Prepared!] and tell Dalris to open the secret door. The three of us slip into the sanctuary behind the chair. No one can see us until we "stand erect" to confront Arno.Arno and Pazuzu don't notice us until a paladin in the front row shouts out, "There they are!" The crowd quiets instantly, anticipating a word from Arno. He does not disappoint.Our "swarthy rival" whirls around and smiles."Ah, Carr. I rather thought it might be you. In fact, I'd imagined you'd appear sooner than this. And the daughter of Perth. Look, Pazuzu! The Archdruid of Kandia has sent his daughter for us to play with until we have the pleasure of his own company."Pazuzu points his finger at Dalris.In the candlelit sanctuary, the beam of violet light which streak from his fingertip is breathtakingly beautiful. It envelops the bard's lithe figure, surrounding her like a radiant cocoon. The defiant scowl on Dalris's face melts, softening to a contented, lazy smile. You writhe in embarrassment as you watch -- it's as if she were being bathed in warmth and a thousand sensual pleasures.The bard's hand relaxes. She lowers her sword and begins to walk languidly, even seductively, toward the monster called Pazuzu.Garn, being a man of action, leaps forward to grab Dalris by the shoulder. She shakes him off and reaches towards Pazuzu. "The look of rapture on her face magnifies her wild Kandian beauty, framed in the violet aura of the spell.""Do something, Carr!" yells Garn."Yes, Delling, please 'do something'," Arno sneers.These words tear us away from our "helpless fascination", and we notice Arno passing a hand across his dark forehead and mumbling a word we don't understand.(18) if we prepared an offensive spell or Fly;(29) if we prepared Armor or Protection from Evil.</blockquote>
