Safe inside her stone cocoon, the priestess tries to gather her strength despite the ongoing harassment; her companion, the tattooed illusionist, is abandoned with seemingly not a second thought. Aided by Kaheksa's healing, however... odd... it may feel, Turilia is quickly able to pull the unresisting mage into her stomach before the pleasure becomes too much to focus on anything else. Though waves of bliss roll through her head and tempt her onward, the...<span style="font-style: italic">natural</span>feel of a heavy body slithering into her stomach and bulging it out for all to see is enough of a distraction for her to not succumb to her meal's parting magical blow. Seeing that her job is done- even if Turilia were to pass out now, that wouldn't help the mage- Kaheksa deftly withdraws her hands and begins heading over to the main fight, ignoring the ooze altar and ignored by it in turn.<br/><br/>Gorun, with a stone wall between him and his prey, begins trying to punch his way through it to get to the priestess. It's no illusion, and no weak 'magic' stone; it's exactly as solid as three inches of stone should be, and fails to yield under his pounding or attempts to pry sections loose. Seeing that, Eiyre cautiously moves closer, taking the time to heal herself while she tries to figure out how to get through to the gooey priestessy candy center inside the stone shell. Albali takes an opposite tack, pressing herself against the side of the stone cell with her long hair trailing around the corner and still writhing around the priestess's neck and arms. Though she manages to cast a spell through the distraction of tugs on her head from the priestess's struggles, it seems to have no effect on the full priestess. Xarithe gets a faceful of what's distracting Albali; with the hair trying to cover her body, the priestess is too busy keeping one arm free and her stomach sealed to do much in the way of threatening him... though she does reach out and manage to brush one wing with a flailing free hand. It feels a bit... strange, but there's no obvious hazard so he uses the cell as a makeshift oven and fills it with fire. This works fairly well, though the priestess's shriek is one more of outrage than pain; the pain heat even penetrates into Ambrosia's cell. She fights, and comes agonizingly close, getting one hand actually back up into the priestess's throat while the flames distract her, but soon a muscle spasm forces it back down into her embracing stomach. Ooze continues to cover her, but the stomach needs time to build up more of the powerful juices that had welcomed her. The crushing strength of her slimy walls also slackens a bit, even as the renewed assault on her mind comes close to persuading the fairy that she is where she's supposed to be and should just stop fighting. Ambrosia yet stays in control of herself, and at this rate the priestess may need quite some time to reduce her to fuel and fat.<br/><br/>[[Actions!

Xarithe is hit with Touch of Chaos: next round, roll 2d20 instead of 1d20 on anything you do and take the worse result. Grapple check to maintain hold on Ambrosia succeeds; 3 bludgeoning damage and 5 acid damage (all soaked by DR) for 3 total damage to Ambrosia. Will save is DC 8, Ambrosia rolls a 3+5=8. Oooooof.
