As the shambling mound collapsed around them, Ayden closed his eyes in thanks for Finder's blessing guiding their strikes against Moander's spawn. While it was true that Moander's divine power was broken, Ayden could not help but see them as what they were prior to Finder's slaying of the Lord of Corruption.
As Dunstand began examining the room, Ayden placed the magical bag he carried on a relatively dry spot and pulled from within its depths the simple looking wand that was stored within. Walking towards both Chasity and and Calenthang, Ayden could see that both the lady knight and the elvish swordsman were putting on a brave front, but knew in this place that false bravado would only lead them to a foolish demise.
"While I know time is of the essence, we must temper it with common sense. It will only take a moment for the spells stored within the wand to ease the pain that the shambler's attacks inflicted."
Once the wand's work was completed, Ayden turned to see Andreas placing a rolled up cloak into the bag and continue to examine a finely made longsword. When he spoke of the material that the sword was made of, Ayden felt that Calenthang was still the best choice to hold the dangerous blade, as the elvish swordsman would know better than any how to protect himself from his own blade.
Once the group began to move once more, Ayden thought of taking the enchanted short sword out of the bag and offer it to Dunstand or Teleri when the passage exploded in a maelstrom of lights and a voice dripping with malice exploded into each of their minds.
Steeling his wheel against the magical onslaught, Ayden's vision cleared and his eyes saw for the first time the shape of the creature that could only be Tyrinth. However, he also saw that many of his companions had been affected by the spell, and Ayden had no way of knowing how long its crippling effects would last.
~Uncle, I know I have asked for much, but give us the strength we need to protect those who are helpless...~
Ayden watched with pride as Lady Chasity drew first blood against the creature, but that pride became horror as a head snapped around with lightning speed and tore a gash out of the knight's unprotected leg.
Reaching out while calling upon Finder's strength, Ayden placed his hand over the wound and watched as the wound closed over, leaving little evidence of its existance, save the ripped fabric around it.
As the creature raised itself up once more, this time looming over the suddenly small appearing form of Andreas, Ayden's mind raced with anything that could be a diversion, but knew his spells would not be up to the task at hand until he saw the sleek form of the creature Drogo had summoned.
Calling upon Finder to make the creature's natural abilities stronger, Ayden reached down and touched the sleek skinned creature as it passed by him to reach Tyrinth.

Dunstand feels the dagger fall from his grasp and desperately treys to get hold of his rapier. Still not knowing what is going on outside the confined of the darkness, he try’s to take a unmoving step backwards as he hears the sounds of battle, people screaming and the cry’s of anguish.

OoC: As the latest MiA member of the party is Chastity I'll be taking her action for her this round to keep things moving along.
Ayden calls upon Finder's power to enchant the porpoise, making the creature more deadly as it swims towards Tyrinth, a determined look in it's eyes. Most of the party still stunned from the naga's spell are still trying to get their bearings as Chastity swings at Tyrinth once again, but misses her, resulting in a rather large splash as her sword plunges into the water on the downswing. Drogo begins another summoning spell, this time intent on bringing a crocodile to his side. The porpoise reaches the naga and does it's best to inflict a wound, slamming hard into her. (7 damage)
Still eyeing Andreas, Tyrinth snickers, "So you wish a battle of sorcery do you?" The naga plunges her head under the water and swims away about 30 feet towards the back of the cavern, consquently allowing Chastity a second chance to strike at her as she retreats, this attack taking another nick off her scales. (6 damage) Tyrinth turns and sneers, fixing her eyes on Andreas, an odd glint reflecting off them. "I don't think your up to it young one. You look quite tired to me. Maybe you should lie down... get some rest. Maybe then you will be a match for me.."
Thinking What could it hurt? Andreas lowers himself to his knees in the water and lays back. Given the chance to fully regenerate his spells he would certainly be a better match for the naga. It was quite nice of her to allow him this chance after all.
The others notice the sorcerer floating peacefully on top of the water, slowly being carried away by the current, towards the whirlpool room.

Watching as Andreas relaxed and started letting the currents draw him away, Ayden's mind raced thinking of anything he could do to help. Fearing that their friend would drown in his magically relaxed state, Ayden hoped the others would soon recover their wits and press the attack on the naga as he moved foward trying to grab the mage and hold him still.
"Andreas, you must fight back...do not allow her to control your spirit..."
Seeing Drogo moving towards them, Ayden concentrated and called out to the druid with his mind.
~Drogo, do not stop calling the animals to face her...we must buy the others all the time we can...~
Hoping that his message was heard, Ayden returned his focus back to Andreas hoping that the mage would be able to break the naga's hold on him.

Calenthang blinks away the darkness and furrows his brow in confusion at the sudden gaining of his vision.
"Sehahine, help me!" Teleri calls out, her voice echoing as she regains control of her body. Focusing all of her belief in her goddess, the blindness and paralysis slowly fades away. Elated, she looks down and sees Andreas float away, a smile on his lips.
Teleri grabs the wizard and slaps him a couple of times, pain being a nice way to fight some forms of mind control. "Wake up! We need you!"
