Jessica charges in, but the position in the doorway of the choker's room turns out to be already occupied by Tazmara. Marius gets straight to the choker and tries to hit him as he quickly rises up from the bed, but does not manage to pierce his tough leathery skin. The choker quickly throws out both rubbery arm-like tentackes straight at Marius' neck. The man is able to interpose his shield to block one of the tentacles, but the other hits and grabs him by the neck, crushing it for 11 damage. Marius finds himself unable to speak and barely able to breathe.
