fog and the multiple "Dorian's" that prevented him from finding the real one. Still, he wasn't going to let her know that... "Lady, I don't even know you and I don't even know why we are fighting. You just happened to be in the direction I was heading through the fog. So if you've got more pressing matters to attend to I won't be offended." Hammett studies her skill and style while they spar, if he believes that with the renewed vigor he might gain by taking it a bit easier, that he can soon turn the tables on her and defeat her, he will stick to that plan. BUT, if he doesn't think he'll recover enough in time, or have the skill to take her on, then he will slowly begins backing up, keeping an eye out in case he is attacked from behind, but also on the terrain at their feet. If the opportunity presents itself, via a slick bool of blood, a severed limb, tentacle or the like, he will back up past it, then if the moment is right he will use the Power Word: Defensive Luck, to cause the woman to slip or stumble and then use that moment to make a killing (or at least debilitating) strike against her.

Brian:Clutching at his chest is useless as the armour of Ayalos is impervious to the pressure he can apply with his hand; this is truly its purpose in preventing things from reaching his skin. Also, the blade ran in from his back through his gut, so there are two wounds, one of which is difficult to reach. Trying to remove the armour requires reaching and stretching in ways that would probably increase the rate of blood loss. He could try to crawl, understanding the risk of bleeding more freely, but where to? He can hear the damn horse bellowing in pain and other sounds of fighting, but it is too much effort to stand, and even raising his head high might be beyond his capabilities. I take a deep breath and I try to crawl back in the vague recollection I have of whence I came. Hopefully the horses direction is a similar point to where I recall going. It sounds like it might be. Its been a very very long time since I've been hurt in battle. I call out to the bird " I don't suppose my dear lady wife might pull me back if I fall? "

Hammett would never forgive himself if Pinky got killed trying to protect him. But maybe she just provided him with the distraction he needed. He makes use of Pinky's surprise attack, and quickly moves forward to try and kill or critically wound the Chaos Priestess.

Lorelei:
The Sister dodges the thrown head, Lorelei's attacks don't manage to strike the woman who moves like a serpent. Likewise, the Sister's whip doesn't strike Lor. "Naughty, naughty child. Do you imagine that I haven't tamed thousands of wayward girls like yourself in my time? You she-beasts always submit in the end and all their stubbornness gains them is greater repentant suffering." This sister must be truly exceptional for a Chaosian; for the moment her snake-like moves makes it appear as if she is holding her own against a grandchild of Oberon. Lorelei presses her attack, hard-pressing her opponent, staying too close for the sist er's whip to be effective, yet back just enough to avoid being bitten. It takes several attacks, parries and feints before it happens (Endurance will eventually come into play)... The sister's attack goes just a little wide aand Lorelei seizes the opportunity and pushes her attack, severing the whip mere inches from the sisters hand. .

Lorelei
The nun can tell that she is overmatched against Lorelei and fights very defensively, backing up step by step toward the cave entrance. Seeing Pinky tackling the M.S. makes her backward steps even quicker. Lorelei severs the whip and it screams like a wounded animal! The long remaining portion is still mobile and lashes at Lorelei's legs long enough for the nun to draw a shortsword.
"I believe someone means harm to you companion over there," she says and gestures towards something behind Lorelei.

Hammett & Dio:
[OOC: Always better to give more detail about where you hope to strike and how aggressive you want to play it. I will have to go to the cards on this one....]
Hammett's sword sliced through the Mother Superior and through a portion of Pinky too.
"Dang, Boss! You really do keep that thing sharp!" she says as she falls to the floor curled up around the wound. She does manage to make large tear-filled doe eyes towards Dalt as he rumbles up.
The mother Superior speaks through a blood-filled mouth.
"What have you done? Look at this girl, what do you see? Who is that standing there?"
She then dies.

Brian:
"Unlikely, master," the raven caws.
Things are getting dark for Brian as he crawls. He feels that soon he won't have the strength to move his arms. Yet there is a light, a radiance he feels near to him and a feeling of peacefulness. Maybe this is what all those who fell to his sword felt as they died.

Dio frozen for a moment as she sees Hammett his sword slice through Mother Superior. She drops her Logrus Tendrils. She had not expected this to shock her. But the woman who raised her died before her. A mere whisper escapes her. "What have i done, Mother"She looks at the situation, the sister of enforcement repentance still fighting but that won't take long. The handsome broad chested blonde man. She had helped on the mountainside. A big man rendered through, dying as it seems. The lady who did a kamikaze jump wounded and Sir Hammett, who killed Mother Superior. With a confused look she stares at Hammett.

Yet there is a light, a radiance he feels near to him and a feeling of peacefulness. Maybe this is what all those who fell to his sword felt as they died. I keep moving. I keep my ears open to try to find some evidence in the chaos of my companions. Something I can use to keep going. " I don't suppose you could drag one of the others to me." I say to the Bird trying to crawl with what energy I had left.

Hammett rushes forward, ignoring whatever the dying priestess is saying, his only concern is Pinky.
He grabs her and beings applying pressure to her wound, "Damn it, kid, you've got to leave the heroics to me. How am I supposed to ever forgive myself for this? And I know you ain't ever going to let me forget."
Joking aside, he takes a deep breath and begins focusing on trumping Conrad back at the base. Time to get Pinky out of here and get medical help, and maybe bring in some re-enforcements to help mop things up around the battlefield, if his other Nasgul have had a chance to rest up and heal from the battle in Kasaba.
