Before Leila could react, someone rushed past the group and summoned a wall of blue flames to separate them from the portal. It was one of Sven's other generals, the one with a skeleton-looking face. He seemed to be a sorcerer of some sort, judging from the staff he was carrying. They wanted to retreat, it seemed. This may be an advantageous thing to them. Even though Leila really wished she could end their threat right here and now, but she knew they were quite outclassed by them, especially with Sven helping. So it would be best for them if they didn't engage all out against them.

The wall seemed to be costumized so that it would allow their side to pass, as another one, this time a female judging by her obvious curves, passed through as it was just thin air.

They all slowly moved backwards as they looked at them. The illithid summoned a staff, with an eerie giant eye perched on top of it. He then reverted his muscle mass form before entering the portal, and as he did, horrible images and voices suddenly entered Leila's mind. He gave her a message, a message of threat on what would happen to her if she dared to interfere any further. Then, images of his horrific experiments appeared, showing all the victims he had caught. Leila flinched as she lost her balance due to the horrors that she was seeing, making her kneel on the ground. Her eyes widened as wide as they could get.

When the psionic attack ended, Leila was still kneeling, drenched with sweat.

She had to stop it. She had to. All those people... they didn't deserve what he did to them.

Instead of scaring her off to abandoning her quest, the attack instead strengthened her resolve. Her heart of justice now flared with determination, as she had gotten full realization on just how evil and vile the enemy she was fighting against.

"I-I believe we should regroup first," she answered Tony's question as she rose up, her knees still shaking lightly.
