"Well, people have survived lightning strikes without magic before. But you look pretty unharmed, so magic seems the most likely answer."
Kalamos' computer dings and he returns his attention to it, typing furiously.
Smoke Mirrors:
You attempt to use your own inner necromantic energy to take control of the corn monster. Unfortunately, there's way more corn than there is you, and you find yourself pouring your energy into a much deeper vessel, metaphorically speaking, than you expected. For a moment you worry you might have made it slightly stronger, but once you've pulled yourself back together you think you got all your energy back – but, unfortunately, the corn monster definitely knows where you are now. You hear it charging toward you from very far away; it's definitely not the source of that groaning noise, either – which has since stopped.
OceanSoul:
You woke up suddenly, at some point in the recent past relative to this post! You see a troll! The troll is definitely not drooling, so that's a plus, you guess? Maybe he just has better manners than that, though.
blueturtle1134:
As you begin nosing the path the troll took, you find that it takes you closer to the rustling noise. Unfortunately, you quickly determine that this rustling noise is an irritated-looking giant squirrel, much larger than the one you fought previously. It looks confused and perhaps like it has a slight headache, and stumbles along as if it can't quite remember what it was doing and is vexed about this. It looks at you, foggily, and starts to growl as it contemplates taking out its frustration on you.
Jilladilla:
Readying a wrench just in case, you throw the car into reverse, and finds that it slides back off the mound of corn you'd immured yourself in quite handily. You zoom backward about four yards, which is enough to get yourself free to try a new direction. Suddenly, you hear the corn monster roar from somewhere distant as it begins charging – but, judging by the sound of the tremendous thundering footsteps, not quite at you. Is there someone else here?
Kalamos finishes typing and turns back to Luatyr.
"Sorry, just trying to keep track of the anomalies. It makes that sound when there's new movement or some other significant event... we haven't had much luck working on them lately, though. Anyway, you were saying?"
