[QUOTE="talien, post: 4367537, member: 3285"] [b]Cold Visitor: Part 6b – Going After Suven[/b] Suven’s tentacles had burrowed beneath the snow, only to spiral up around Ilmarė’s leg. It seemed completely disconnected from Suven itself, but then Vlad caught sight of a trail of yellow strands hanging limply from Suven’s torso. They began to pulse. “No!” shouted Vlad. He dropped his shield and grabbed Grungronazharr with both hands. With a mighty roar, he hacked downwards into the snow. He was rewarded with a gout of yellow ichor as the tentacles were severed. Dril and Beldin finished hacking the other soldier. “Beldin!” shouted Vlad. “Let’s finish this thing off. Dril, get those tentacles off of Ilmarė!” Vlad turned as more tendrils sprang up. With a mighty swing, he batted aside some of them as he closed on Suven, determined to make it pay. Beldin stood beside him, stomping forward with each strike of his axe. Dril skidded over to Ilmarė. The tentacles continued to write from her face, even severed from the creature. For a moment, he froze. “Oh man.” Then sliced across her mouth with his knife. Ilmarė’s mouth opened wide, and she gasped for air. Dril continued to slice, making short, precise cuts. The beautiful elorii’s skin was mottled and purplish from lacerations, but she was alive. He leaned down to brush back Ilmarė’s hair from her face. “Are you all right?” Ilmarė’s eyelids fluttered. Then she began to twitch. “Uh, guys…” said Dril. Vlad and Beldin were chopping up the former Suven, leaving nothing but a yellow stain in the snow. Ilmarė’s body arched in pain. “She’s going into convulsions!” shouted Dril. Ilmarė’s limbs flailed. The dwarf stumped back over to Ilmarė. “Put something in her teeth!” “What?” asked Dril. “I said put something in her teeth! A belt, anything! She’ll swallow her tongue if you don’t!” Dril pulled one of the potion lanyards he wore across chest and tied it around Ilmarė’s mouth, effectively gagging her. Vlad walked over, concerned and feeling helpless. Finally, the elorii’s convulsions subsided. Beldin pulled out a potion from his belt pouch. “I was saving this for me, but she needs it more.” He nodded at Dril, who removed the lanyard from her mouth. He poured the contents down Ilmarė’s throat. “Will she be all right?” asked Vlad. “She’ll live,” said Beldin. “But I don’t think any of us will be all right after what we just saw.” “I don’t mean to make things worse,” said Dril. “But where’s Orgun’s body?” [/QUOTE]
