As soon as the nausea has left him again, Gaderon jumps over the edge of the pit and gently floats down next to Eilkhan where he remains hovering in midair. Helping Sol to free Eilkhan from the spears, the mage then takes the nearly unconscious and moaning woman in his arms and slowly levitates upwards again. "Quick, Ahi", says Gaderon as he gently places Eilkhan on the floor of the corridor, "free her of the pain."
Leaning against the wall next to the pit, Kherim clasps the golden Horus amulet in his hands and murmurs prayers to the Avenger. His eyes are closed and his face is pale and covered in cold sweat. Breathing heavily, the paladin feels that the curse that he and his fellows have unleashed, has left something behind, a seed of evil within himself, which is a terrible and almost unbearable feeling for someone like him.
"Let me see if I can remove it again from you." Asterion, who has quietly approached Kherim, places a firm hand on the shoulder of the paladin. "Gentle Isis, great mother, take away the taint of evil from this brave servant of your son." Firmly grasping his holy symbol, the half-elf then casts a spell and places the silver ankh on Kherim's forehead. (OOC: Casting Remove Curse)
Kherim feels the benevolent energy flow through him from the ankh. It immediately relieves him from the weakness that the curse has left. Feeling his strength returning, he nonetheless notices that - deep inside - there's a small piece of darkness remaining.
