*Anton's shot goes far astray and buries into the sand.*
*Sashal closes her eyes and focuses, and her eyes glow blue.*
"Monster...I see the threads of your fate...your many destinies that end in death," she intones as her hand glows blue as well and lashes out towards the creature, striking it against the shell. For its part, the tortoise seems unnerved and unable to concentrate properly.
*Scun uses Rillian as a human shield to protect himself from the tortoise's snapping jaws, as he is moving into its reach, and he casts a spell to give Rillian temporary relief.*
*The tortoise strikes at Rillian, hurting him badly again, but unable to finish him thanks to Scun and Sashal.*
(OOC: Rillian gains 8 temporary HP and a +1 to hit and saves vs fear
Tortoise takes -2 to attacks, damage, saves, etc
Rillian loses the temporary HP and then takes 6 real damage
Back to Rillian again)
