♫ text; cw mentions of character death

[ghostlocked]

hey hadriel. two things.

thing one is that im the mystery guy that got attacked by the uh weird tentacle creatures those other guys mentioned. keith and steak ig?
i managed to learn a lil abt them before they fuckin killed me. o lmao thats one thing i learned. theyre strong as hell. keep ur distance if u run into any.
i fight scary monsters for a living back home. the fact that they managed to take me out is saying something.
anyway i have a spell that can read minds. it doesnt work on animals and shit. just intelligent creatures. it worked on them.
what i got was confusing af but the gist is that they were scoping out the city. theyre not happy that were here and they see us as a threat. thats why they killed me. i think they were trying to stay hidden but theyre shit at camouflage.
whats weird is that i didnt get linear thoughts so much as. idk. how they were feeling?
and that shit was all over the fuckin map. like they were flippin thru emotion channels. it was weird.
idk what to make of it but it didnt seem natural. maybe the door was influencing them or smth. not sure.
o and i got a shitty pic.

[He attaches said shitty pic. Its eyes are glowing blue.]

i know it sucks but two secs after i snapped this that fucker was goring me with its gnarly ass beak so it was the best i could do.
theyre big fuck off shellfish. whats the one with the spiral shell that zips around backwards? its that.
theyre fast and those shells are thick af so theyre tough to damage. my spells didnt do much against em.
be careful. judging by what i got from the mindreading i have a feeling theyre not done w. us.

anyway. thing two.
apparently i scared some ppl. sorry.
yes i died. it sucked. more important im fine now. ty hope.
o i cant do magic atm tho. my focus didnt come back to life w. me. rip guitar pick.
if anyone wants magic lessons im still offering but ill be out of commission for a couple weeks prob. making a new one is gonna fuckin blow.
but there. thats all my updates.
seriously watch out for the fuckin punk ass zippy upside down ocean snail things.

ok so when you say
magic didnt do much
what kinda thing were you using
do they need the shells to live because if they come the fuck back here theyre gonna meet my good friend dupree and hes gonna get shellfish for lunch baybee

uh it was two chromatic orbs a phantasmal force and a sword burst.
first orb missed and the second bounced off the shell. acid and ice respectively.
idk if phantasmal force did anything. my attention was on the other two and then the one grabbed me.
sword burst hurt it. p sure the diff is that i got a clean shot at its body inside the shell.
if i could do it over again my first choice would be blight. brute force against the shells isnt gonna get u anywhere.

damn phantasmal force was gonna be first on my list
i have phantasmal killer tho that might do the trick
yknow what im just gonna keep disintegrate loaded up and call that shit a day
also bigbys hand and resilient sphere
just get those guys and just. out
yeet

[ghostlocked]

if u run into one lmk how phantasmal killer goes.
that was one of my favs but i dropped it since i dont do field work too often anymore.
tho maybe i should pick it back up if its any good against these things.
disintegrate should do the trick tho.
but itd be more fun to fuckin teleport them into the stratosphere and then just watch em drop. lol.

[pocketspa]

yeah i found it was a great way to get people off my ass
but everythings afraid of something right
best part about that spell i dont have to think of something to make
it just goes
but oh man yeah that'd be great
i do have levitate but i dunno if thatd get em high enough fast enough

[ghostlocked]

tbh they might be able to levitate already.
idk how but they moved like lil hovercrafts.
they were clearly using their tentacles to maneuver themselves around but idt their shells were dragging.

[pocketspa]

oh shit
well thats interesting
wonder how the fuck they're doing that
ok then that ones out
you know what
do you think hideous laughter would work
im just gonna stick to the psych ones
gotta have a brain in there

[ghostlocked]

nfi.
hideous laughter would prob work. maybe.
idk.
they seem intelligent so the psych shit should theoretically work.
the one i used phantasmal force on didnt attack me again at least. thats a good sign.

[pocketspa]

ok cool cool cool
well see how that shakes out
if you have any students that need practice time hmu ;)
