Sylvia moved as fast as the wind, too fast for even the centipedes to try and attack as she vanishes from their reach and she races up the stairs and was right next to the skeleton mage. However he simply turned to you, casually flipping his dagger in his hand. From this position you could make out more of his disgusting features; he wasn't just skeletal, but his flesh, or whatever was left of it, had dried out to the point strips of his skin draped out of what remains of his tattered robes. His dagger, though rusted and practically broken, had a perfectly cut red gemstone in it, but smaller than the stones you're looking for. That would be the ones in his head; you could see that the glow from his eyes came from these stones, one crimson stone in his right and a fainter yellow from his left. But either you or him could attack though, his body faded into dust, swept up in the wind. His ashes flew through the air and landed on a distant spot where there was ten feet of empty space between you and him. He almost seemed to laugh as he hurled a firebolt in your direction, however you were easily able to avoid his attack.

All the while Shortfang had had enough of these bats! In a flurry of swords he slashed and stabbed into the bat swarm, stabbing through a whopping six bats with a single stab before cutting down the last three with his scimitar, cleaving their bodies in twain. Seeing the skeleton mage teleport closer, he dropped his scimitar to pick up his hand crossbow before taking a step back to get a running start and leaping forward across the chasm, reaching the next lone ruined island and glaring at the skeleton. As for Pylia, she tossed the centipede off of her back, slamming it against the wall as she crushed it's tiny head with her club. "Disgusting..." She shook her head as she walked away, trying to get a good vantage point to attack the skeleton mage. Finally the last of the centipedes continued to chase after you, though their legs couldn't carry themselves nearly as fast as you.
