Killing Val'Ixtal Vai

For the past six or so months, I have been researching the True Warlock ritual. The book. Many of you have helped in the effort, too many to name, and with combined effort we finally cracked it.

We have found a way to kill Val'Ixtal Vai. Or at least, destroy the symbiote as it is.

Troy was burned, months ago, because it held an artifact capable of killing Val'Ixtal Vai, and they knew it. They slaughtered everyone in their way and burned it down, but we were able to get to it first, if only barely.

The Phial of St. Venidene.

It seems merely an empty glass container, but we believe when used properly by one attuned to it, it can completely drain the essence of a creature. In this case: Vai.

The stage is set. Reyna has already spoken of Lightwells, and I urge you to look to her posting for more information on that. We will need as many as possible, these lightwells are like a poison to Val'Ixtal Vai and its shadowy entourage. They attempt to avoid it, and any attack dealing with light, so our research points to.

I do not know how the battle will turn out, but I do have a plan. When the time comes, and the symbiote splits from the host, and they together with Balliol take the field we have to attempt to subdue VIV and his minions within a field of lightwells. We cannot allow them to escape. We have to kill them there, within the cage, dome, or whatever we are able to construct. And when Val'Ixtal Vai is weakened, poisoned by the light, someone attuned to the Phial must use it to drain its essence removing it, and hopefully its minions, from Arawyn.

The attuned are those of us who made the vow at Troy the day we retrieved it.

I do not remember them all, so please list them below if you do and I'll update this.

Attuned:
[strike]Seth[/strike]
Ninnyhammer
Owen Piper
Artalon
Kansas
Dirge

When the time comes, and Val'Ixtal is weak, one of you must use it.

My name is crossed out, because I will not be there. I will be drawing the host away from the symbiote. I cannot allow them to reform should one of them grow weak. I will not allow them to recuperate or regenerate.

Those of you who will be going after the True Warlock and not Balliol, decide who among you is going to protect the attuned.

And of you attuned, decide which of you will do it when the time comes.

Seth,

I promised you that I would be next to you when we got to this point. Do you believe that the time has finally come? Are we at that point?

Seth, you know where I will be. Finish this.

I am one of the oath sworn, and assuming I survive the Maw, will most likely be doing damage control, keeping everyone's minds their own. If none of the others happen to be around, I'll do what needs to be done.

I also have other objectives in the final fight, that will hopefully make the fight easier over all.

-Ser Robert Morgan

I am attuned. Thank you Seth for telling me where I am needed. Let's finish this.

Aiki, I will be at Enzarond's throat. If you deem helping me more important than dealing with the Duke, or destroying the Symbiote, then feel free. I'm ending this.

Dirge and Kanas, I have added your names to the list. Do what you believe will best turn the tide of this battle.
