I knew my only hope was to hit hard and fast. With Drain 3 my uber bless was becoming less and less effective with each passing turn. At some point a bless can be completely countered by a couple mages with a couple gems. In hindsight I should have held off on attacking Abyssia and pressed my feeble research towards "Illwinter".
When I do find my self on the downward spiral I find it is a good time to set small goals and pull out the stops. For fun I actually empowered a Bane Lord with Astral. Even with MR 24 he eventually fell to a soul slay communion. His body guard giants fulfilled their purpose of absorbing the Astral barrage so he could get his MR up. Unfortunately he routed instead of attacking when his fodder died.
I was happy to take out the Angel. Wasn't sure if it was the bone fiends or a lucky shot from the bowmen in the back.
