He even get's a page-break dedicated to him!
Gourd_Clae, if you ser this post, you should probably post an action before Seiromem kills Bazyli... D:

I've always wanted to kill one of you guys, and to do it twice even moreso! This is the best birthday present ever! Anyways, mood music!


-----------------------------------------------------------------Turn 108----------------------------------------------------------------

Wes readies his body and yells "Come get me you dirty bugs!" 5! To the highlander's surprise, this attracts all the nearest crawlers into attacking him! Two leap forth, and Kairy fires at one of them! 1! Her mechanism malfunctions and the bolt breaks! Her crossbow is jammed for 2 turns! Kairy growls with frustrating as she retreats behind a boulder, Renae doing the same. The first crawler leaps at Wes while the second one misses Wes! Wes 4! deflects the crawler with his shield, pushing it to the ground. Shivad attacks the two in front of her and Bazyli! 4! 5! Impaling them with icicle spears!

Meanwhile to the left, Zuko and Razuna try to assault the crawlers around them!
Zuko attempts a reaver slash while Razuna tries to blast them with his will! 3! 3!
Zuko's brings his arms around in a sweeping slash, killing a crawler and injuring the other two's front legs! They get defiled, and start to limb towards you. Razuna has similar luck, the burst of energy knocking a crawler into a pit and rending the ones next to it, weakening them. Stalled, they ready their lunges once more. Fureira throws out her chakrams at the line of Crawlers surging towards her!
3! They slice one to bits, but that's about it. She backs up towards Razuna and Zuko a tiny bit as they charge her! The cralwers on the outer rim surge forth, and more appear in front of the party!

As does Anathema, a rumble from the rubble and it bursts out! Roaring in pain and fear, it's shriek strikes fear into all who are sound of mind! Everybody except Bazyli is fear-stricken! Bazyli wasn't paying attention at all. Not to the sounds to slashing and words of frustration, not to the monsters aiming to tear his carcass apart. Bazyli was resisting the Highlander.
And he failed.
"Hmph, I've no need to risk this vessel, and you're far too stubborn. Time to go."
And with that, Bazyli's soul is crushed. His being reduced to pulp and absorbed by the highlander. The body just falls, the life plucked out of it, and in it's place power assembled. Bazyli's form rises as Shivad looks in awe and fear. That form flies away, Shivad screaming and chasing after him down the cliff.

You heartless monster! You let Bazily die twice now! How high are the chances we can bring him back from the dead a second time?

We're doomed.
I had seen death happen before. But it was just only underworld beasts and other demons. To survive in Hell, there were moments where we had to kill ourselves, so there weren't any kind of emotional attatchments either. I never felt any actual feelings for anyone in my life.

So that's why now, for the first time in my life, death shocked me. And it wasn't just any death. It was the death of a partner. The death of a friend. The death of Bazyli...

I couldn't contain myself. I let out a strong scream and I pierced my sword to the ground. Then it came to me. The pain. The sorrow. The fear. I didn't knew what to do, and only one thought crossed my mind:

We were going to die...
nonononononononoNO

This isn't happening... It happened once before, but, but... he can still... he can come back can't he? He managed it once, he can do it again! He can, he must!

I'm shaking. From fear? From sorrow? No, not sorrow, I-I don't have any reason to be sad, b-because he's coming back. He HAS to...
"Shivad! Bazyli? Shivad, is B-bazyli... wait, wait!" His body, it just flew away, and she ran after it. I have to go after him too! I have to! If one of us can catch him, o-or something, maybe he'll be okay...? Of course, of course he'll be okay! I swear... I can save him! Somehow! I run after Shivad and Bazyli. Though stricken with fear, I can surely still save him! I just have to ignore this sickening feeling...

(Aghhhhhh seiromem why would you do that, I didn't think you were serious about that! He's not permanently dead, he's not... right?)

Bazyli's form rises


The body is what flew away.

Failure. Again. I had promised Bazily to protect him, promised nothing would happen to him. Yet there he went, out of our grasp, and with him the last bit of formation and motivation our group had sustained. And there didn't even seem to be a reason for it. Nothing any of us could have done. Only watch, helplessly.
Of course. It had been bound to happen all along. How did I ever delude myself into thinking otherwise? Even in death, children are nothing but trouble - and the worst thing is, it hurts. A lot. So much I can't see or think properly any more.

Since the first day I can remember, I have fought to stand my ground against the challenges of life. I used dangerous weapons to enforce safety, I killed to stay alive. And now I'm here, unarmed, spiritless, and out of plans. Because what does strategy still mean if every expectation or tactic is crushed by superior foes? And what does efficiency still mean when an arbitrary fate seems to strike whenever we're vulnerable?

...It doesn't matter. There are only two options left: Give up and go down, or keep on fighting with the power of despair. And if that's the best strategy I have - then so be it!

I shout as loud as I can: "Reatreat to safer ground! Now!" Then I will run after Wes and Shivad, trying to catch up to them and stop them, making sure Renae is following me. I will not try to use my crossbow - instead, if any Crawler dares to approach me, I will simply stab it with an Angelous bolt.
Suddenly, I heard Kairy's voice, and I finally reacted.

Bazyli is dead and I can't do anything about it, except staying alive, and to win this battle for him. We cannot lose! Not now...

For now, I proceed to do as Kairy says and retreat to a safer place.

Just to answer the question:

Your body being mangled is one thing, but your soul? That's your entire being, your mind, your personality, your power, it's everything you are.
Bazyli's was crushed into a pulp.

'Tis the fate of all whose vessel(body) wears out as well.

Yeah, I had figured as much. It was intended as a rhetorical question.
Poor Bazily. Rest In Peace - or whatever happens after your soul is destroyed...

Hold it!
Don't kill me just yet!

Here is...my action!

----------------

Why didn't I left? Why didn't I just run?
It was so simple...but now Bazily is...gone...and soon I'll be gone too.
So much for the infinite treasures hidden in the tomb, I'm going to die with 1500 ceil on my pocket.
If I was supoused to die I would have wanted to be for more money than that, figures.

It's not worth it I guess, I-...wait...is that...Kairy's voice?
Yes it is...I...have to move...I'm not dying! Not like this!

I'll follow Kairy's orders.

Kairy yells at the top of her lungs in determination to not lose another member.
"We can't stay here! Let's back up, NOW!"
She then puts her hoists her crossbow and grabs Renae's arm as she rushes down the steep slope. Fureira, Razuna, and Zuko all run towards them at top speeds.
Fureira, noticing they can't outrun the closest crawlers, pumps tons of energy into a massive firewall! It deters most of the crawlers! Wes had already ran after Bazyli's flying form. In fact, Kairy was calling Wes back to the fight.
"Get back here, Wes! We can't catch him yet and don't know if he's even harmed! Let's focus on the enemy at hand!"
Rocks tumble and dust is kicked up us the group rushes down the rocky, steep slope. Anathema's roar is heard and everyone naturally merges into a group as they near the bottom. However Renae is having trouble keeping up, as Kairy let go to call for Wes. Renae trips and falls near the base of the rock formation! Everyone sees the fires of Fureira's firewall dissipate, and soon crawlers burst forth from the top of the formation.

"Oh shit! Renae!"

I knew it was dangerous to go down there with all of the Crawlers, but I wasn't going to let her be killed. I was going to make sure no one else died today...

Go down the formation and get Renae out of there!

Up the formation. The brown is the steep cliff, the green is the grass at the outside base of it.
Fine, UP the formation then!
