Synopsis
Vulraak observes his surroundings, confused as to how he got there, attacking both the Light Bringers in the arena and the onlookers outside. Seian tries to cleanse Jeidobii, still suffering from Feeblemind but the curse is unbroken. Vulraak animates Viktor and Jaren and soon spells are being flung back and forth across the battlefield. Cerise casts regenerate on Seian and implores him to use the Sword of Jocelyn the White. On his turn he says a prayer, drops his shield and attunes to the sword, striking Vulraak. Torq runs up beside him dealing powerful damage with his axe.

The magical bubble containing the arena challenge erodes and the "fair" rules of engagement are out, disintegrate is cast by Viktor against Tormund who manages to stay up to fire back at Vulraak. Denahi takes the opportunity to transform into a T-Rex and attack the animated Jaren and Viktor while Seian and Torq continue to attack at Vulraak at close range. Once the bubble is down Orianna, Romyn and Icca jump into the ring lending their aid where they can. Seeing an opportunity, Denahi unleases her phoenix Nyco sending him to Jeidobii to free him from feeblemind.

The battle becomes a desperate bid for survival as Vulraak unleashes a devastating Shadow Barrage knocking almost everyone down except Denahi as she loses her T-Rex form. The move took out the reanimated Jaren and Viktor as well. Seian and Cerise both awaken thanks to Regenerate and use their healing powers to bring most of the party back to their feet. The party manages to get off a few more hits, before being stunned by a psychic scream. Romyn manages to clear the stun from some, and the party is able to get in a few more hits before yet another Shadow Barrage brings every single one of them close to death. Seian’s regenerate heals him once again and in his cold fury he deals a devastating series of final blows, but is unable to prevent Vulraak from sending the Book of Corruption out of the plane before he falls.

Even as Vulraak falls it is too late for some of the party: Tormund, Icca and Romyn perish before anyone has a chance to heal them. As the rest of the power is revived, Orianna says she has the power to bring back one and looks to Jeidobii to make the choice. He picks Icca, saying he has magic that can help the others later.
