It was... horrible to watch, having taken flight as Aria had, but held herself back as the woman's body became a biological bomb.  It was hideous... one of the worst things she'd seen yet... but what in the nine hells had happened?  Aria 'rescued' Semmon, and addressing the woman nearby (it was my understanding that there was another woman around watching, or an acolyte or something), she sent her to go get Rana and some people to clean Semmon up before he<em>woke</em>up, figuring being found in such a state would be highly detrimental to his psychological state.<br/><br/>Then she noted something even<em>more</em>horrendous: there, amidst the bodies, were small, fist-sized illithids... which is when she<em>snapped</em>.  Screaming, she threw her hand forward and uttered a sonic spell straight into the mass of flesh and illithid.  She kept screaming, launching volley after volley, shredding the illithids and pureeing the remains of Anya, tearing it into the ground with the force of the spell as well.  After the seventh casting, she was breathing heavy, still nowhere near calm, but somehow feeling just a little bit better.<br/><br/>"Aria... make sure Semmon is alright and finish the magical items..." she said, softly as she headed back intending to find her bed and sleep "Come get me when you're ready to teleport to Tsurlagol... we leave when you're done..."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I'm going to pretend she has those extra seven 4th level spell slots right now, for the sheer humor of it.  She's casting Resonating Bolt(I assume all the mindflayer tadpoles technically occupy the same space) until there's nothing but a massive bloodstained hole in the ground... figuring about 7 castings will dig down quite deep, considering it is designed to also penetrate solid objects and demolish through them.<br/><br/>Alternatively, if you prefer I not take such liberties, she'll just shank them with her sword until they're the consistency of chunky salsa ^_^</div></div>
