## Summary

Charrath Merick tries to blaime the party again for the death of Carol Flemith but Vell Ambrose says that Femith might not be dead yet. The guards continue to point spears at Merrick who accuses them of wearing his armour. This confuses the guards until Merrick suddenly pulls out a runic symbol. The armor of the guards begins twisting and they fall to the ground trapped in their own animated armour. Merick throws down a flask and summons an Omnimental. Korim smiles at the situation and begins singing with Claus backing him up on the drums. As Korim sings, the guard's halberds rise up under his command.

Kun puts up an 'obscurity guard' while Korim stabs several halberds in the Omnimental. It tries attacking back but it's attack goes wild and misses everyone. Whisper slips back into the shadows while enveloping Merrick with a Wind Shroud that continuously buffets him from random directions. Claus begins healing Laurana Clearsil and she wakes up. He lets her know of the situation and gives her his bow to use for the moment. Merick throws down a smokebomb to cover his escape and tosses a liquid nitrogen flashbang that blasts Laurana and Claus. Kun quickly takes the hit and Vell stabs Merick while her knight fights the elemental. Kun begins healing himself as Korim protects Claus with the shields dropped by the guards. The Omnimental slams the knight's head into the ground making it vanish. Whisper reveals Merick after using a blast of wind to determine where he is. Claus restores his sight, ears and fatigue as Merick throws down salt. Vell resists but then has a vision of figures in flames.

Merick tries fleeing and Laurana tries firing at him. She just misses but Korim sees him trying to escape and puts up an energy wall. Thanks to Whisper's wind, he doesn't make it past the wall in time. Claus begins healing Kun and gifts everyone with a buff. Merick tries breaking through the wall with the same magic-dispelling salt he threw at Vell but is unsuccessful. He tries running again as Vell reanimates several mutants to dogpile on the Omnimental. Laurana shares the guards' fear and fires an arrow at Vell, slightly disrupting Vell. Merick sees the opportunity and deactivates the animated armor on the guards. The guards turn their spears on the party as Vell embraces the attack saying that Merick killed her once already. The guards begin attacking Kun but he begins dodging and parrying their attacks. Korim tries to make a case for Vell going as far as she is. Laurana hesitates but the guards are blinded by fear as Korim pins down Merick with another energy wall. While Korim dodges the guards, the Omnimental fires a magma laser at Korim. Korim reflects it but it doesn't do much. Whisper steals Merick's satchel as Claus casts peacebound and gets all of the guards. Seeing that he's outmatch, Merick surrenders and the Omnimental fades. Vell makes her zombies fall as a gesture of good faith.
