[Offensive 1D15]
[Result: 14]
[Just as Spotlight was about to hit, they noticed something. Khann was already guarding! Quickly, Spotlight misses on purpose. They weren’t taking any chances if Khann was preparing something]

[Defensive Parry 1D20]

Hahaha! Impressive, but NOT FOR LONG!

[HP: 3/6]
[Spotlight begins breathing heavily as they stagger from the previous hit. They stand back up and see Khann readying an attack. Quickly they manage to summon a flame]
[As Spotlight summons a flame in their claw, their body—their exoskeleton—begins to shine a bright orange that slowly leads to their nail wielding hand. They were focusing the flame into their nail]

[Spotlight winces in pain]
<Now’s your chance! End it!>
[Spotlight hesitates for a moment before striking Khann]
Khann's shell cracks, and he falls to the ground, kneeling. ...And laughing?
The shell armor he wore sloughed off his body, and he rose back to his legs.
5/5 Health remaining.
What. A. Fool. Now look at you; weak, defenseless...
Khann walks over, looming over Spotlight, who's bent over in pain. His claw rises, ready to deal the finishing blow...
Khann uses 1d15, and rolls a 15!
FLICK THE FIXER?!
I got better!
Flick hops off of the building's edge, landing cleanly on the ground.
It ain't over yet, is it now?
Flick tosses Spotlight a bottle of nectar.
'Ere, drink up. Should patch those wounds o' yer's up better than I could! Gya ha ha!

[Spotlight catches the nectar and immediately drinks it before standing back up]
[HP: 6/6]
Thank you…

Aye, just like the good old days, ain't it?
Khann: SHUT UP!!
@spotlight-the-performer
[Spotlight rushes in as they focus a flame into their nail, their exoskeleton once more shining. But not a bright orange. It shined a dark, fiery red like their eyes currently. Nail deals two damage this turn]

[Result: 12]

Aye, mind if I deal the finishin' blow, or would you like the honors?
@spotlight-the-performer
[Spotlight nods before slowly walking towards Khann, their nail ready to strike]
[Offensive 1D15]
[Result: 15…0]
[They go to strike, but they stop right at Khann’s neck]
…I refuse to kill Khann. Instead…
[Spotlight turns around, the fire in their eyes being replaced by nothing but void]
We are allowing him to repent.
[As they spoke, it sounded as if two were speaking at the same time. And they both spoke with the same conviction]
We believe Khann doesn’t deserve death as long as he repents.
Khann huffs and growls, before lunging at Spotlight, throwing all his mass into one last attack, one that he won't miss!
Khann used Brutalize: 1d21, and rolled a 21!
Flick pushes Spotlight out of the way, and slams his hammer into Khann's mask with all his might!
Flick rolled a 30! Khann took 2 damage, and is now down!
Shadows leak from the crack in his mask.
What in the...?
@spotlight-the-performer
[Spotlight falls to the ground before going to stand up. Then they saw it. V o i d . ]
[Almost immediately they back away before getting closer]
…So this entire time, Khann was controlled by void?
[Spotlight slowly reaches out to Khann’s body before immediately pulling their arm back]
………
The void rises up, coalescing in a ball and molding itself into a new form, swirling dark becomes legs, arms, a torso, and finally a head.
It stares down at Spotlight and Flick with distain.
Our plan... has failed...
very well then. we will shift our focus.
Your Land Will Be Claimed, Sooner Or Later.
IT IS NOT. OVER YET.
we will claim our keep.
Then, it fades back into the ground, melting into a puddle and melding through the solid ground.
This will surely be a problem.
