[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7571813, member: 79141"] [b]Session 216, Part Two - Fighting in the Flesh Fens[/b] The fight raged on. Rumdoom went toe-to-toe with Quratulain. Glaucia was chained by the gidim, and thrown telekinetically into the acid bath. She teleported out, but straight into a newly formed mucus cloud. The freed shock trooper launched himself at the gidim, but they kept moving out of its reach. Gupta pounced on Leon, knocking him to the floor and causing his illusions to freeze in place. Despite his silksteel mantel, Leon was badly hurt by her claws, and now she had him pinned, worse was sure to follow. That is, until Brakken brought her to heel. She was still long enough for Uriel to teleport close. In his hands he had a tinfoil hat, specially designed by Krazy Krauss to prevent mind control – a hat Malthusius had studied and which Uriel could therefore summon into his possession. He magically reshaped it and placed it on the weretiger. It worked! Gupta was freed from domination, and Brakken protected her from it happening again. Rumdoom grew to giant size. “Come back to your senses,” Quratulain chided, trying to drop him before he did some serious damage, but unlike other foes, he did not seem to be bothered by her attacks. Unsure if dropping him was the goal she asked her king, “You want this guy down?” Korrigan stepped up alongside her, healed her and said, “We’ll take him down together.” Glaucia helped with a pillar of fire. Rumdoom stood firm, and if anything seemed to be getting stronger. Quratulain redoubled her efforts. The last gidim threw Leon into the acid pit. He too teleported straight out and rewarded the gidim with tiefling fire, killing it. The poor shock trooper fell sobbing to the deck, denied vengeance. Now the tremors throughout the ship grew steadily more intense. Brakken sought to commune with the ship itself and at first sensed nothing more than a bestial, albeit alien intelligence. Then he found himself suddenly confronted with a far greater mind that was in control of the leviathan – a mind he recognised from Cherage: Sijhen! Before it could react, he read its surface thoughts: a sense of urgency, to complete its mission. He understood that the leviathan and Sijhen itself were empowered by emotions, drawn from Ursalina itself and from throughout Lanjyr. The plan had been to remain here until sufficient amounts had been absorbed; but since they had been discovered, Sijhen was falling back on Plan B… Brakken was suddenly spotted and swatted. He shrugged off the psychic blast, but a physical rumble threw almost everyone, including him, to their knees. “It looks like we’ve run out of time,” shouted Korrigan. Just then, as the leviathan began to tear through solid rock, and heave itself upwards, Quratulain lashed out with a final blow that knocked Rumdoom unconscious. [B]Outside[/B] When the leviathan had departed, Doran and Wolfgang waited while an oculus roved close by. Both were protected by oculus prisms, however, (as was the unconscious Uru) so the thoughtform left them alone. Doran took out a magical ‘distress flare’ that took the form of a tin whistle. He blew on it. As a trusted agent of the crown, he had been given this device by Lauryn Cyneburg herself, in case of emergencies. It immediately alerted all other high-ranking Risuri agents of his presence, location and need of help. One such agent was Admiral Rutger Smith.

It won’t be long before it gets here, and I don’t want to fight two enemy vessels at once.” [B]End of Session [URL]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQHAhD3FYdA[/URL] [/B] [/QUOTE]
