Having forced the Fleet to keep its distance with a cunningly placed whirlpool (Control Water) and suffered a few fireballs for her trouble, the very holy Sheler flew towards the flagship of the Kraken Society, which had just appeared in Farshore harbour. The flagship was surrounded in shadowstuff, remnants of its voyage through the Shadow plane, and looked rather foreboding. Five Yuan-ti stood in the bow, one pureblood with a wand of fireballs, and four halfbloods with massive composite bows.
Sheler flew on Celestial wings towards the ship, eating another fireball, and hit the Yuan-ti wizard with a Miasma. Choking on acrid, green fumes, V'Sesslin telepathically called in a favour from the Mind Flayer patrolling under the ships. The illithid arrived invisibly and dispelled the miasma, before attempting a Mind Blast on Sheler. Spotting the now visible illithid hovering before her, Sheler charged! She clawed him twice before he hovered out of reach and hit her with a Disintegrate. A critical!
(She saved, but was almost unconscious.)
Thanking Shaundakul profusely for the near-miss that had left missing only a chunk of her thigh, Sheler prepared to beat a strategic retreat. Unfortunately for her, one of the half-bloods managed to land an arrow in her back and blackness overcame her. Unconscious and spiralling towards the waves on limp wings, she was an easy target for V'Sesslin's vengeful lightning bolt. Her charred little corpse slammed into the surface of Farshore bay where it floated, smouldering.
