Defender of Oerth
Respen, as you are warning the party that the obelisks are both covered by illusions, you begin to concentrate, focusing your willpower, in an attempt to disbelieve...
It takes only a moment for Respen to pierce the veil, and see the truth of the matter, but it is already too late. As the words were leaving his lips, the trap was sprung!
What Respen saw, and what the rest of the party now also sees, is that the black obelisk is not black at all, nor is it smooth. It is covered in runes, much like the other obelisk. It is actually a beige color, and there are 4 keys attached to it, one on each side. The runes are written in the Sphinx's native language.
The other obelisk, i.e., the obelisk that Thallok and Tam were looking at, is not an obelisk at all! It is a large, foul, gruesome looking creature, which resembles a column of living rock, with a large, single, central eye, gaping maw, and six tentacles, each of which is almost 80 feet long!
While Tam and Thallok were looking at the obelisk, the creature was slowly encircling them (but not touching them) with two of its tentacles! Each tentacle had already encircled both Tam and Thallok 3 times! As the illusion drops, the tentacles suddenly tighten, SURPRISING both Tam and Thallok!
The other four tentacles had made it into the hallway, and had encircled Dewydd, Kleborn, and Sylvar once each. The last tentacle had begun to move toward Respen, but was still 15 feet distant from him!
Dewydd, Kleborn, and Sylvar are also surprised, as the tentacles tighten around them as well!
Respen and Vale are the only ones who are not currently ensnared...
This is a small, young one. The one you are facing is ancient, and huge.
