With Saragoth distracting the cultist with a fireball (3+1=4), Ochita performs a furious assault and strikes the cultist square in his heart (5). The cultist's dodge only impales him further on the blade (1), and he slumps over, dead.
~ In the canyon ~
Stan'la's fife song is potent (4+1=5). He is entered into a battle of wills with the mighty beast, where even his fife is of no use to him: to break the dragon, he must dominate its mind with his own. He throws out a forceful command to it (3), and the dragon is temporarily subdued (2). However, his control is still too tenuous to force it to kill the younglings.
As a result, the two young dragons attack Stan'la. The wounded one attempts to bite him, but only manages to stumble about stupidly (1). The other surprises Stan'la with the ferocity of its assault (5), and he is unable to dodge despite his best efforts (4). He is able, however, to minimize the damage from the blow and only his robes are ripped (4).
~ In the village ~
While Roth stares around, unsure of what to do, Lyndis manages to calm the elves down (4). They lower their weapons and a few of them even smile.
~ In the void ~
Struck by an instant stupor, Xyloth loses his hold on the void energy and is unable to gain any further mastery.
