==================================================
Dweck positions himself near Nica and swings his shield against a Hollow stumbling forward towards her. He gradually regains his normal appearance as he swings, appearing normal at its completion. However, his bash misses its mark, so he follows up with a deadly swing of his hammer directly at the head of the Hollow. The hammer strikes the Hollow's head and the head explodes into a cloud of ashes. The Hollow's body falls down into a bony lump on the ground.

==================================================
Hollowed Watcher Emerges.
==================================================
Mid-fight, you hear the rumbling of rocks behind you. You turn around and gaze in horror as you realize the cause of the noise.
Spoiler:
A vile, hollow thing emerges from the rubble. It takes to form of as a head with a single eye, reminiscent of the watchers you've fought, but... something is very different. Strange growths cover its dry, fleshy body, and a terrifying maw seems to have... developed from the creature's body. It has no throat or stomach, so you can only surmise that the new toothed orifice is meant to serve as a weapon of some kind. It has no tendrils like a living watcher might. As you gaze at it, your eyes meet with its.
Inside its eye socket, rages red raw, electric energy. This strange thing lights the sky around it with its glow.
This Hollow Watcher is now behind you on the rubble, and it has vantage over your rearguard. It seems to be focusing it efforts on casting some kind of spell...

The Hollow Watcher appears to have cast a Mage Armor spell on itself, but something is different about the way this armor manifests - it's spiked and jagged, pure black, and swallows the light around it. Utterly terrifying, it adds even more weight to this creature's unnerving presence.
