She could save herself. Head into the waters, safe from further attack. But that would mean exposing this delicate growth to the Shambler's sure retribution and spite. She remembers Dilys then.No, instead she hunkers down where she is, curling her body around the fragile life in her care. Tendrils more powerful than a mighty constrictor wrap themselves around the drow, squeezing her fine frame not only with the force of rib-crushing compresssion but also oozing necrotic acid that sizzles and burns against any exposed skin.[HR][/HR][USER=20459]@Nephis[/USER] has declared that Twyll will eat the DBSM's attack, shielding the delicate plant with her own body, taking r7 +1 -1 armor -1 special armor conveyed by waters = 6 HP damage. Twyll is now at 7 HP![HR][/HR]Asmodeus. He Who Was. The Flayed Memory. Helm. PRITCHARD's mind races over the players as the compulsion to snuff this fragile vegetative life swells within his breast, literally taking away his breath and nearly overcoming him with malice. Yes, to crush that budding plant beneath his heal like a vile insect...But no! Pritchard's ratiocinating mind takes over, tamping down the hate in his breast.Instead of fleeing, he had lingered here to pull whatever secrets were responsible for the continued existence of this tiny life against all odds in a morass of undeath. At the very least, such knowledge--potency against necromancy and undeath!--would prove useful in the fight against Valindra Shadowmantle and her unliving servants. Now it seems even greater forces contend here, some seeking to use him as their puppet.That will not be, whatever the cost![HR][/HR]Pritchard trafficks with dark forces and sometimes gives in to wicked impulses. For now, however, he continues to wield[] dark power in order to do good. I will keep the plant near me and nurture it to protect myself from infernal retribution (and prepare for more related troubles as a result).</blockquote>
