Turning to face the trio walking in the door, he quickly began analyzing each of them in turn while Sara traded words with Gunther.  As Gunther pulled a sword and stepped to the attack,  as did several other of the customers, Tanix simply walked to one side, apparently judging the distances of several combatants at once from his rapidly shifting eyes.  Stopping, he stands and for the moment simply seems to stare at Sara and her two friends.<br/><br/>A low, almost sub-sonic humming suddenly seems to emanate from his person, which quickly grows in power as it reaches a thrumming crescendo, but it ends as soon as it starts.  What looks like a distortion in the air pulses out from his forehead, quickly expanding and racing across the room to wash over Sara, the tiefling, and the gnome brandishing the grenade launcher.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Move action to clear Tess and Gunther from the area.<br/><br/>Tanix manifests <span style="font-style: italic">Psionic Blast</span>, augmented with an additional 2 points (+1 to effect duration and save DC, total of 7 points spent).<br/>Sara, the succubus, and the grenade launcher gnome must make a DC 20 will save or be stunned for 2 rounds.</div></div></div>
