Astiroth was thinning the heard of the orcs when he noticed everyone having a difficult time. One general was hit with an arrow. Whe there it was a lucky shot of skill didn't care so long as it hit its target. Jason was trying to help a small family evacuate from a house when he could sense a massive amount of power permeate the air around. He turned around to notice what had caused such power. He watched has the draining of life was fed into a gemore and then amplified the power of Svens sword. Astiroth was not ready for the attack to follow. He readied his blade in an attempt to negate some of the massive power that came his way. It wasn't enough. His sword was able to negate the proper amount to keep the Shockwave from killing him but he was still sent crashing into the house he had just helped evacuate. He had started to get up but was struggling for a bit.

Masrith was getting testy with Sven. He stopped his field work and secured his equipment when he saw what Sven was doing. He then stood up to look at the aftermath. "That was reckless and careless Sven. Telling me to observe while you produce a one shot ability. Certainly that was proper." He lifted his case off of the ground. "I assume we will be leaving." Masrith postured himself. The airony around him began to vibrate and the ground began to crack. A horrible screechiNguyen noise followed. A tear in what seemed like the air began to form until it ripped open revealing a massive portal. He then began to communicate with Sven and Tysetaz. [color=turquoise]Hurry up. I'm growing bored of this place. I have made all the observations needed. Tysetaz, if possible, secure that lizard creature. You know what I can do with that. After all, Sven killed what was left as material for test subjects.[/color]

Masrith looked at the injured party. "I suppose I could always take one of you." He stated aloud. He began to approach Leila while she lay on the ground. "I have never performed experiments on a human female. I'm sure you will do nicley." With a wave of his hand, he ripped her sword from her hand. His muscle mass began to grow. Masrith grunted in pain for a little. He lifted his hand which caused the weakened Leila to slowly float up and fly toward Masrith as he caught her by the throat. He then threw her over his shoulder like a sack. He began to slowly walk back to the portal. However, with his focus on the rather large portal and on his physical augmentation. He didn't have much focus on his defense. Believing Leila to be out of the fight and too weak, this presented her with an opportunity. While she may not have her sword, she was well within the postion to elbow Masrith in the back of his head which would certainly stun the Illithid and make him drop her and because he walked slow, she would still be a relatively close distance to her group.
