Observing Temnir's spell, Raznik attempts to identify it. He also considers the ring Temnir showed him earlier.
01:44, Today: Raznik Tayn rolled 31 using 1d20+13. Spellcraft.
02:15, Today: Raznik Tayn rolled 15 using 1d20+13. Knowledge (Arcana).
Moving down the hill slightly, Raznik steels himself. With what appears to be a grimace of pain, a tear forms in his eye. He nods to himself and begins to cast a complicated spell. As the spell is cast a mark begins to appear on his forehead (see image). A minute later, the mark begins to glow with arcane energy and a horrifying beast appears in front of him.
Standing on four legs, the beast looks like a cross between a skink, an alligator and a dove. Its body is long and sinuous, curving upwards at one end, sprouting two arms with three fingered hands, and ending in a long maw filled with sharp teeth. The front teeth and a pair one third from the tip of the snout are longer than the rest, glistening with a green fluid. The creature's body is covered in white feathers except at its extremities where scales emerge from beneath the down. Its legs are stocky like an alligator's but the front pair have enourmous raking claws, like those of a raptor. Its eyes sit atop the great mouth, glowing a violent blue and upon its left flank there glows a blue mark, the same as that on Raznik's head.
Ranzik whispers to the beast in a strange breathy tongue and it crouches where it is while Raznik returns to the top of the dune to rejoin the others. Reaching out to touch Maeria, he whispers another spell, making a gesture.
"That should protect you. Yx'raul and I are ready and I have a sling, though I am not very skilled in its use." Raznik retrieves his sling from his pack and loads it.
