For a moment, there is a standstill.
Geshemblos stares into Eleazar's soul, coiling around the obelisk just a bit tighter. Neither side wants to attack first.
Then Burt comes along, and right behind him is Velklin with
Ornos on one hand and a charged spell on the other.

ENEMY TURN
...
While the fight was raging, Lemmy was trying to reach the obelisk by some other way. Maybe he could break the wall? The ice seemed pretty solid, but it was worth a try.
Lemmy tries breaking the ice to reach the obelisk: 17 And it works, unbelievably. The wall crumbles with a powerful kick, opening up the way for the obelisk. Why didn't he thought of this before?
Though he soon wishes he hadn't.
Resist the telekinetic blast: 1What greets him is the parasite god himself. Lemmy notices that
Geshemblos doesn't have an appreciative look on his face. The resulting telekinetic blast sends him right back through the broken wall and head first into the next. A loud crackling is heard, and he is in the dungeon no more.

BATTLE OVER
Now, it just you and
Geshemblos. It seems unwilling to let the obelisk go, and you can't activate the skink god with it coiled around it.
You have some "convincing" to do.
"I- I died. It was a darkness like unto oblivion-" Lemmy had died. His neck was broken in the high speed collision down there at the dungeon. It was his first time dying. And oh man, was it scary.
Just when he swas starting to freak out. He was shushed by someone whisper yelling. "Be quiet. I am trying to hear something out."
"What are you-"
"There is something on the ship."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, it giggles sometimes. It's really faint. We probably didn't hear it before because of how quiet it is. I heard it when I was checking the tractor beam. Just listen."
And here it was. A faint, distant giggling, coming from the depths of the ship. The two looked at eachother, before moving to investigate. The giggles brought them to the bathroom... fountain thingie. They heard the giggling in the room again. Coming from the weird statue that stands in the middle of the water bowl of the fountain.
Very cautiously, Su Lin touches the statue. Nothing happens. It doesn't springs into the air and melts into hot magma. It doesn't laughs like a maniac and makes a 4th wall breaking joke. It is just a statue. That giggles every once in a while. By some unknown mechanism.
No plot relevancy here, just an Easter Egg.
