Selenya follows K’Zan, likewise occasionally casting wary glances around, as well as checking if Canderous keeps up with them.

Spec keeps himself from the others attempting to remain out of their radius of noise. His cloak wrapped around himself, he sweeps the caverns trying to keep sight of anything through his infravision, always keeping as quiet as possible.

<<To: Selenya, K'Zan, and Spec>>
Speaking calmly to Selenya, Canderous approaches her, "Selenya. There is something on you. When I say now I'm going to attempt to grab it." Not giving her much time to react to what he said, he says in a voice just above a whisper "Now!" And grabs at her head, locking his massive fingers tightly around her slender neck and squeezing hard.

"Wha..." Selenya started to speak, beginning to turn in Canderous' direction...
...When Canderous suddenly grabbed at her head, locking his massive fingers tightly around her slender neck and squeezing hard.
Taken by surprise and unable to either call for help or invoke her magic, Selenya instinctively attempts to stub back at Canderous with the butt of her quarterstaff; though as she does it, Selenya realizes that she just won't be able to muster enough strength to make Canderous release his hold...

<< To: Selenya, K'Zan, and Spec >>
Canderous is closer than Selenya expected, and her ineffectual strikes don't seem to have the power to damage him through his armor. Selenya begins to feel weak, but manages to let out a gasp of sound before being forced to her knees.
K'Zan and Spec, taking up the front, do not hear Selenya's cry past the strong winds permeating the cavern.

<< To: Canderous >>
Canderous tightens his grip on the lizard, which slithers and gropes, trying to escape his grasp. Wrapping its long claws around Selenya's neck, it begins to claw its way through her soft flesh, tearing its way towards the bone.

Speaking louder for the others to hear. "I need your help here!" Releasing one hand, he grabs his dagger from his wrist sheath. If the others didn't help, he would have to risk hurting her to save her.

Spec barely hears a voice over the howling winds as they drown out the details of the words. He turns around to see Canderous' hand wrapped around Selenya's throat and a dagger in the other. Cloak still wrapped around him, his hands briefly move about beneath it. His face retaining its blank visage the entire time and his eyes locked on the scene. He slowly begins to move towards them, his cloak remaining wrapped around him...eyes locked.

With her strength waning quickly, Selenya loses grip on her staff, letting it fall to the cavern’s floor. In desperate attempt to fight for her life, she reaches for Canderous’ hand, but by then, the lack of air leaves her with almost no strength, and all her efforts of making Canderous release his hold are doomed to fail…

Spec turns around, and coolly moves towards the pair behind him, watching Canderous squeeze the life out of Selenya. She falls to her knees, unconscious, and possibly on the verge of having her neck snapped in two.

<<To: Canderous>>
The lizard engulfs Selenya's throat with its frighteningly large mouth, forcing copious amounts of blood to explode from her jugular and causing her to fall to her knees, oddly silent. The creature occasionally goes limp under Canderous' grip, but continues to hold onto the elf's neck with a bulldog's persistence.

Hearing Canderous' cry for help, K'Zan turns - only to see him apparently throttling Selenya with all his strength.
He follows Spec back to the others, but with a sudden pause in his step. He keeps back by a couple of paces, and scans the shadows for anything out of the ordinary.
He mutters softly to himself. 'There is a trickery about this; some illithid stench.'
Then he calls out to Canderous:
'Canderous! Why are you attacking Selenya? What are you doing?'

Looking at Spec and K'Zan like they had lost their minds. "I'm the one whos partially blind here and you're telling me that you don't see this creature lodging itself in her neck?! Someone get over here and..." Listening to what he had just said about himself, and remembering earlier talks of creatures who can cause hallucinations, he drops his dagger and releases Selenya's neck, putting her down slowly.
"In the name of all things Holy... did I just kll this woman?!" He quickly looks through what was left of Kaygor's pack and tried to discern one bottle from another, trying to find a potion. His mind was full of chaos. What in the world could cause this insanity?

<<To: Canderous>>
Canderous releases his hold on the lizard's body, allowing Selenya's body to drop away from him. The creature continues to bite away at her neck, tearing open a small hole. It dives headfirst into the wound, burrowing its way into her body. Oddly enough, the wound begins to close as soon as it disappears.

Selenya's body falls to the ground in a heap. Her neck is a large purple bruise, swollen from pressure. She does not appear to be breathing.
