Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Reaches toward the air, but glances at my hand when nothing happens*
That did something.

@Fractured

Yes it did, although I have no idea wha-

*I am cut off as what looks to be a ray of pure flame comes rushing towards my head from one of the beast's many eyes, forcing me to focus on dodging lest my body be melted in place*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Scatters a handful of ball bearing and then slams my palm against the ground, creating three magic circles that quickly spring to life and then fade into the stone below*

@Fractured

*My magic missile burns the beast's hide, rousing it from slumber in a whirl of snapping teeth and bulging eyes*

Ah, that seems to have riled it.

*I summon up a flame in my palm as the Beholder floats in the air above, when a cone of violet energy suddenly erupts from its central eye, nullifying all magical effects in the area*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I've never seen one of these before, but it's round, probably squishy, and covered in eyes. I'd target those if you want to fight it.

@Nimda

Hmm. Probably a good idea.

*Lifts my hand, arcane energies swirling into it for a moment before arcing out towards the creature in the shape of an arrow*

Myriad Reality

You're talking the giant meatball with eyes, right? Despite the RPG theming here, I've never really played DND.

@Nimda

Yeah, the eyebeasts

*My voice only reaches the three of us*
Analysis complete. Based on my professional spirit analysis, it's some kind of weird, demon-looking thingy.

@Nimda

Does your analysis tell you anything more specific than that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*A red magic circle in my eyes makes one full rotation as I search for traps and hidden enemies*

@Nimda

*You find no traps, but the strange lump in the room's center catches your eye, alarmingly so. For that object is no ordinary stone, but the bumpy hide of a slumbering Beholder*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*Follows down a long and narrow, unmanaged passageway with a mild downward slope*

@Fractured

*Arrives in a sizeable chamber, the center of which is dominated both by shimmering crystals and what appears to be a very unnatural lump of stone*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I guess that means we should start making our way down.

@Fractured

*Nods, summoning the light once more before venturing into the darkness ahead*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

*The entrance responds to your touch and forms itself into a much wider fracture in the rock*
Handy.

@Fractured

*Wiggles my fingers while taking a step back*

Very.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Make sure you don't activate a trap or destroy the entrance, and that's fine by me.

@Fractured

Heh, I think I can manage.

*Steps up to the wall and lays my hands against its jagged surface, power rippling out of my form and into the stone, reshaping it*
