Fhilereane reaches down to grasp the final ring.

You all heave on the rings in your hands at the same time and hear a series of gears grind to life below your feet. Looking over the edge you see the bridge slowly rising from the canyon floor far below.

But, that's not the only change in your environment. Another eye, this one smaller and attached to a stalk, snakes out from behind the beholder and blasts where you stand with a ray, just as the central eye winks shut. You feel a lurch and then a slam as you fall to the ground momentarily dazed and blinded. Well, not exactly blinded but everything is out of focus, as if you're looking out of someone elses eyes.

Skleroc hisses as the ray slams into him and he hits the ground. Shaking his lizardlike head in a vain attempt to clear his vision, the dragon shaman instantly activiates his draconic aura to boost his, and his companions, senses. (OOC: +2 to Listen, Spot and Initiative checks to allies within 30ft).

Skleroc then reassesses his environment and looks to see if the bridge is still rising, and then whether the giant beholder eye on a stalk is still looking at them, poised to strike them again.
 

Skleroc tries to activate his draconic aura but nothing happens, he shakes his head but something about it doesn't feel right. It seems lighter, he looks around at his companions and spots another lizard dragon shaman standing a few feet to his right. His eyes clearing he sees the huge eye of the beholder once again watching the party. The eye on the stalk slowly retreating back behind the beholder.
 

Skleroc, while not of sharpest mind nor great wit, has many years of experience with the world, and quite some with his current companions. Suppressing a slight panic moment, he holds out his hand and looks at the appendage, fearing most that the lizardman that he sees, is on fact himself!
 


With his worst fears realised, Skleroc groans, and promptly cuts the sound short. He tries it again, obviously testing the new sound that previously would ahve resulted in a hiss. He looks more closely at the form to see which of his companions' forms he now resembles. "I be Skleroc," he says. "Who is it that resides in my body?" he asks looking at the lizardman.
 


"We are also affected. We do not appear to be within our body." Kageri looks around noticing his own body a few feet away. He then looks down at the form he is standing in. Most unsual. thinks the Collective.
 

Halidon looks up, startled by his own body introducing himself with a very different name.

"Skelroc, how did you end up in our...I mean my body? We knew this was a bad idea...I mean...um...did anyone else get transferred into a body that already had other minds within? Kageri?"


Most unusual indeed...
