"My name is Jerick" says tall and powerfuly built man "I am a warrior, who fights against evil monsters and demons, whatever I can find them. I gave aways my life... and perheps my very soul to be able to defend my people, all the people! And believe me, I am not going to stand aside now!"
Saying no more, Jerick turned around, studying now changed situation at the arena. When Jerick turned to wormlike creatures, his greatsword let out another flash of light.
"Yes, I know" says Jerick, as cruel and mercyless smile appeared upon his face.
After saying so, Jerick began to move toward wormlike creatures, with his greatsword ready for combat...

The stranger looks shocked at the creatures entering the arena. Looking from one side to the other he seems very unsure what to do.
"Do ya think I could get one of those melons now?"

You would give both your life and your soul in the defense of good, eh? says the Dark Knight, his aura smiling Yes, I shall accept those. Thank you.
Jerick feels a sharp pain in his head, riveting down the length of his body and putting him into shock. It feels as if a harpoon had been rammed into his head and ripped out. The warrior remains on his feet, battered from a blow that would've knocked a lesser man unconscious. Suddenly, he feels another presence in his mind... a voice speaking to him in a tongue that he could not possibly comprehend, but does.
You could attempt to kill us, but that would end nothing but only foster more hatred. To kill the knight and win your freedom, stand down your blade and heed our will...

Turning to the stranger, the Melon Merchant says...
Do you have 2 cp? If not then I must refuse to give you a melon, though I wish to share my marvelous melons with all, they are not free for I must make a living.
--------- OOC ----------
I know we are not supposed to do this but I must make an announcement concerning the melons. Eldritch has given me leave to determine the effects of consuming a melon, so if you purchase a melon and consume it do not take it upon yourself to say what it does, leave that to me.

The stranger pulls out a couple of small copper pieces marked with a man's face on one side and a building on the other. "Will these do?"

That will indeed be enough to purchase a marvelous melon. I hope you enjoy the melon.
The Melon Merchant takes the cp and places them in a small leather pouch bound to his waist by a leather cord. He then hands the melon over to the stranger and begins to walk back to his cart.
I really hope that the people who consume my melons mention when they consume a melon and don't mention the effects themselves.

(The stranger takes the hint ;D)
Breaking open the melon, the stranger leans against the wall and eats the sweet tasting fruit while warily watching the fun and games in the arena.

Upon eating the melon the Stranger feels his strength return to him at a rapid pace, this does not stop even once he feels as good as new, new energy continues to flow into him.
(The stranger has an overall positive boost of 10% to his strength, endurance, speed and recovery rate. This however only lasts for a short time)
Orange text indicates the effects of the melon.

"Get outta my mind, you fiend!" roard Jerick, trying to regain control over his body, banishing alien presence within his mind.
By all was in vain. Fighting mental battle was one of Jerick's most vulnerable points, where niether his body, nor all years of training will be able to help him. Jerick instantly realize, that this was the battle which he had no hope of wining.
"O'Kir!" shouted Jerick with the last remnants of his strength "Take control over me, old friend!"

Jerick's greatsword flashed one more time, aknowledging his readiness to fulfil his friend's will, even though it doesn't liked what it was about to do, it perfectly understood the necessarity of its actions...
And instantly the alien presecne within Jerick mind felt as another will came the battle over control of Jerick's body, the will much stronger then that of Jerick himself...

GROOVY! Ok, who's next? Looking at the wigged out worm thingies, the stranger pulls the cord to his "sword" with his teeth, causing it to roar loudly. Feeling great, he charges forward.

Fiend? Not fiends, but greater. We are those who give cause for the githyanki to tremble at our psionic might. Do not seek to oppose us. We can end this here and now, without a fight. Now, are you with us? speaks the presence.
As the stranger runs towards the large monsters, a whizz flies through the air as the bue creatures loose their weapons. By means of some strange sling, they loose projectiles seeming like huge, 3-armed blades, and with unnerving accuracy, fly into the fray. Four blades hit the stranger directly in the back, knocking him to the ground and slaying him instantly. Another three dig into Mako's side, causing him to loosen his grip on his axe and double over from the force, nearly loosing his footing. Five of the monsters begin to reload their weapons again, but the other two pull out long polearms with double crescent heads attached to each side.

"The words 'githyanki' and 'psionic' are not known to me, but whatever your might is, you will not be able to defeat me within this mind. As long as Lord Jerick willingly surrenders control over his body to me, his will adds to mine in this battle. I already fully control this body..." Jerick's body once again assumed combat stance, which it lost under the force of mental attack "...So, do not attemt to take this control from me, as all your attempts will be useless."
Jerick's body resumed its movement toward two wormlike creatures; however, careful viewer would easily be able to realize, that now Jerick's body moves with less speed, then it did while Jerick himself was in control. It is clear, that Jerick's body is less fearsome opponent now, then it was while Jerick himself was in control of it.

What a waste of a good melon...
The Melon Merchant shakes his head in disappointment.
Hmmm, that poor, unfortunate man never even got a chance to test his new abilities. Aha! What a spectacular idea.... It never hurts to show some kindness occasionally.
With that thought in mind the Melon Merchant grabs another melon and sets it in front of the resurrection rings with a note attached that says, "Here's another melon since the last one went to waste. Enjoy."
