Tinka seemed to be handling the magical blindness without too much panic, though it was obvious the gnomish woman was clearly worried.  She swung her glowing staff about wildly, the glowing tip throwing off motes of light when it struck the ground, and several meaty thwacks as it connected with and swept away rats that advanced upon her.  Still she couldn't resist a surprised yell as she found herself being lifted into the air,<strong>"Waaagghhh!"</strong><br/><br/>Velma grabbed the gnome and dashed into the gate.  It had opened under Tinka's spell, but it crashed open when Velma's half bear form hit it.  Slamming into the bars next to it with a resounding 'clang' Velma roared loudly, the sound echoing off the stone walls.  However even as the roar faded the sounds of the elvish man's voice reached her ears, a low mournful sound that echoed back upon itself.  The words were in elvish and didn't matter.  The tone spoke of love lost, of death, despair, pain, and the futility of continuing.  Even as his voice reached her ears, her rage felt, for a moment lessened as she began to question herself.  A moment only and she tried to shake off the effect the song had on her, because the elvish man was raising a crossbow loaded with a glowing arrow tip and aiming right at her.  At this distance he wasn't likely to miss.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">ooc</div><div class="spoiler_body">For 'theme' <span class="bbc_u">open this link</span> (https://youtu.be/qygSHQ9GZtw?t=2m) and play the music from 2:00 on<br/><br/>Velma is <span class="bbc_u">shaken</span> (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/conditions#TOC-Shaken) by the bard's magical ability, and takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.<br/><br/>While Tinka is now safe from the rats, they continue to swam and nip at Velma's feet and legs.  Again the damage is not able to penetrate her DR, but she still needs to make a DC 14 fortitude save, don't forget the penalty for the bard's dirge.<br/><br/><br/>https://youtu.be/qygSHQ9GZtw?t=2m<br/></div></div>
