She begins chanting in the same language that the cannibals used, but the adventurers nearby understand nothing save that it is clearly some vile curse. Takahaan can feel his rage rising within him, though he stays focused on its rightful object, but Hú Lí suddenly bares her pointy teeth and rushes her friend while blowing a painfully loud blast on her flute. Fortunately, Takahaan is not affected.The ghoul-woman’s chanting suddenly becomes quieter, sinking to a whisper. Hú Lí hears the whisper in her mind. She wonders why she couldn’t understand this language before--it seems so plain, now. The whispers tell of power through transformation, then restful stasis and immortality. It is impossibly appealing. Nothing seems too high a price to pay.[sblock=actions and rolls]Kovack attacks Castile. <a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=KN3WXU9X" target="_blank">Ghoul 2 ghoulish bite vs AC (-2 marked), Castile (+4 defense); damage</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=KN3WXU9X" target="_blank">19(1d20) +10 -2 = 27; 15(4d6) +6 = 21</a> hits her even with all her bonuses, but can be stopped with shield edge block.<a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=B7GHGUNY" target="_blank">Castile shield edge block vs Fort, Ghoul 2; damage</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=B7GHGUNY" target="_blank">5(1d20) +8 = 13; 9(2d6) +4 = 13</a> misses.Nylithati uses a move to get up.
