Kalyr is set in my original fantasy world of Kalyr, and focuses on the struggle between the ancient and decadent kandar civilisation, and their rebellious human slaves. It features psionics, arcane technology, strange alien races, mystery and intrigue. Influences include Gene Wolfe & Jack Vance, but don't let that put you off!

Kalyr - 35.4a: Battle of the Wills

[Reylorna, Duplar, Dharak]

Reylorna, Duplar, Dharak and Verthes link minds to make a defense
against the mental monster.

The mental blasts come one after another;  It's trying to chip away at
the combined mental shield; sooner or later it will break through.

Reylorna's counterattack, even when boosted by the powers of the other
three isn't quite enough to break though the creature's own mind
shield.

But Duplar does get a fix on the thing - He thinks it's due north;
just level with the treeline.
