>>5851966‘Piccolo I’m getting some pretty bad vibes off this thing. It’s not giving an actual answer and I think we might need to kick its ass now rather than letting it get another word in. Please tell me you’re seeing some red flags.’ you question telepathically.
‘Crimson. It hasn’t actually attempted to converse with the rest of us. Only you.’ Piccolo’s eyes close and his arms cross. ‘From what I can infer, it intends to send you away and attack or control the rest of us.’
That’s all you need. You stare down the form before you and… let out a pulse of energy with a Solar Flare enhanced with Light Magic to try and dispel any illusions that have been built up, letting everyone know, psychically, ‘We’re taking this thing down, it needs to be stopped immediately, so get some sunglasses on quick!’

The Solar Flare eases their discomfort, though they’re not quite quick enough to keep from being blinded. Piccolo and Basilea though take fighting stances, standing with you. The image of the humanoid form is gone, though there’s a crimson light deeper down, with several large crystal shards jutting out from the hallway. You launch forward, Piccolo and Basilea following after you, and try to get to the crimson light. Immediately, there are large chunks of crystal that appear in front of you to try and impede your progress, though Piccolo’s guess was spot on: instead of trying to hold them back, massive and very sharp shards jet out to try and take them down. Thankfully they can dodge easily, but the intent is there.
