Status: Skirt & outfit generally damaged, carrying a griffon egg, Shield for 2 min? (AC 22)<br/>HP 83 of 83     Spells remaining: 3 of 7 1st, 3 of 4 2nd, 1 of 1 from bonded object<br/>Ammunition remaining: 15 (+3 in pack) common arrows, 15 silvered, 20 cold iron, 1 Slow Burn, 3 Tangleshot<br/><hr/>"A little trouble with an ooze, and some bad luck.  Clumsy me, I dropped my bow right in the middle of the trap."  She eyed the catgirl, who could clearly take care of herself, then turned her attention to the valve.  "C'mon, water...."<br/><br/>And come it did, water gushing through the pipes, and wonderfully restorative water spritzing around her, dispelling the tingling non-pain she felt, closing the nasty cuts from the griffon.  Her savouring of the mist was interrupted by the sound of Sabrith sputtering in the water; did catgirls dislike it as most cats did?  She was leaning closer to the grille to make a comment to that effect, so she had a perfect view as the strange thing attacked the red-head.  "Sabrith!  ...I guess that wasn't here before?"  Despite her strength, the catgirl didn't seem able to defend herself against the nasty green thing - even an archer as good as Rayne couldn't target such a small coil without piercing her ally.  And though she shouldn't enjoy it, there was something sexy in how Sabrith's clothing was seemingly dissolved - this must have explained Rayne's hesitation, watching as poor Sabrith was violated by the parasite at both ends... watching long enough to see as Sabrith gradually stopped fighting against the unknown creature.<br/><br/>"Sabrith?  Are you... are you OK?"  A ridiculous question, considering what the tendrils were doing... and then, what was bizarrely growing from "her".  "What the... Sabrith... snap out of it!"  But Sabrith wasn't home, apparently... and what she droned was altogether too clear.  Rayne jumped back, startled, when Sabrith charged the grille.  "Hey now... you already have one... uhh... Sabrith, wake up!  Wake up, now...."   For a moment the catgirl's face was framed in the square of the grille, grinning and eyes glowing unnaturally... but still Rayne would not abandon her new companion here.  She snapped her fingers, ineffectually.  "Sabrith...".  The bright green tube was still visible, coiled on and around the catgirl - presumably that had to come off!  She might have to hurt the girl to free her... Rayne readied her bow again, preparing to shoot through the grille.<br/><br/>"Sabrith... sorry about this!  Wake up, please!"  Rayne tried one more plea, then her mouth was needed to send a Web through the grille to wrap around Sabrith, perhaps to buy more time for some precision shooting.<br/><hr/>cast<strong>Web, DC 16</strong><br/><br/>Regardless of the Web's effect, Rayne thought to try one other non-lethal approach, throwing her hand forward and firing a spray of colours at Sabrith's glowing eyes... perhaps it would effect the parasite through her, allowing Sabrith to resume her struggles.<br/><hr/>cast<strong>Color Spray</strong>
