Nuria's eyes widened with surprise, for just as she was about to press her attack again and give the loathsome creature another sampling of the power it -- or he -- had challenged, two slimey critters bodyslammed the Illithid! In the blink of an eye one of them, the tentacle monster, crumbled whilst the other began to choke the life out of the mind-flayer. Did those even breathe? Apparently they did, since strangling obviously had an effect!<br/><br/>The fire-wielder had half a mind to burn both of the monsters to cinders out of frustration, but she<em>had</em>tried to come to an accord with the thing earlier and it didn't feel quite right to do when it was slowly killing their foe already.<br/><br/>Once it was over and their surroundings looked like crumbled ruins again, Nuria slowly walked over to the other two. Phelypsis had rushed over and hugged Sydney in gratitude for her help -- which was fair, the Godlike's own attempt hadn't really worked out -- and stared at them with a raised eyebrow, considering they were spreading tentacle-goop all over themselves. While it was nice and slippery in the act, it probably got pretty gross on the skin once cooled down, so she made a bit of a face when she saw that -- they'd probably only complain if she tried to burn it off of them, too! Unreasonable fire haters, the lot of them!<br/><br/>Well, not really, but the notion to complain about such unreasonable things amused her for a moment. "… haven't seen her since she finished sucking off the flayer. Weird." The tanned woman glanced around, at first with idle annoyance and then growing concern when she couldn't spy the blue-haired bard.<br/><br/>"Hey, Sydney, check the trap thing before we go. Maybe she got caught in it?" She didn't think that Lorelei was that careless, but a subtly placed illusion may have had her walk where she didn't intend to.<br/><br/>"And you look better on display than invisible," she chuckled. "Just need to work more on your stamina ." She stared at those pink nipples on open display for a bit, at least until the sorceress covered them. "I could make you something to cover up, y'know?" She mentioned off-handedly. "Just need a bit of metal --- or you could wear the ooze, it's solid black." If she still controlled it, that was certainly viable. Nuria had heard of clothes that shifted according to your thoughts, this wasn't so different, was it? "And if you don't bring it along and let me try it sooner or later, I'll burn your bunk. Just so you know."<br/><br/>She chuckled and then moved onwards with light steps, not sparing the bit of treasure a second look. If the others didn't want any part of the crown, she was fine leaving it -- the fiery woman had never been concerned about wealth, after all.<br/><br/>She glanced past Phelypsis and took the opportunity to lean on her shoulder, her sleek curves pushing into the demon's more generous ones. "Mmm. Best make sure he's really what he looks like. Wouldn't do to unleash some demon lord or whatever."<br/><br/>She paused and glanced towards the red-skinned woman she was so happily sidling up to, then opted to clarify. "… the kind that's not a cute Andra warior." Not every demon was as -- well, not<em>harmless</em>. Well-intentioned.<br/><br/>"Maybe check if he bleeds red? Or, y'know, be boring and have Sydney check his aura."<br/>
