*As Zaeryn turns to back towards the cabin, calling out, he feels a great despair and sense of wrongness coming from somewhere nearby. Looking up, he sees a hideous creature of rotting flesh and an all-consuming darkness that seems to absorb all nearby light and make it hard to see. It snarls a raspy laugh as it leap from the forecastle to the ground, neatly blocking the way back in just in front of the door, although admittedly this does put it in position for a flank by someone who comes out through said door.*
*Valyssa stares, entranced in horror, unable to look away from the creature, as it sucks the elan vitale from her, draining away her beauty and force of personality and relishing in it. Zaeryn is not so entranced, but he still feels a bit uneasy and psychically enervated as well.*
(OOC: Valyssa is Fascinated and loses 3 Charisma.
Zaeryn is Shaken and loses 1 Charisma.
All the Good Guys get to go now, except Talia, who was surprised)
