<Snipped quote by Nimda>

*The creature bats your hand out of whack while you make the first rune; its other hand shoots a thin, concentrated beam of destructive energy at your chest; looks for the rune causing the wall*
*The device clatters to the ground, unattended*
[/quote]

*A protection rune blocks its beam*
...
*With my other hand, draws a series of runes in the air that obscure the vision of everyone in the room*
