The thing twists, holding scars yet again, and this time the bruises remain.... For a while. But after a few seconds they once more begin to vanish. The strength of the attack makes sure that the bruises are a bit deeper than last time, making the thing retreat slowly, no longer persisting in the pursuit. Still, Hagadark finds it surprising - and somehow terrifying - that the scars are still turning smaller as time passes. The thing regenerates at an alarming pace, that's for sure. Never had the orc seen such a feat, at least not among the many oozes living around caves throughout Gaelia. Still...Hagadark recalls an old rumor, one that circulated even among the halfling farmers of the valley. So far, he'd considered it too far-fetched to be reliable, but having this odd creature in front of him brought the stories back to his mind. In the old days, it is said, the inhabitants of the southern lands of Gaelia worshiped a place called 'the living cave'. There, it is said, strange spirits of the world took residence, immortal, indestructible. Sacrifices were taken to the cave and, in rare occasions, the spirits would possess the living and walk among the tribes of the south, but in turn would devour their hosts, slowly but surely....This.... thing.... might be the proof that such a place exists. And if it is so, the only way to defeat it - as well as the others that might exist - is to deliver a surprising amount of damage to the ooze, all at once. The auroch circles away from the creature, clearly displeased by its presence. There's something... unnatural about the ooze, even more so with this one. Gods know what made this one so distinct and strong.[Basically, it takes the damage, but regens at a fast rate. The combined amount did scratch it with some degree of permanence, though!] [MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] [MENTION=87106]MetaVoid[/MENTION] [MENTION=6801311]KahlessNestor[/MENTION] [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION]</blockquote>
