There we were: Jaren cursed with a disease, Auge and Versel- stand amidst a
counterattack by their enemies and faced with a choice: Go after Durg? Or root
out invaders in our home? After
a brief discussion on the matter we agree to evict the illithid invaders; may
they reach a fiery end.
Making
his way first from the Vault to the public rooms of the Cinder Block;
Auge pauses to take in the air. Illithids had a flat
greasy quality to their scent; it was one that was hard to
forget. Although Auge detected no presence of
the tentacled ones, their effects were clearly written in
the actions of the many patrons and bar flies unfortunate enough to be in
attendance. He hid until more information was known about the numbers of their
enemies. This did not; however spare the alchemist from the
powerful suggestions of our unseen adversaries.
The
moments stretched as several Cinder Block patrons, Auge, as well as staff were
lured into Neutral Grounds for an alien brain feasting ceremony. It was one elite
flayer of minds which stood apart from his -common partners not just in his
attack style but also in his pulsating, vile-tentacular appearance. Disembodied
brains floated about the illithid like lumpy grey clouds and littered all
around were discarded bloody headless corpses.
Versel entered the fray, his
confidence in his abilities clearly burning in his eyes, quickly dispatched one
of the lesser mind flayers as Jaren casts a spell to counter the effect that enthralled
the peoples. After a few dire seconds Jaren and Auge eventually fell to
stunning mind blasts and Versel is deafened by a critical slam from the
illithid, it was looking dire for the brothers fire.
When suddenly all the floating
brains slammed together in a magical explosion calling into being an elder brain.
The Brain was unnaturally big, pulsed and contracted in high definition. Versel
tried in vain to stun the Brain just as the remaining mind flayer moved to the
Brain and plane shifted safely away, its foul ceremony complete.

Jaren did not fall to any of the mind blasts- in fact it was Jaren who woke Auge from his stunned condition. Sarah's, Jaren's cohort, did fall to the mind magic of the flayers.
Sarosh, not sarah
My bad. I'll have to pay more attention since you've got an npc running around too. Btw the link in the comments is a spell both of us should consider. :)
That spell is awesome! It would be a little twisted in any other
game. But for Half-Dragons it's absolutely fantastic! Hell I may start joining you in an after battle cocktail just for the fun of it.
