Power waxes within the gargantuan portal, its dark core fluctuating with gold and silver, blue and yellow. As the colours swirl into a single, humanoid figure, they become whole and step forth from the portal: a fleshcrafted monstrosity of the Dark Emperor.

"Glory to the Light," snarls the monstrous form of the Dark Emperor, his fiery eyes waxing with power. Raising a clawed hand, he summons a twisted skein of Astral power and whips it out towards Astrasia. She stumbles and bats at the empty air in front of her face.

A twisted smile curves across the Dark Emperor half-melted lips, the feral expression causing his flaming eyes to wax with power. "Just as the Lord promised," he sneers triumphantly.

With a great sweep of his hands, the Dark Emperor conjures a great wall of fetid water that sweeps to cascade over all around him, sending you stumbling and spluttering for breath.

Sickly yellow light suffuses the Dark Emperor as he whirls around to face Astrasia, a vicious smile turning his desiccated lips. "Kneel before your Emperor," he sneers, the psychic pressure of his command too much for Astrasia to withstand.

The Dark Emperor has been slain by Kendra.
As the form of the Dark Emperor becomes battered and broken beyond repair, it bursts in a conflagration of flame. The tendrils cascade down to the ground and wax viciously, rising into two monstrosities of the Enigmatic Teacher.

"Attend!" commands the Enigmatic Teacher, reaching out to strike you sharply across the knuckles.
Stabbing pain shoots up your arm in response.


The Enigmatic Teacher casts a contemptuous gaze on Maligorn. "Fool..." the Enigmatic Teacher mutters, and beneath his gaze Maligorn shrinks away.
The Enigmatic Teacher casts a contemptuous gaze on you. "Fool..." he mutters, and beneath his gaze you feel your mind clouding.
Hmmmm. Why must everything be so difficult to figure out?


The Enigmatic Teacher stretches out his model of the planarverse to Maligorn. "Come, apprentice. Learn or perish." he intones coldly, as Maligorn's eyes glaze over in confusion.

The Enigmatic Teacher has been slain by Tekora.
The form of the Enigmatic Teacher shivers and shakes, slowly collapsing in upon itself beneath the assault. The fabric of its being roils and bubbles, then with a great tearing sound it sunders only to rise anew in two monstrous Ordained Magicians.


Smooshing his tendril-fingers into Avurekhos's face, the Ordained Magician laughs maniacally as they begin to drain him and burn him.

The Ordained Magician stares at Avurekhos with pulsating triple eyes full of psionic energy.

Lifting his arms and pushing them outwards, the Ordained Magician sends a powerful blast of magical energy that knocks you over.

The Ordained Magician has been slain by Tambador.
As the flesh of the Ordained Magician is destroyed, rays of crackling energy and scalding power flare out from within him as blazing waves, leaving in their wake two fleshcrafted monstrosities of the Megalomaniacal Lust.

Crek is subjected to a barrage of logic and reason from the Megalomaniacal Lust, his face frozen in a rictus grin.

The Megalomaniacal Lust calls forth a swirling nimbus of cosmic power and hurls it at Crek, who is engulfed in lurid purple fire.

The Megalomaniacal Lust has been slain by Ejderha.
As the Megalomaniacal Lust falls apart, spurts of ectoplasm spray from him, coalescing and forming into two fleshcrafted monstrosities of the Hermit.

The shadows that cling to the Imprisoned Hermit's form swell, reaching out in skittering tendrils to wrap around Remmiel.

Slinking out of the shadows, the Imprisoned Hermit whips his arms around in a wide sweep, sending the iron chains trailing from them crashing violently into you amidst the painful cracking of bone.

The Imprisoned Hermit places his fingers on his shifting temples and closes his eyes in a tumble of loose flesh. When he opens them again, a wild golden light springs forth from his dilated pupils, and Crek stumbles, clutching his head.

Twisting his hideous face into an unsettling smile, the Imprisoned Hermit chants in four different languages and gestures towards Remmiel, raking his fingers in the air. Remmiel gasps in pain, grabbing at his flesh as it begins to warp and change.

The Imprisoned Hermit has been slain by Daedroth.
As the Imprisoned Hermit tumbles into a pile of chains and shadow, those broken pieces rise up and transform into two fleshcrafted monstrosities of the Conquered World.

Folds of flesh suddenly part within the creases of the Conquered World, revealing a gargantuan, unseeing eye that snares Eliron's attention, and he suddenly pales.

Rolling haphazardly as piles of distended flesh constantly fold over and consume one another, the Conquered World suddenly falls upon Shango.

As piles of flesh fold over and consume one another, the misshapen form of an ever-changing fleshcrafted monstrosity of the [?] World shifts once more.
