[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7568226, member: 79141"] [b]Session 215, Part Three - Unhappy Reunion[/b] Up top, Leon caught sight of movement too, but too late to react: up on the ceiling of the college foyer, a figure emerged from the darkness and fired a shuriken at Salome and then vanished again. Unfortunately for Salome, this was Uru. His shot killed her stone dead, the mechanised shuriken overcoming the Blood of Ostea as it burrowed deep into her. Too late for Salome, Leon unveiled the wayfarer lantern using the oil of the Panarchist faction (granting regeneration and the ability to teleport), but at least his other allies would be protected to some degree. Then he followed Korrigan by levitating through the open sphincter, with Amielle at his side. Quratulain stepped through Leon’s portal, arrived back up top and readied a shot for whenever Uru showed his face again – hoping to take him out quickly and, ironically, rely on the Blood of Ostea to preserve him. Almost immediately, Uru appeared again and got a shot off before Quratulain could do so – this time aiming for Brakken. The minotaur cried out in pain, but his cry was cut short as a paralysing poison did its work. Now, though, Quratulain got her shot off and froze Uru in place with her lantern blaster.

Doran threw two riveting knives to shatter the ice around Uru, then caught him as he fell, light as a shadow; Wolfgang used an electric shock to deftly ‘unstun’ Leon; Leon made a second dimension door inside the craft. Amielle shook off the effect of the lightning orbs and, unwilling to reveal herself and risk further harm, drifted invisibly through the organic complex until she came to a second chamber: Clustering together like enormous grapes, a sac of fleshy nodules rippled with purple electricity that coursed and flowed across the fine mesh that blanketed this chamber in thick ropes and webs.
