[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7376012, member: 9255"] THE HIDDEN: BEYOND NEW WATER 09 PURSUIT SEGMENT 184 ”EYE OF THE BEHOLDER” 03/17/18 BARRAKAS 13, 1000 Payback and Dan lead the group with Catherina in the middle and two most cautious members in the back- Gern and Azzime. There are several off-shoot doorways but they are either an orange or yellow door. These require a key of equal colored. Nothing of interest is seen through these doorways. Dan and the orc continue straight on past these. Payback spots an oddity on the wall ahead of him. Dozens of one inch holes in the wall. “Looky here.” Says the large orc. “Someone spying on me?” The orc peers into a hole. Nothing. Moves towards the center of the ten foot section of holes and again peers in with his head directly up against the wall. “Hell-ooooooooo.” Just as he is about to back-off suddenly four barbed tentacles with a slight glow stab through some of the holes…… including the one where his eye is. “Yearrrrgh!” the mighty orc screams. He rips and tears at the tentacles as the others move up to help. The tentacles move back through the holes before they can attack. One has a trophy. “Pull back you lummox!” calls Azzime as he tries to grab and pull back the seriously injured orc ranger. The barbarian once more burbs out fire. Most of it is blocked by the thick wall. Little filters through holes. Azzime reminds himself to ask about the fire if they survive this. The human ranger is incredibly skilled (or lucky) as most of her shots go through the holes but fail to hit anything on the other side. Payback hits and shouts at the wall demanding the villain to reveal itself. It does by grappling and tearing into his leg. The other tentacles miss. Azzime tries to hold and push the orc again. He finds himself nearly used as a weapon. Then he tries two new tactics. The diplomacy doesn’t work as the orc is so enraged. So instead, it is suggested there is a door further down. That gets Payback’s attention. Gern tries to blast the creature on the other side also. Azzime doesn’t think it is magic but then what is it? This energy does harm it but little seems to be happening to it. Azzime calls out the obvious- “Just get past the holes. It can’t harm us otherwise!” “I have a better idea.” Snarls Dan. He drops his weapon and waits impatiently. So does Payback understanding the plan…. A crazy plan….. but a plan just the same. The tentacles thrust through again hoping to find something. With only one eye, the orc misjudges and misses. Dan doesn’t. He grabs and pulls as hard as he can. There is a brief thump sound behind the wall as the creature is pulled into it. Payback smiles. He picks up his double axe and slices it up. A mental scream comes out. Seeing an opportunity, Azzime pushes the orc forward with whatever force he can. They pass the creature except for Gern whom stares at the wall with malice. In Xoriat he says- “I am but the first. Soon you will be visited by the others.” And leaves. The Grell with extra psychic powers does it best to memorize this strange psychic creature that has threatened him. [/QUOTE]
