[/sblock][ooc]Korg and Zimno are currently inside the tent.  Horran and Kesh are at the entrance (but still outside).[/ooc][ooc]Amica and Brandis added to the initiative count.[/ooc]Elohasi swims with the giant, tentacled thing.  It undulates in place, appearing to 'swim' in place.  The slave girl stops and steadies herself against the creature.  "Oh, my love.  My one true love.  I am now one with you.  Please accept my love, dear one."  Elohasi continues to swim around in the greenish muck.The creature, whose multiple sets of eyes are now apparent, opens its huge, toothy maw and grunts.  Those inside the tent immediately detect the scent of fermented death.[sblock=Korg and Zimno]You each feel sick inside as alien thoughts pour into your heads."Come to me, my servants.  Become one with the intelligence.  It is your destiny."[/sblock]The elf pulls his pick from the guard's side with a squick, then adds an extra kick out of spite.Kesh moves as quickly as possible into the tent, stepping coolly over the body of the bloody guard. taking his place next to Zimno."What is this creature? Is she...mating with that thing?"He raises his pick, but hesitates, awaiting Zimno's or Korg's go-ahead.Amica and Brandis brave the sandstorm and cross the open space between the House Njeer tent and the large one at the center of the Rarun camp.Outside the tent, Horran, the young noble, cowers against the tent canvas, barely able to peer inside.  "What is that... in there... with Elohasi?  And where is Erro Njeer?  Surely, he would not let his most treasured servant cavort with that... THING... in there!"Alien eyes dart at Zimno and Korg, one set each trained on the interlopers.  The amorphous blob within the tank shakes its tentacles, trashing Elohasi around a bit.  The creature speaks in a tongue forgotten to the sane people of Athas.  It is a deep, guttural tone, rattling the slaves' bones.  Suffice to say that none understands the creature, and they are probably better for it.Elohasi steadies herself.  "Oh, my love.  They are not here to harm you.  They will love you, as I have come to.  Please, my love.  Give them peace.""You are wrong, I'm not your servant! Zimno, kill it!" Korg says as the spirits animate a small whirlwind next to the thing..."I am a slave to no creature!" The hiss is sharp, and as he speaks, Zimno forms a low stance. With two fingers along the blade, he pushes out, force exploding from him!  The obsidian scimitar CLANGS off the glass tank, no doubt drawing the interest of the THING within.  Somehow emboldened by Korg's urging, and perhaps the spirit of Athas itself, Zimno strikes the tank with a renewed vigor, this time blasting the glass tank with a sturdy blow.The THING darts its eyes towards the eladrin.  It raises a purple and tan colored tentacle, perhaps a dozen feet long, covered in sickly scales, and slaps Zimno across the face and neck.  The tentacle then wraps around the swordmage and attempts to draw Zimno into the tank.[sblock=Zimno]Zimno feels a sickly, greasy presence within his mind.  You dare strike at me?  Fool, I will crush the very life from your worthless form![/sblock]</blockquote>
