OR possibility 2: 3.  (End of M's 2nd turn, saves Unconsicous, fails Slow)  "The monster slowly opens its eyes.  It's awake, but still moving lethargically." 4.  (End of M's 3rd turn, saves Slow).  "The monster's finally shakes off the last remnants of sleep." OR possibility 3: 3.  (End of M's 2nd turn, saves Unconscious, saves Slow)  "The monster's snores end abruptly.  Its eyes jerk open, and it looks unwaveringly at you." OR possibility 4: 3.  (End of M's 2nd turn, fails both). "The monster continues to take each breath slowly and deeply."</blockquote>
