Jaheira - Immobilizes Slime

Jaheira began a mumbling chant, and both Abdel and Xan backed off quickly at the sound of it. The pool of slime still advancing on Abdel formed a thick tentacle and drew it back as if to strike. Abdel held up his fists, still not sure how to defend himself against this thing, and then Jaheira stopped speaking, and the slime stopped moving at the same time.

“They are plants,” she said. “I thought they smelled like plants.”

“What did you do?” Abdel asked her.

“By Mielikki’s grace,” she said, “they won’t be able to move for a few minutes.”

Abdel bent and retrieved his sword, having to pull hard to free it from the sticky grip of the inert substance.

“Khalid,” Jaheira said, “where’s Khalid?”
