OOC: Kesh, Korg, and Zimno are currently inside the tent. Amica and Brandis are still outside and need to make Endurance checks. They can get inside the tent with a move action.


The tentacled THING thrashes about in the water tank, now cracked with Zimno's blow. The THING continues to strangle Zimno with one of its alien tentacles.

"What... what am I doing here?" Elohasi says in a shocked tone. She looks around, her eyes widening at the sight of the THING in the tank with her. "What am I doing in here with THAT???"

The slave girl scurries out of the tank, heedless of the danger in angering the creature within. Luckily for Elohasi, the thing in the tank is more concerned with an imminent threat.

Elohasi, once freed, grabs a sackcloth to cover herself.

[sblock= Those Outside the Tent]Brandis and Amica realize that even this large, stout tent is not going to last much longer. The sandstorm continues to intensify. They can barely see 30ft in any direction. Sounds of equipment and possibly people being thrown about.[/sblock]

Kesh grabs at the THING's tentacle with both hands, hoping to free Zimno from its grasp.

Brandis tries to make a dash to get inside the normally-forbidden tent, hoping his minor gift will help prevent him from getting lost. He attempts to strike the Thing with powers he has not called on since being enslaved, but he is out of practice.

Horran, the noble scion, moves aside, letting the slave get inside the tent and away from the sandstorm. The noble is careful to stay out of what he assumes is the creature's reach with its tentacles.

Korg summons spirits of nature to harrow the thing, but its unnatural mind is resistant against them.

The tentacled THING continues to strangle its captured eladrin prey. As it does, several of the slaves inside the tent cringe as their minds burn!

As the tentacle grabs at him, Zimno plunges his frigid blade at it. "I WILL NOT BE BOUND!" Cold infuses the area, threatening to sap the life out of all around, but with a blue flash, it focuses on the THING, cutting a deep swath and sending icy chunks throughout the tank.

Crushed, bloodied, and broken, the white devil continues to struggle, for to stop is death. With a sneer, Zimno cuts space is and is suddenly on the other side of the tent. The eladrin takes a struggling breath to stabilize himself, then lashes out once again with this frigid sword. His weakening arm spoils the swing, but the spell forces the creature's attention.

Amica, seeing the sandstorm increase in intensity, runs inside the tent.

OOC: When hit, use Frost Backlash as an Immediate Interrupt: Crit vs Ref (26), 29 cold damage.

Then, assuming it is still alive (a good bet), use Fey Step to teleport (getting out of grab), preferably to a position to flank. Use Second Wind and then AP to Chilling Blade: Miss (AC 8, 10 with CA). Minor to use Sword of Aegis to mark.

12/31 hp, AC 19, For 15, Ref 16, Will 16, 8/11 HS, bloodied.

Kesh rushes toward the monster and raises his pick high above his head. He brings it down blindly into the monster's nucleus, trying to hold it back from latching more tightly onto Zimno.

"Get away from him, you bitch!"

[sblock=Actions]Move: If necessary, walk closer to the creature.
Standard: Open the Gate of Battle
Should hit with a 21 vs. Reflex
20 damage (plus 2 if the thing was at full HP already)
Free: Flurry of Blows for 5 vs. the creature.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Bonus points for catching my reference.[/sblock]
