[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7570763, member: 79141"] [b]Session 216, Part One - In the Belly of the Beast[/b] Even before the gidim leviathan erupted from the Triunfo, Korrigan and his remaining allies were fighting to fend off reactive defences (such as mucus clouds, bioelectricity and mind control), mutated shock troopers, and other defenders Amielle had spotted advancing through the craft – not the least of which were the three missing unit member, Rumdoom, Uriel and Gupta. Fortunately, Leon still had the Wayfarer Lamp granting them regeneration and the ability to teleport within its radius. Quratulain concerned herself with the shock troopers for now, as their very presence was electrifying (quite literally). She fired shot after shot, injuring several more. Korrigan was so impressed he told her to do it again and she did, felling a few. Glaucia felled another with her staff, and teleported adjacent to another. Suddenly the executores found herself beset by enticing whispers, seeking to befriend her. But her mind was too strong for gidim domination. Four infiltrators moved invisibly into the chamber. Leon could see them. Amielle could too – on the screens; three more were on their way from deeper in the vessel. She moved to where she could see the flesh fens and still keep an eye on the screens, then pulled off a trick shot that would have impressed even Matunaaga: shooting one of the invisible gidim through the head with a ghost bullet, by using the image on the screen behind her. Rumdoom stomped into the chamber, dominated, and filled the chamber with swirling ice. Gupta swept past him in tiger form, also coming to attack her friends. Uriel was still further away: standing in a kind of large intestine full of prison pods, where they had all been kept. He shook his head to clear it and then Korrigan heard the following, communicated telepathically: “I hope you can hear me, King Baldrey. I have been freed from gidim domination by Xambria Meredith, and am now yours to command.” (It transpired that the gidim had sensed another mind within Uriel, but had been satisfied when Xambria shoved out Shuman Larkins, who had also taken up residence in Uriel’s brain.) “I do have a strange idea that may help free at least one of our fellows…” Korrigan mentally welcomed him back, and gave him leave to try. Meanwhile, one of the shock troopers had freed itself from gidim control and, seeing the changes that had been wrought upon its form, began to scream in horror. Quratulain was just about to fire on it but – inspired by Korrigan’s much earlier words – decided to give it a second chance, and killed some of the others instead. Korrigan telepathically mocked the infiltrators, to draw their attacks upon him; Glaucia summoned a fiery pillar; Brakken rendered himself imperceptible, and sent Feroz to rip into the gidim; Amielle, having revealed herself to the presence in the navigation chamber, found herself pinned to the floor by telekinesis, despite her intangible form. More infiltrators arrived and tried to take out Quratulain. They failed, but left her exhausted by the desperate effort to defend herself. Leon made good use of his truesight and illusion powers, combining them to create active illusions of the invisible gidim, placed exactly where they stood and mimicking their movements. This meant they could be targeted and, better still, could not make damaging sneak attacks on their foes. Quratulain and Amielle felled more of them. [/QUOTE]
