*When Maelstrom attempts to bend reality around Toby, it seems as though nothing bent can enter a three foot area that surrounds him*
Toby: *Slips on two more rings, and wraps Maelstrom up in as tight of a bearhug as I can muster*

*Just before he goes to strike, Martyn jumps in and drains Maelstrom's life energy until he passes out*
Martyn: That won't work next time.
Rythian: Thank you.
