The tempo begins to wind down; many of the enemies are dispatched or sorely pressed save the naga, whose bulk seems to be keeping most from being eager to move into the striking range of its tail- to say nothing of the extended claws and fangs she still sports with crossed arms over her round chest. While inside the naga, Ambrosia is finding exceptional pleasure as stomach walls massage without digesting, Gorun gives no such safe harbor to the cultist. As his stomach continues to ooze slime over its occupant, he continues frantically scrabbling at the hole he came in through with no effect save to tire him out more quickly. And the gnome continues fighting Eiyre as well- but equally fruitlessly, as his understrength frame can't lever his upper body out of the young woman's esophagus. Turilia lays into the catfolk that had dared try to grab her, staff and fangs combining for a brief barrage of blows; again she tastes blood and flesh, but this time the urge is all the more strong as her target slumps backwards against the naga's bulk, spent. But Albali sees none of that- free at last by Gorun's intercession, she joyfully moves over, ignoring the threatened attacks from other cultists that do not come, and gently grabs the gnome. Just one lick is enough to bring back so many memories- gnomes had (understandably) mostly cleared out of the area of late, and her foraging had gotten increasingly more difficult. The wonder, as Albali savors that first taste of a fresh gnome with that melt-in-your-mouth savory flavor, is that others couldn't taste just how good the little devils were and hunt them to extinction. More for her.<br/><br/>[[Actions:<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;">Albali successfully grapples and devours the unconscious gnome; it's really hard not to.
