[Barnaby doesn't have a chance to answer Rosaria's question. His head snaps over to watch the shifting roots as they begin to move, and for a moment, he's transfixed, waiting for this latest monster to attack. What he doesn't expect is an assault on the mind: the multitude of voices and the agony they convey is unlike anything Barnaby's ever experienced via Communion before, and he desperately wants to push away the connection, but to no avail. He tries to ignore it, to look at what he's facing to make a plan of attack, and it's then that he notices the skull. Remains, perhaps, of the one they were looking for.]
I think the Shard we're after is in there. [Barnaby says grimly.] I'll use my power to get to it.
[Hopefully Rosaria agrees with the plan and can cover him, because he doesn't want to waste any time while those horrifying voices persist. The pink glow of his suit increases as he activates his NEXT power, and he springs into action. Moving faster than the ordinary human eye can follow, he darts at the creature, attempting to snatch at the skull before it has a chance to react.]
