Seeing the tattooed wizard helpless and held securely by Turilia, Gorun roars into the attack. A good blow to the back of the head, and the luckless apparently-human woman lets out a sound something like a squeak of surprise before slumping even more securely into Turilia's grasp. For her part, she'd been commanded to change. Even if she didn't understand the language, the roiling magic down under her chest tells her quite clearly what she's expected to do. Transform. It's tempting to give in to the pleasure she can sense barely being held at bay, to let it remake her into... whatever her unconscious prey had wanted. The blocks and safeguards are loosened, and she avoids the change she doesn't want by giving into one she's more familiar with. As her face- her<span style="font-style: italic">snout</span>- lengthens, the tattooed mage doesn't stir or look up into the face of her soon-to-be-devourer to see what her magic had set loose. Initially, the transformation goes little noticed, as the others have copious problems on their own. Eiyre, not wanting to find out by experiment what the further reaches of the blob's interior will do to her, redoubles her effort to push free of the slime trying to haul her back. Despite the distraction of it trying to get the best grip it can on bare skin under her armor, through brute strength she pulls herself free and another level up the steps, leaving the dark red tendrils to forlornly writhe behind her.<br/><br/>The reach of those tendrils keeps most from the direct attack on the priestess, to all appearances the last remaining senior cultist who wasn't getting a snake massage or imminently heading down a throat. That woman seems occupied by the fairy she has half stuffed in her craw, at least, which should keep her from doing something magically nasty to the others. Albali continues her advance, firing a crossbow bolt into the wall beside the priestess's head as she and her familiar advance; scorning the steps, Xarithe turns around once the magi is well taken care of and quickly flaps his way over to the redhead, raking her with burning talons. She... shudders, but the cuts don't seem nearly as deep as they should be nor does the fire leave notable burns. Instead she seems far more interested in the fairy in her mouth. Xarithe, airborne as he is, gets an excellent view of Ambrosia's rear waggling in the air as she struggles- though whether it's from pleasure or a desire to escape the slimy grasp of the priestess isn't clear. Intentionally or not, it's not enough to escape a priestess that already has a good grip on her shoulders and arms. Quick, violent swallows haul the fairy, wings and all, down into her throat more even as the eagle attacks and bolt flies; Xarithe gets to see Ambrosia's kicking, bare feet disappear as the priestess shuts her mouth behind them, sealing the fairy in. The resulting bulge in her stomach seems far too small to have been the fairy, but from the motion of her swollen gut digestion doesn't happen that quickly. Instead, she backs off a step, licking her lips. "I took away most of the nutrition," she purrs, "But her soul will be good fuel to subdue the rest of you." On the inside, the priestess's stomach is exceptionally tight; slimy flesh crushes Ambrosia from all sides with enough strength that there's no real churning, just the constant pressure of her stomach walls oozing hot acid and trying to melt her away as quickly as possible...<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;">Xarithe lands a burning talon attack.
