Going down

[Anastasia]

Dana and Benyen go through. Well, at least there's no explosion right off or worse. Miranda follows, bow at the ready.

[Yuthirin]

TRyll and Calleigh are next through!

[Anastasia]

You stand in a small, cramped room. It is dominated by one massive thing, barely enough space to stand and for the portal back left. A glimmering crystal expands out far and wide. Within the crystal is a massive thing of tornado winds and vague form, something perhaps a giant humanoid in shape, if not in body.

[Yuthirin]

'...'

"..."

"I SAW IT FIRST!' Tryll and Calleigh both yell at each other, at the same time.

[Anastasia]

Dana snorts, "Tough fucking luck, I was here first. The hell is it?"

Miranda peers up, "It's too big to be anything but...could it be a primal elemental?" she muses aloud.

[Yuthirin]

'Everyone stand back. I'm going to try psionics.' Tryll says to the group.

He heads up to the crystal and reaches out with a probing thought, 'Hello.'

[Anastasia]

Do you have mind blank up?

[Yuthirin]

Yep!

[Anastasia]

A pure backlash of mental energies, stopped only by your protections. It leaves you staggered a moment even so, a sheer wellspring of anger, fury and hate.

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh casts Detect Evil!

[Yuthirin]

'Oh wow, okay. Yeah, probably should've done that in the first place.'

[Anastasia]

It radiates overwhelming evil.

What's your total hit dice for the sake of effects, Calleigh?

[Yuthirin]

Same as TRyll, so 32 I believe.

[Anastasia]

It's strong, enough to make Calleigh feel dizzy and queasy. This soon passes down to bearable levels, but she still feels poorly.

[Yuthirin]

"Ugh! Yuck! Big surprise! It's super DUPER evil! Why would we expect to find anything else here!?" Calleigh makes a face.
