\ and the rift closes. On a failed save, a creature takes 18 (4d8) cold damage\
\ from the rift plus 18 (4d8) psychic damage from the tentacle and has the [stunned](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Stunned)\
\ condition for 1 minute. On a successful save, a creature takes half as much\
\ damage only. A [stunned](/Rules/Source/conditions.md#Stunned) creature can\
\ repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect\
\ on itself on a success."
