The Wraith after it finished eating, went back to looking for more food. while the tall things were very good they were both a bit rarer and a bit more difficult to kill, even with hiding and sneak attacks. The Wraith loved hunting, especially delicious food. it liked feeling the food settle in her stomach and just keep her full till she finished eating but that was perfectly normal as most Wraiths are gluttons to the extreme, in all aspects of life. be it food, sex, money, or just living. Wraiths loved all of life, especially when they got to kill it.
"Come on Ilom, maybe we will find a couple of chests." The voice made the Wraith freeze in place before moving to a corner to hide leaving its head out so it could see what was coming. "Come on now lass, my legs aren't anywhere near the length needed to keep up with you. Add my age and you will out walk me every time." The Wraith managed to turn its head around to corner and saw 2 beings coming down the hall. One of them about six feet tall with a pale face, purple eyes, and waist length raven black hair. She was walking with a long wooden staff and she is wearing cotton robes which could barely hold back the pair of breasts that swayed with her every movement. The second person is about 4 feet tall with a beard that covered his face, enough to slightly muffle his voice. He carried a greatsword sized scimitar on his back and was wearing heavy armor.
They were both walking and talking as if there was nothing at all wrong with where they were. The Wraith naturally knew that if it were to fight them it would not be an easy fight, especially in an upfront confrontation of them where they were both VERY ready to kill it, so naturally, it had to rely on its abilities to sneak and attack from behind. So it's little hunt began as it slowly but surely followed the two as they talked about random little things in life completely unaware of their stalker and hunter. Soon they both stopped to rest as they had been walking for what was presumably hours before the Wraith had found them.

"Did you hear that Luca decided to come down here and try to become an adventurer as well?" the woman asked, with a wry smile on her face. "really? that little lass? the last time I saw her she was shorter than I was!" the dwarf said with a hearty laugh "don't worry about her she will soon understand exactly what adventurers have to deal with, then she will come home crying about what happened during her little trial run" he soon said after with a little twinkle in his eye and a caring smile on his face.
the woman looked at Ilom with a scowl as she said "Oh yeah? well, what happens if she encounters something that she can't handle? you know as well as I that although anyone can easily kill these rats and bats, if they become a horde then they can kill quite a number of people" The dwarf with the name of Ilom says back "Then she will run, she knows herself well and if she sees a fight she can't beat then she will run." he said with a wave of hands as if it was extremely simple. The woman stared back at him with a hard gaze and finally just sighed and said "I'm tired right now, do you mind taking a watch while I take a quick nap?" while walking back to her tent obviously with no intention of letting him answer or refuse.
Ilom just stared at the tent she went into and with a low chuckle started to build a small fire and keep watch. About 4-5 hours later Ilom himself was beginning to nod off, he was able to tell because he kept hallucinating different animals. Like putting a dog and elephant together, or a cat and a monkey, but the worst was this one that popped up every now and again. It looked like a real nightmare and it was always getting somewhat closer each time it saw it. it looked both like and unlike a human except, as its head was smaller than a humans head in height but was longer and faceless except for the mouth which covered most of its face in height. Said mouth was made of three parts, a top and a bottom which was split in two giving it a triangular look to it while its teeth were completely unaligned and while none crossed over others it was still messy. But although it was messy each one was undeniably sharp enough to pierce through plate metal, thighs but instead of calves its 3 tentacles, and an extra pair of arms above its original ones with scythe-like appendages on the end of them. It had 4 fingers that were home to long claws that look like they were made to slice and dice the flesh. On its back were fleshy spines that simply bobbed along with its movements. til one point it was close enough to touch, feeling like seeing how far this hallucination goes he tried to touch it and to his utter shock, instead of passing through it touched the white skin it had. it felt both smooth like silk while also feeling calloused like a lumberjacks hand at the same time. then Ilom froze as his eyes began to widen he had just enough time to realize that it wasn't a hallucination but rather a monster before he was stabbed in the neck by a scythe.

Ilom was too surprised to do much but cough mouthful after mouthful of blood. Ilom looked at the nightmare which had brought him to this state with a gaze full of shock, confusion, anger, and fear.

The Wraith not really understanding what was going on (as this had never happened before) kept trying to figure out what it was supposed to do before it remembered, There was another person here, and the falling body was pretty damn loud with all that heavy armor on.
Immediately the Wraith looked around it and turned just in time as to see Doxen start to move out of her tent to see what the commotion was. She returned just in time to look up and see the Wraith staring straight at her, its mouth unhinged, its scythes before it looking devilish before finally her gaze landed on the body on the ground. She froze and slowly her eyes widened.
Unfortunately for her those few seconds that she had frozen, the Wraith flew over with its scythes pulled back ready to be shot out at her head. Doxen noticed, albeit a bit late and dodged the attack, however, she was hit on the shoulder, not enough to cut through bone but enough to cut through most muscle and veins in her shoulder (which if you didn't know are A LOT).
Critical Damage done to target. HP- 84
"AIEEEEE!" She screamed out in pain as her muscles were torn and shredded like cheese on a grinder. Blood began immediately spilling out of her shoulder as she fell to the ground clutching it. She watched is abject horror as her attacker slowly floated on over to her with a smile that would give madmen a run for their money. She immediately tried backing up away from the monster which could murder her with not but a swing of its hand.
Slowly but surely the monster made its way to the woman who in comparison was much smaller as while she stood at six feet tall the Wraith stood at 8. Once the Wraith was next to her she grabbed her throat and lifted her up before her before widening her mouth and beginning to swallow her alive. "NOO!, PLEASE I BEG YOU." Doxen immediately began to struggle against her captor with maximum effort. while begging for mercy, Unfortunately, the monster only continued swallowing her with a fierce fire in its almost nonexistent eyes, as if angry with her for simply trying to beg, as if it was disgusted with her behavior. As she is a mage she isn't exactly strong in the physical sense and she only helped in quickening her pace towards the Wraith’s stomach acids.
The Wraith watched in almost orgasmic pleasure as the prey she had been stalking was now struggling to get out of her stomach, her little punches were getting weaker and weaker over time to the point where it now tickled to be punched by the woman. while heading back to a wall the Wraith looked around it and saw no one near, so it took its claw and slowly pushed into a small part of the wall. Surprisingly the wall gave way and a foot to the left opened up. It was a hidden passageway. The wraith thought nothing of it and went through the door, and closed it behind her. Forever removing the team of Ilom and Doxen from the world.
