Laelanith briefly sees the true concept of nothingness, and realises that she may have caused another Sphere of Annihilation to have been spawned somewhere, possibly even in the Planes. On the plus side, the thing does seem to be pulled into itself... and away from itself... and sort of displaced in time for a moment too...<br/><br/>Just the power of thought alone seems to be enough to actually cause it damage, and this distraction allows the illithid to plunge all three remaining tentacles in. It's possible he hasn't actually realised that it lacks a brain - or it's possible it does have a brain, just one that only he knows how to find. At any rate, he has it grabbed.<br/><br/>Both fiends get the same idea, unleashing a Crushing Despair, however this turns out to be somewhat unwise. The two spells combine, creating a wailing, shrieking, melting Tartarian Dragon, breathing Hellish fumes everywhere as it dissipates, before erupting into bright green flame, a cloud of poisonous lightning gas finally rising from the fires. It seemed to do the trick.<br/><br/>...and the two fiends also seem to be slightly sharing characteristics of each other now.<br/><br/>Finally, there is a terrible twist in the world, and Scourge gets slapped... from the direction of two minutes ago. The disgusting touch of the creature causes her minimal damage, but then, tentacles start sprouting from her body. Thick, black, ropey, spined, burning, phallic tentacles, covered in eyes, worms and anuses. They sprout from her arms and legs, as well as growing out of her mouth and private regions, wrapping around her, although somehow she manages to keep from being grabbed by them. Still, beads of magma and hellfire do drip down and sear her skin.
