[Well, the solid part of it goes just one way. Any grappling at the hand will just meet empty air. Be careful so you don't punch Almaz by mistake, Badger. If Almaz is digging his feet into the ground he'll notice that it actually does slow the dragging down though, but eventually you will be right by the wall anyway. In fact for anyone else it'll look like the hand just dragged Almaz straight into the wall.]
[And with that happening the noise will die away and the temperature will return to normal. The only sign remaining of what just happened being the bloody handprints on the wall.]
