How very anticlimactic. He had only just forced the creature to cease and now it already collapsed, its paralysed muscles losing their strength and flopping idly within the water. Bubbles formed in front of Dyn's mouth as he mimicked a snort and looked around himself. The 'detachment' that had wandered into the clutches of the mini-kraken was looking rough around the edges, with the exception of the octopodes that had arrived via druidic magic. Now, in most cases Dyn would not have cared much. They were serviceable and Jill was not among their numbers. But while he most certainly [i]could[/i] press on, he felt his power had increased. And to best facilitate that, a brief or perhaps even slightly longer respite would be in order.

Oh, and his daughter was among those who had been on the receiving end of the beatdown. That was a matter he would also have to consider.

He swam to the side of the de jure captain and poked at the lifeless corpse of the creature his magic had held in place just a moment ago. The touch of [i]Tradewind[/i] didn't bring up any surprises, so all would be good for now. "Dead it is. Threat is dealt with", he declared and took a look further down the corridor. With nothing visibly crawling, swimming, floating or otherwise approaching them, he turned back around and addressed everyone of the group. "Now, we shall take a moment to recuperate. An exhausted pawn is a useless pawn", he made his call and began making his way back to the room of treasure they had passed a while ago.

As he was passing Adrevz, the merfolk daughter of his took to swimming on his side for a moment and they exchanged a few words. She wanted someone to take a more thorough look at her new bracelet as she had chosen to use it. Dyn himself would have done the deed in a heartbeat if he had the tools for it. After all, there would be no better way of knowing for sure what it was than doing so. But lacking the pearl, that would fall upon the other spellcaster with said ability. And that would leave him with more time to scribe some of the new spells into his spellbook. "Jill, could you spare a moment? This item might need a more thorough look", he requested.
