[Reylorna] She will attempt to defend herself, and maybe slip an attack in edgewise if given the opportunity. Hopefully with the physical battle taken care of, the others will join her in the mental battle. Though she can't say anything, she must maintain her concentration. Sweat beads on the strained forehead of the young apprentice. -Sean
[Jorg] Jorg straightens up in surprise, then calmly goes about cleaning his blade on the hide of the ulsoghir.

[Ryzar]
Though the bull is down, Ryzar remains combat ready -- scanning the
surrounding area, in the growing dimness.
"That Kolderspawned Beast is somewhere near!" Ryzar hisses, scanning
the darkened treeline, where the Ulsoghir first appeared, "It is watching
us. I am sure of it! By the Eternal Flame, if only I could tell from
which direction this mental attack comes from!"
Ryzar continues to scan around, looking for any sign of movement, or
something that is "out of place".
[Duplar] As soon as Duplar realises what is happening he will lend Reylorna such support as he can. This will be limited, as he is not that hot at mental combat, but what he will also try to do is track back to find where the attacking beast is. Locating things is something he does much better at.
[Dharak] He grits his teeth against the mental onslaught of the creature. *You need more of a boost than I can offer, sister* he mindspeaks to Reylorna. "Big man," he says to Jorg through his taut lips. "You, Jaldaric, and Kylar should keep an eye on the woods. The shaggy monster is already here in mind attacking Reylorna, and might not be far away in body." He turns a blazing ebon stare upon Verthes. "Unless you want to end up like your friends, you'd best lend us your mind, mageguard." >[Jorg] > >Jorg straightens up in surprise, then calmly goes about cleaning his blade >on the hide of the ulsoghir. >"Was that it?" he asks. > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: kalyr-error@phoenyx.net [mailto:kalyr-error@phoenyx.net]On Behalf >> Of Tim Hall >> Sent: Friday, November 12, 1999 12:29 PM >> To: kalyr@phoenyx.net >> Subject: Kalyr - 35.3 : Ulsoghir Attack >> >> >> This time Jorg and Ryzar both have greater success, and both succeed >> in injuring the beast.

[Jaldaric] "No," calls Jal, "I'm OK!" He stands up and casts around for his sword, but, failing to spot it in the confusion, draws his parrying dagger. No use at all against the grazer, but if the real enemy shows up it'll be better than nothing.
