Flower vs Priestess

Syd saw the inquisitor whisper something to the priestesse's ear and the in response she cried out a prayer, and searing light immediately surrounded him, distracted by the sudden pain he almost didn't notice Clove in time as she charged at him while enchanting her warhammer with holy energy. Of course he had already turned the ground around him hollow, meaning that by charging him she was essentially running into a pit fall so Syd didn't particularly need to worry she would reach him. Even so his instinct told him that as she was now she was dangerous, so decided to halt her advance using a barrage of offensive spells, always mindful of the damage he could cause he opted to use multiple [**** missiles], [Ghoul ray] and even [Web] once she got too close but despite his efforts he wasn't able to stop her even worse he seemed to have lost track of her companion, just as he realised this he felt the ground around him crumbling and turning his attention at the source he saw Lif Jumping towards him while hurling an ice enchanted dagger at him without time to react he felt acute pain shoot though his body causing him to reflexively release a cloud of an aphrodisiac sleeping gas. To his surprise even though the inquisitor had managed to cover her mouth and nose almost immediately she barely managed to retreat two unsteady step before collapsing and starting to tumble down the pit, Knowing first hand how deadly even small fall could be Syd extended his roots to catch her break her fall, however as he was busy doing that an other wave of pain assaulted him. It was Clove who had reached with a leap attack thanks to Lif exposing his pit trap, worryingly he seemed completely unaffected by the cloud that had effortlessly knocked out her companion as she continued to bring down her hammer again and again. Syd while still careful not drop the inquisitor focused all his attention to the priestess trying and failing to launch a counterattack as Clove was easily able to parry or defend against his amateur non-lethal attacks, it was only thanks to his superior stats that was able to still do some damage yet as they continued to trade blows it was clear Cloves battle experience and furry would trymph over his numbers, perhaps if he had taken this battle more seriously from the start, not arrogantly thinking he had the luxury to worry about the safety of his opponents, he might had a chance, but at this point it was too late, even if he changed tactics now he wouldn't be able to win, all he could do was ensure she would fall with him but that didn't matter to him, he also couldn't run or negotiate anymore.

He was going to die.

He was going to die again without having accomplished anything.

Syd felt panic grip him and only a single though remained, repeating in his mind over and over.

I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wanna die! I don't wann-
