[WARNING! You’ve been caught in an [Paralyzing Glare]. Your Wisdom is not high enough to repel it.]
[ALERT! Regeneration is working to counteract the paralysis.]
Seconds ticked by while Sam was frozen in place, with Regeneration failing to break the paralysis placed upon the hero. Thankfully, the hooded figure eventually chose to lower his gaze, and the spell that had locked Sam’s limbs broke.
Sam pressed the left node on his belt and summoned Gram to his hand. At the same time, he activated the Shades feature of the Mask of the Argonaut as added protection against ocular abilities. Despite this obvious provocation from him, the hooded figure made no move to attack Sam. Instead, a man’s voice could be heard from deep within the hood, although he spoke in a language Sam didn’t understand.
[He is speaking in an ancient Greek dialect that hasn’t been spoken in more than two thousand years.]
