Taking advantage of the situation, Tech Monkey decides to do some looting. First, he picks up a blue metal star, with a brilliant ruby in the centre.
"That's a Traveller's Friend. It...moves you. To wherever you're looking, as far as your eye can see. Just touch the ruby and focus, and it will take you where you want to go. Just make sure you can see where you're going.", the woman says. [ Teleport to anywhere the naked eye can see Teleporting into physical objects results in instant death. ]
Next, Tech picks up a wristband, embossed with gold patterns. "That...is less useful, I'm afraid. The Life Band does the opposite of what you'd think it would, it drains the energy from your body and launches it outward. [ drains one level of life from you, deals twice as much damage to opponent. ]
"Hope you're satisfied with those two, cause I think we have company."
Turning around, Tech sees 2 Rockmen enter the hut. The way out is blocked.
[ Tech currently fighting: 2 ]
Tactile Man attempts to draw the attention of another Rockman, and succeeds. A little too well, as two Rockmen as opposed to one approach. Utilising all of his finesse, Tactile positions himself so that when one of the approaching Rockmen hit him, he'd be able to instantly dodge and the blow would instead strike the prone Rockman. The ploy works, as a stoney uppercut misses Tactile and lands on the Rockman just getting up. The Rockman that got hit has its chest partly caved in, and a veritable torrent of blood is pouring out. The injured Rockman starts convulsing slightly, but still moves forward.
Tactile is now surrounded by the 3 Rockmen [ Currently fighting: 3 ]
Meanwhile, SOC senses opportunity to finish off his opponent, and tries to find a better angle with which to unleash his Death Tentacles ( Death-tacles? You can trademark it later ). The Rockman waves its nearly severed left arm, and your two tentacles both reach out and entrap it! The Rockman moves too slowly and inefficiently to shake the tentacles off, and you drain a very large dose of life out. To SOC's surprise, the entire thing collapses, starting from the limbs then spreading inwards, until even the chest crumbles. Beneath the rubble, you see mounds of flesh, necrotised and decayed from your power.

Theta faces a certain conundrum. The Rockman is frozen, yes, but his scourge is frozen inside the telekinetic entrapment forcefield along with it. The barrier will not budge, and Theta is not willing to let his forcefield down. Instead, he decides to acquire armament elsewhere. Reaching out to a nearby guard's mind, Theta asks for his weapon. However, due to the forceful suggestion, combined with some enhancement from the Necklace, something slightly different occurs. The guard, from Theta's psychic point of view, basically loses all of his sentience. Feeling into the guard's mind, Theta sees nothing there. Theta's will had completely overwritten this poor bastard's sapience.
[ Theta has gained a psychic-thrall! Add him to your updated inventory. ]
The guard, now basically a slave capable of reacting to Theta's commands as readily as his own body, stands behind the telekinetically glad wrapped Rockman, ready to stab it in the chest with a spear. Theta waits, but the force shield does not drop, not yet.
