Sen's eyes widened as his ears shifted towards the word.  He didn't quite have time to tense as the acid impacted against him - the fierce, burning itch that spread across his back.  Sen's mouth jerked open, his body tensed to scream -<br/><br/>- when he stopped.<br/><br/>The poison seeped into his blood, taking root there.  But he didn't scream.<br/><br/>His arm wavered, as the muscles contracted slightly against his will.  But he didn't tense, didn't shift his hand.<br/><br/>Tears were jarred from his glowing eyes by the pain.  But he did not turn to see who'd fired it, did not let an extra sound leave his lips.<br/><br/>Doing so would negate the spell.<br/><br/>The soft glow in his eyes masked the look of pain - but his sheer focus and concentration kept his mouth as it was.<br/><br/>While the instant seemed like an eternity, the pulse of energy finally left his hand.  The goblin remained as he was for a moment longer, before finally cringing, jerking away a bit and habitually grabbing his left arm, tensing in pain - he could still feel the acid churning within his blood.<br/><br/>He didn't call out - the surprise of the pain was gone.  That, and he still had the reflex from his youth - calling out would bring more pain towards you.<br/><br/>Rather, he gritted his teeth, head shifting towards the now-visible Inse.<br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/>Concentration to keep the spell: 1d20(19) + 14 = 33 (Woohoo! Pass!)
