Valahad hears the hound bay again and sends distracting thoughts to his allies, aiding their minds against the howl.
Valahad moves through the trees to where the enemies went to attack River. Seeing the kalashtar, fighting against them, the paladin's mouth drops open. His strike at the hound is distracted because of his friends appearance, with the blessing of Il-Yannah his aim would be true. Calling out into the minds of the enemies, he dares them to strike at him.
"You made a deadly mistake foul demon. You WILL not take the form of my Lan. Strike NOW Pok." Sheeva shouts, her eyes flashing red although nobody can see it in the darkness.
If the winds a moment ago looked strong, they are nothing compared to the winds Sheeva unleashes now. A crack of Thunder slams into the foes, deafening them and tumbling them towards Sheeva. Miraculously, River stands in the middle of the tempest unharmed. An instant later, fire erupts amongst the foes ranks as the wind picks up dirt and debris and deposits it on top of them.
Her darkness fades, but Sheeva is nowhere to be seen.
After Sheeva's rage filled tempest of wind and thunder, her elemental force of sound is echoed from one of the tents to her east. Inside of the tent, Kortauhk wears his armor, resplendent and clean after its trip into its pocket dimension. Picking up his sword and cloak, he continues to don his equipment as quickly as he can so that he can help out his rescuers!
"Kortauhk coming! Kortauhk coming!"
Pok aims his wand and quietly bends the tentacled horrors reality, convincing the beast two of his tentacles were Sheeva and Feall.
Feall's voice rings from the darkness.
"Sorry, Sheeva - my partner's . . . indisposed. He won't be joining us."
He moves quickly toward the main conflict, shaping shadow to his will and lashing out at the remaining tentacled foe as soon as he's in range but again his target slips the psychic noose.
River moves away from the Biggum. He feels his instinct of savagery coming up but keep them at bay. He instead start to pray
"Arawai, keep me away from my final rest.". The goddess answers his prayers, healing his wounds and warding him a moment from possible harm.
The big guy tries to grab River, but the shifter ducks under its hand. The light from Valahad burns the foe.
The tentacle creature stands and charges at Valahad, but its fist rings loudly on the paladin's armor.
The dog whimpers as the thunder of Sheeva's storm slams into it. The dog disappears though and reappears behind Valahad, surprising the kalashter. It bites his ankle and the bite is surprisingly painful as the paladin feels a coldness emanate from the wound.
Lan concentrates for a moment and then in a wave of energy disappears from view.

Lan moves past River and into the forest beyond.

Lan's in F14[/sblock][/sblock]
Another pair of hounds appears to either side of the tent that the goliath entered. They begin biting through the canvas.
