Even as the statue lashed out with a psychic attack that felt like someone had taken a maul to His mind, SHOOGBIMBHALD maintained the act. He refused to show any sign of feeling pain for even a moment. Even as His nose began to bleed. Even as the Monitors cried out in warning. Even as the Old Keeper mocked His weakness. But while SHOOGBIMBHALD stoically weathered the barrage on the outside, Leo was panicking on the inside. He had miscalculated just how much power the Mother of Pearl had left in her. And he had done so to disastrous effect. He stood no chance against her at his current level of power. But he couldn't just back down after giving the ultimatum he had just given. The kuo-toa were watching and he couldn't look weak in front of them.

Reinforcing His mind against further assault, SHOOGBIMBHALD looked to the Monitors then. [b]"She's made her decision. I'm done here. Close the doors."[/b] He ordered before turning and walking away.

Leo takes the Dodge action and moves 30 feet away from the Mother of Pearl.
