Gio? Are you there?

@Caldizar

*Both of our voices seem muted by the darkness*
Yeah, I'm here. But I wish I wasn't.

*My head snaps up to look at you, as the gaseous-body qualities that I had before have suddenly kicked back into place for your attack, and in the same instant with a surge of speed and force combined with the momentum I'm already moving at with your previous attack, I smash my palm directly into your sternum

@Melodious

*Gets knocked backward by the blow but grabs your arm and swings you over my shoulder*

@Fractured

Alright, quick question.

*Pauses*

Do you think sparking a flame will dispel whatever this darkness is?

@Caldizar

That's something I can help with!
*Pauses for a few seconds*
It won't blow up, so that's a good start.

@Nimda

Well that's a relief. Do you think a full on light would work too?

@Caldizar

Whatever this creature is, it's enchanted the darkness to eat up light. You'll probably see your hand in front of your face is all.

@Nimda

Hmm.

*I summon a flame in my hand and project it outward in a fan-like spray, hoping to burn whatever this entity is*

@Caldizar

*The flames emit a dull light that barely extends beyond their own length and peter out after a few seconds*

@Source

*You rip the arm off instead, and it detonates in your face*

@Nimda

*Withdraws my hand*

Well that did absolutely nothing.

@Source

*My arm re-manifests in place such that it is already pointed toward you, palm-out. The air shifts in a huge pulse around it as raw force slams into the ground just beneath you, breaking the ground into tiny shards of debris that fire into you from below*

@Melodious

*The air whips around me in a tornado, pulling any chunks that fly at me into its spiral*

@Melodious

*Once I recover enough to move quickly, launches another ball of black lightning into you, rippling with more corrupting energy from the damage I’ve sustained*

@Caldizar

Seems like this’ll dampen all kinds of magic. You three probably want to figure out how to escape from this thing before you’re digested.

@Nimda

Well if esoteric means won't work...

*Drops into a crouch, my left hand raised with fingers splayed*

Then we'll just have to do things the old fashioned way!

*Slams my hand into the soft ground, gauntleted fingers digging in to tear out large chunks*

@Caldizar

*You remove chunks of flesh from the tongue of an ancient monster, a beast with enough age to be embedded into the mountain itself*
Good luck!
*The floor starts moving up and down, creating mounds that fall away as quickly as they appear, creating a series of waves that pull everyone backward toward the being's throat*

*It stops your fall, but the waves of flesh are relentless*

@Nimda

Ugh. This isn't what I expected when traipsing into a dungeon...

*Gazes into the umbral expanse below*

I might actually have to use my true power here...
