As he says another incantation, meteors rain from the sky, destroying scores of undead monsters. The others pause for a moment, giving Encard enough time to mumble off another spell, the words Vita Mortis Caraero slaying yet more. The creature's ranks have grown much thinner by now, but they finally figured out that it was not wise for them to sit back and let Encard blast them to little pieces with his powerful magic. A group of skeleton warriors, five vampires, and a crypt king rush at him as fast as they can, while a lich chants its spells in thw background. By this time bleading from several cuts inflicted by undead that got too close to him, Encard does not relish the idea of melee with a horde of the more powerful creatures, so just before they reach him, he enacts a levitation spell and rises above their reach. From here, he sees the lich fall, probably from one of his comapnion's efforts. However, he immediately devotes his attention to the problem of the undead beneath him, who are doing their best to find a way to get at him. He dodges a throwing knife that was launched at him by one of the vampires, and snuffs its life force with a Finger of Death spell. Then, he remembers something else he has in his arsenal. With a few words and gestures, he creates a cloud of roiling flame on top of the undead, and then creates a second. If they still could, their eyes would have widened in horror as the flames burned them to ashes, although some of the vampires were able to escape the cloud by becoming gaseous froms. However, as they reappeared outside, it seemed that the Incindiary Cloud had permiated the vampires' alternate forms, and thus the monsters burned up when they changed back. Encard proppled himself away from the Cloud, raining death and destruction on the head (or other body parts) of the enemy as he passed above them. However, as the levitation spell drew to a close, a massive 2-handed sword slammed into his arm, cutting down to the bone. Encard cried out in pain and turned to face his foe, to see that it was a seven foot tall skeleton warrior in full plate armor. As he struggled to draw his sword, a sword thrust struck him in the side, sending him to his knees. Forunately, the skeleton warrior had already started his strike, so it passed over Encard, but the crypt king who had delivered the second blow struck again, this time catching Encard in the shoulder, fortunately that of the arm which was already useless. As the two undead were striking him Encard was able to grab his Enhanced Wand of Flame from his belt, and dropped a massive fireball on top of himself. The two undead were burrned to ashes, but Encard, who had several rings making him impervious to fire, was unharmed, other than the wounds he had sustained. He grapped a Really Good Healing Potion from another belt slot and drank it, causing the three wounds to mostly heal. However as he looked up, he saw another group of vampires moving toards him. Farther down, he thought he caught a glimpse of Melusine and Fortuna, but in another moment he had more pressing things to worry about...
