Mayas Battle in the Daggerhills

When she finds cover Maya thinks about her current situation: "Ah ... this looks ... really very very very really very really bad. But at least the riders are now close enough. It is time for me to ensure the seat on one of those horses, and they are in my range now." Maya concentrates once again at the spell that could destroy the riders and at same time wipe all injuries from herself, maybe even catch few more undead in range. This could make space for her to ride the Nightmare, since they wont be affected negatively if they are not undead. If she successes in her performance, she would unleash the same magic as before, the epic mass heal.

Hector listens to the Devil's report. "I see, you will take me to see." He then casts a minimize person on himself and waits for the devil to pick him up and fly high above the castle.

Maya start the complicated ritual once again, feeling her life leech away by some unseen Magic and still feeling very drained due to the elfs black ray and the wounds she took so far.

The Skeleton slashes at her again with the blade of his Halberd and manages to hit Maya once again.

One of the Riders reaches Maya and would swing his scythe at Maya hitting her squarely in the chest and slicing open a wicked wound. The Nightmare rears up and attacks Maya with its flaming hooves, battering and burning her in the process

The badly wounded Maya would grit her teeth and gather all her willpower to concentrate on the difficult spell she is casting.
She manages to finish and the lifeforce gathers inside her and bursts out again in brilliant flash of light, washing over those undead near her. Two of the Undead Knights fall from their Nightmares as they are hit by the wave of lifeforce, no longer moving.. The third is hit badly but manages to remain seated and advances on Maya. The Skeleton near Maya is thrown back by the wave and lies unmoving on the ground. One of the Mummies advancing on her would still be reached by the wave and thrown back, no longer moving either.
Maya would feel all her wounds closing but the weakness from the black ray remains. She would also already feel her lifeforce already being leeched away again.

The flying elflike undead would arrive then. Flying over the buildings and hovering there, his silver and White Robes fluttering in the wind, he crooks his finger again and spits foul syllables as he shoots another
black ray at her. Maya would feel even more of her life draining away and would almost drop to the ground so weakened she would feel now.

The other Mummy with shimmering wards would now start to spit foul incantations as he finishes he reaches out with his Hands and twists it. Maya would feel an intense pain as her heart stops for a monent and her body stiffens.. after a second it would continue to beat however, but she would continue to feel the intense pain in her breast. The remaining Mummies shamble past the casting Mummy and continue to advance on Maya.

The Devil would obviously detest performing Service for Hector but would say "as you wish" he picks up the little wizard and takes off flying upwards toward the Castle in the straight line as fast as he can.

Hector would notice another big flash of light in the courtyard.

Maya mounts on her Nightmare Horse, the dominated one, and as she does so she commands it to flee to ethereal with her: "Get us out of here to the plane I just saw you came from. I am your mistress now, and we are leaving this place together."

Hector observes the large flash of positive energy, he would look to the center of the flash, attempting to locate where Maya would be located. Assuming he can observe the undead focused on Maya's general location, Hector would begin chanting a necromantic spell, weaving signs as the devil holds him in the air. He chants, casting a Couldkill spell with the intent on the deathly fog landing over the area, knowing such a spell would have no effect on the undead.

As Hector start to incant his spell.. Arrows from below would fly past him as the Undead Archers open fire on the unknown fyling creature circling over their Castle.

Serveral arrows hit the Devil but wont do much harm and most would bounce harmless of his thick skin.

As Hector finishes his spell billowing yellow vapors rise from the ground surrounding Maya.

Maya climbs onto the Nightmare as the other two Nightmares rear up again and batter her with their flaming hooves. Maya would feel the impact on her back and the intense pain of burns.

The last remaining Knight on one of the Nightmares would slash with his scythe at the totally unprotected Maya and open yet another wicked and very deep wound on her arm.

Then without any warning billowing yellow vapors rise from the ground and Maya would start to cough violantly as the poisonous gas fills her lungs.
All of the Nightmares would react similiar couging violantly and neigh in protest.

As Maya finishes climbing onto her steed, her Nightmare rears up and his and Mayas form would slip into the ethereal plane.

This is first time that Maya rides a Nightmare, but she has experience in riding horses and even Pegasus, it shouldn't be too hard for her to adapt to a slower horse than it. With her Nightmare, Maya vanishes into the earth again while in ethereal plane and continues to move through the earth into unknown direction, that is Nigtmare moves with her as it follows her command, blindly, but her intention is to exit the earth away from the castle and undead army. It was probably a pure luck that she has survived a close combat without her magic wards to protect her. As she rides she drinks heal potion to once again close her wounds, it is the only way to keep herself alive. The movement through the earth would take some time, and if she could not be followed and attacked, she would use all her available rounds beneath with restoration rod to dispel negative effects of the drain and lift up her magics again, because she is sorceress, and they do not lose spells that quickly. She is not giving any specific commands to Nightmare yet, Nightmare is just doing what told, getting them both out of here, She is using the Nightmare as her card out of this place without wasting her turns on movement. But once she is ready to command Nightmare again ... it will be on the safe place, where she can learn from it all what she can from the undead army and its leaders. Nightmare is considered as prisoner of war!

Used Round: Heal Potion
Rounds in the queue while ethereal within the earth:
1. Rod of Restoration
2. Shades Self
3. Shadow Shield (extended)
4. Chasing Perfection
5. Greater Heroism
6. Superior Resistance
7. Mage Armor
8. Ghostly Visage
9. Protection from Evil Alignment
10. Night Shield
11. Shield (Force Mage)
12. Travel long enough and exit earth when away from the reach of undead

In the Queue if everything goes as planed:

Once she exits the earth she would lean back to watch at the castle and the army from great distance in the prime now, holding her hat with one hand so it does not fall off from the winds, with her legs holding firmly for Nightmare to not fall, and as she hangs like that, with her other free hand she shows middle finger to the undead, even if they would not see from this distance, it is something what she has learned from her Arhcnemesis Mark - "The Sharkomancer Lord". "Don't be sad! I will offer you chance for rematch! Suckers!" The crazy heroine then takes the riding in her hands again, disappearing in the clouds with huge smile on her face, as the flying birds reflect in her eyes. "Ahahahah!" She starts to laugh with her, to many annoying, girlish voice, and then makes few poses on the horse in the air to be "decoration of the sky" where she uses her body and poses as the art.

As the arrows fly up at Hector, he would command the devil to fall back to a safe distance. Unable to get close enough to be any real use, he decides to wait at a distance out of the undead's reach.
