[Unfortunately, a 15 is not high enough to actually pingpong him up and down once he breaks free. Cid does manage to slam him into the ceiling, but as soon as the hatch is opens the shadows can't quite contain him as he howls, the purple glow in his eyes getting brighter. Despite the heavy hits he's taken, it still doesn't seem like enough to slow him down, any destruction to his body ignored. He shrieks, the sound reverberating through the room as a sonic blast, and Jing Yuan (11), Khun (15), Urianger (12), and Cid (15) get caught in it, though Leo (7) manages to stay far enough away to not get caught in it. He tries to lunge for Jing Yuan for another attack with his claws but misses (6), though him getting even more frenzied isn't the only thing that happens once the hatch is open.
The moon stone is now fully exposed, so they can see it. It looks like a normal rock, glowing aside, smooth on one side and jagged on another like it's been broken off of something larger, about the size of a human skull. The corrupted moon magic coming off of it is even stronger with the hatch, a wooden sheet lined with metal, blocking it, which means the anxiety and dread in the air gets worse, and the magic feels like acid eating away at your skin. Instinctively, you know that remaining exposed to this corruption may damage your very soul and you will no longer be the person you thought you were.
You have some, but not much, time before that happens, but Philidor is still a threat and it may take more than one of you to properly cleanse the rock. Make your decisions and your actions quickly.]
