Unable to escape fast enough to avoid the tendrils, Kyra ended up grappled by some sort of dark monster. She couldn't even reach for her blade as the creature started to constrict her, though not with enough force to hurt just enough to prevent her from easily moving. Kyra was about to shout for everyone to kill it when Parum tried to talk to the monster. Kyra had her doubts that this would even work but at the same time, she was not in a great position to fight if she tried to resist now. The fact the monster wasn't immediately crushing her to death at least told Kyra that there was a chance this fight could be avoided if they play their cards right. This creature was simple, desiring only hunger. Like an animal all it wanted was meat. And if meat was what it wanted, there was plenty of fresh meat for it to eat just down the hall. [color=pink]"If it's meat you want, there's plenty of meat just outside of this room. The men we killed won't fight back anymore, and we made sure to take off all their hard armor so you can start eating. You can even eat these eggs now. Delicious dragon eggs. That's not something you'll have ever again."[/color] Kyra desperately hoped that offering the corpses of Cyanwrath and his minions would satisfy the beast and not make it hunger to eat the adventurers. She didn't want to threaten the creature less it attack, but hopefully it would be smart enough to realize that if it does try to eat them, they will resist and do everything in their power to kill it. Even a beast could understand that it's easier to go after fresh carrion than fight prey.
