Pottofer gasps at the effects his spell has created, and quickly dismisses the effects. He meant it to attack his enemies, not his friends! He runs forward, desperate to do something, but not sure what. Brigitte continues to struggle and scream in the owlbear's grasp, but its arms are long and its strength is prodigeous. Shar sets herself and flings her dagger, but the distance is too far, and the dagger falls short. Abdul and his riders stop their shooting, setting their bows back in their cases, a grim expression on their faces.
Drax's steps forward, shaking off Pottofer's words and slashes one of the small monstrosities deeply. With a strange popping sound, it collapses into a pair of clear, egg-shaped stones. Elexia continues to charge forward on Charity. Mother, I think I can follow them from the air. My heart will touch yours, and I will tell you what happens to her, even if you cannot see her, Laylan whispers, and takes to the air to follow the owlbear. Virgil snaps out of his daze, and continues his song. Gaoi turns the wand on the last creature, firing off a stinking green arrow that melts the creature into a single clear stone. The owlbear flies off into the sky, rapidly gaining speed and receeding into the sky.
Abdul turns to the others and shakes his head. "I am sorry about your friend. You have only a few choices. Follow her and attempt to rescue her from the Forbidden Lands, a feat no one has ever accomplished, with only your own skills. Or to go to Benshay and attempt to use what magics they know there to help you in your hopeless quest," he says in tones of doom.
OOC - Pottofer advances. Brigitte attempts to free herself but fails. Shar misses with a 10. Abdul and the Bedine riders hold their fire. Drax fells one little creature. Elexia charges on. Virgil delays. Gaoi fells another with with Melf's acid arrow. The owlbear flies on very swiftly.
