We encountered a vast field where the air hung tepid but sleepy, the droning atmosphere foreboding wary and unease.
Gigantic flowers whose fallow petals fetched a dark core marred by gray spikes, their toasted smell titillating my psyche. Thick briers shaped their body, their auburn limbs, protracted, twisted branches fluttering on a voiceless ditty—This place had me fooled!—
Being the njòmbòs I sought about, what would I receive from their top beast?

Great, great, great!
Telepathy, paralytic spores!
Great stuff from a great monster! "Baby, be careful, he can—" I said when one of these mofos jerked their "head" towards us, shrouding us with orange spores…
___________________________________________________________________________________________
You are paralyzed! You cannot move!

… as I found the squishy ground a moment later, incapacitated.
Staring at the crystallized ceiling, I pondered my next move among the ovoid leaves. Protect myself!

OK, let's do this…
I tried to will myself back up, but damn am I so heavy!
Lifting yourself with your mind isn't easy! However…
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Due to your healing, your paralysis weakened!
__________________________________________________________________________________________|
… my paralysis loosened a bit, so healing myself had an effect!
To make matters worse, another sùmà slid towards me, while his kin scuttled out of its way.
I was almost vertical when this dumbfu*k flailed then slapped its arms across my head, stunning my sight.
Deprived of speech, my mind screeched, as if my face was pricked by countless needles while my will roasted under the hottest sun.
Suddenly, my surroundings became blurry.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Due to Illusion Resistance, you are immune to any illusion below a certain level! |__________________________________________________________________________________________|
Hell yeah!
In your face, motherfu*kers!
My sight normalized itself as my restraints slackened with grace.
Suddenly the sùmà glanced at his companions, shuddering an expression of fearful surprise.
A few confused noises went by when they cleared the place, setting me free in the process.

"What … the fu*k?" said Dibìé.
I raised an eyebrow. "My immunity to a certain level of illusion made them skedaddle, I guess, hee-hee-hee…"
Dibìé snorted. "Oh really? As expected of you mùkèlako…"
"Yeah…"
