[QUOTE="Sic_Pixie, post: 5972525, member: 52403"] [b]Now Grembor fails a save ...[/b] Grembor gets a surprise as the Chaos Beast surges across the sinkhole and strikes out with one of its tentacles catching him low on his thigh; as happened to Zordlan and Sayuri he soon becomes a puddle of skin with an artfully placed sword and bow lying atop of it.
