Linda rubs her bloated belly for a moment as the Shawled Mermaid manages to fend off their continued attacks. It makes the Lamia want to give her another hungry mouth to worry about, one that's confident in it's capacity to eat/drink that entire form. But distance, potential buoyancy issues, and the fact that mermaid is managing to fend off predators more aggressive and capable of actually catching prey than herself keep her floating back where she is. Also danger of getting close enough to something capable of fending of Aethon and Dusk simultaneously. So she supports them further with another black beam of negative energy.<br/><br/>[Another Enervation. Rolled 5+5+10 against touch AC. 2 levels drained if it hits.]
