Fae Knight Aishatou, The Wave Dancer Phase 2 (Patreon)

Thinking quickly, Neoma recalls the bottled soul once given to the Morphlings by Lena, and she draws it out from her belt pouch. Lena said fae knights sought souls...so perhaps giving one to the knight before them would stave her off, Neoma thought. It takes only a sharp tug for her to act on her plan and release the bottle's cork, and then the soul rockets free, startling Neoma with how rapidly it escapes its prison!

The great fae knight seems to recognize what the quick gray wisp flying towards her is, and without hesitation she lunges forwards, her clawed hand outstretched like the striking fangs of a deadly serpent. However, the soul Neoma unleashed is not some wounded animal that would make for easy prey. It dives between the knight's claws and whirls round and round her arm, skillfully evading every attempt the knight makes to consume it.

In a final swirl of gray fog that encircles the knight's waist, the soul slams into her head. The effect is instant; the once-tranquil water motes floating around the knight suddenly erupt into violent sprays of foam, carving deep chunks out of the galleon's deck where they strike! The knight releases an unearthly wail, clutching at her armored head with both hands as even her hair seems to writhe with pain! 

 A lilting voice echoes on the wind, and suddenly some of the water motes are scattered on tiny gales. "Art thou not accustomed to souls who can resist thee, puppet?"

With Aishatou's wailing still ringing in their ears, the Morphlings look up...and realize the fae knight has not yet been defeated. While the soul's invasion has clearly agitated her, she gathers her blade of water once more, and rises into the air on raging motes of surf. She aims her blade at the Morphlings, and tenses to charge at them.  

Aishatou seems to be fighting three people now - the two Morphlings in front of her, and the soul in her head. This has made her vulnerable, but also forced her to draw out more of her power.  She is far from defeated.

Current status of the Morphlings;

• Level: 44
• Classes : Himbarian and Goth Sea Witch
• Location: Wrecked Ship Deck - Large flat area that is roughly rectangle in shape
• Status: Both Newlyn and Neoma are satisfied but a little worn.

Challenge;

Fae Knight Aishatou, The Wave Dancer.  One of the greater Fae Knights that inhabit the Eventide Channel.  Aishatou is fast and relentless, mixing savage stabs with waves of destructive water and the ability to quickly disengage if things are not in her favor. Like all Fae Knights, her form is infused with Gothic magic, but her water abilities are primal magic attuned.

Choices;

• Neoma takes the lead, using her sword to parry while Newlyn uses his Fuchsia Spear spell. (Physical melee and bimbo lightning damage.)
• Newlyn charges in with his halberd, while Neoma uses her spiral wave ability (Physical melee and gothic ranged damage)
• Both Morphlings move in to flank Aishatou in melee,  trying not to give her time to think! (Double physical melee damage)
• Hit and run with ranged attacks, avoiding melee and letting the spirit do it's work. (Ranged Gothic and Ranged Bimbo damage)
