Re: Psionics: Invaders!
OOC: Ok, lets bump this back up to active. Sorry about the outage, moving house took more out of me that I had expected.
Deepwalker responds quickly to the attack, throwing up a screen of force and pulling on his silent reserves to shift his form subtly; he begins to look more like a bear than a man.
The minotaurs try desperately to free themselves from the ropers clutches, but it seems they are rapidly losing the battle; some drop to the ground, unable to fight back anymore as their muscles are paralyzed by the tentacles horrid venom. The ropers drag them in, opening maws filled with shining teeth.
Other minotaurs, yet to feel the weakening lash, dash into the centre to attack the rocky creatures themselves, yet find their blades have little purchase on the rocky skins. One or two lucky blows land, but little more seems to be achieved.
The cleric leading the Svirf looks grave, and shakes his head before apparently making his mind up. He raises his holy symbol and speaks dark curses in his odd dialect. Everyone feels ill, as if something were sucking against your lifeforce, but the little cleric steps close to the roper and puts his hand with his holy symbol directly into its mouth. The creature bites down hard on it, his teeth ripping through the lightly armored forearm, but his spell has its intended effect - in an instant, the tentacles go slack as the creature dies, its life snuffed out by his mangled hand inside it.
Everyone, another action. Schnick, you still haven't been noticed.
