The party moved to the location just outside the city, setting themselves up with little time to spare - as the sounds drew closer and closer together, down to minutes, and then seconds apart - exactly one hour past noon, the loudest peal of thunder strikes yet, and with a flash of unsettling green light above the party, the boundaries between this world and the First are sundered and a true monster steps through.<br/><br/>This hideous reptilian beast stands nearly 30 feet high, with a long, scaly neck, a vaguely draconic body, and a long whiplike tail. Its arms and legs are thin but incredibly strong, ending in sharp talons. Immense draconic wings flap on its back, and its ovoid head is a nightmare of bulging eyes, sharp teeth, and long, thin antennae or whiskers. There is horror in Sena's voice, as she cries out a single word.<br/><br/>"Jabberwock!"<br/><br/>And then all hell broke loose.<br/><br/>The creature began to emit the strangest sound, a horrific, maddening babble of of strange noises and shouted nonsense, that swept over the clearing. (Everyone needs to make a DC 27 Will save, or be confused for 1 round.) At the same time, some of that energy from its arrival seems to bleed into Briar, causing the blade to thrum with power. (It is currently treated as if it had the full Sharpness modifier) A beautiful voice sang out from it, as it did so, "My love! Where are you, my love? Have you come for me at last?"
