The abomination did not even flinch at the sound of Farren's gunshot and simply remained in place, unconcerned by the quicksilver bullet that whistled through the air, missed it and vanished into the darkness. Right next to it and Ophelia Gerlinde immediately sprang into action as well, twirling her threaded cane in her hand at the same time as she changed it into its whip-form, only to immediately lash out in a wide, sweeping swing from right to left... that also missed the creature. Gerlinde swiftly followed up with another blind swipe, this time from left to right, toward the back of it, only to halt the swing an instant before it would have made contact. Finally she lashed vertically with the wire-connected blade-segments right in front of Ophelia, aiming at whatever had her pinned to the wall... and again she missed. To Ophelia, would seem as though she was missing on purpose.
Torquil started running toward Ophelia with Fulmen held at the ready, but it would take a moment for him to make it there.

During the time the others tried in vain to save their pinned companion, Arrayah kept repeating the same sentence over and over again, chanting the same few words in Pallid's language seemingly to itself, only to halt its chanting when Ophelia spoke its name. It seemed to pause for a moment, and the relatively human right side of its face twisted into a toothy, joyless perversion of a smile.
When its mouth moved again, it carefully uttered: “O-phe-li-a.”
While the monster resumed its chanting, the two of its front-hands that were not currently holding the sword still embedded in Ophelia's torso reached up and went to seize Ophelia's arms; the thin secondary right arm going for Ophelia's left, and its muscular clawed one her right, moving to pin her wrists to the wall as well.
