== Arrival to Arhat's Tower ==
[Arhat's Tower, Workshop]<br>
Very little is recognizable from the workshop's original contents.  The walls are broken off at half their intended height and the area lies open to the elements.  The only obvious sign of the room's prior function, odd glowing stains marking the floor, are most likely the result of past experiments gone awry.  You also see a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting, an ethereal vela'tohr thicket, a blue iris, a majestic white snowy owl with a hooked black beak, a spotted storm-grey lynx with piercing blue eyes that is sitting, a small aqueous fissure, a white dog that is sitting, a lissome russet panther with rivulets of azure rippling through its fur that is sitting, an articulated maple necklace and a worn stone.<br>

This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy, oddly manifesting as a disorienting corridor.  There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved.  An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow.  Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly.  A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby.  The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light.  You also see the heraldic unit, a stone ring held in place by a golden haze and a golden hole formed in the space surrounding the area.<br>
Obvious exits: none.

<span style="color:green">look unit<br>
<span style="color:green">After careful observation of the heraldic unit, you are certain there are 100 armed soldiers that are currently arrayed in a tight defensive formation.  You come to the conclusion that these troops are very green, exhibiting few of the qualities of a successful army unit.  The soldiers are rested, appear to be in perfect fighting condition, and are fully supplied.  You notice the unit is composed of a pristine drake, an immaculate drake, and a Heraldic Lieutenant in command.

<span style="color:green">look hole<br>
<span style="color:green">Rent in the magical fabric sustaining the Null Prison during the raging battle in the skies, this golden hole slowly spreads as a multitude of tiny black flecks expand outward from its center.  The flecks move without clear direction, as if they are a swarm of small beings independently consuming the material holding this space together.

<span style="color:green">study hole<br>
<span style="color:green">You believe that Urrem'tier may be using it to force sorcerous corruption into this space.  You believe you can PRAY toward the hole to empower the Immortals to continue widening it.

Obvious exits: southwest.

Anuril searches around for a moment.

<span style="color:blue">You catch the faintest echo of a gossamer thread running below what passes for a floor in this strange space, and there is something...  maddenly familiar about it.  You feel a connection to its pattern, and are certain someone you are looking for is on the other end.

Saragos points at a gossamer thread below you snaking into the immediate vicinity.

Anuril taps a gossamer thread below you snaking into the immediate vicinity.

<span style="color:blue">You splay your hands across the floor, reaching for the thread, and attempt to follow it as it winds along.  You have a vague sense of the direction to follow!

Saragos kneels down a moment to touch the thread.  Jerking his head to stare into the distance, his eyes narrow and he stares ahead with purpose!

<span style="color:blue">You rush along, following the thread!  Ayrell is close!

<span style="color:blue">Ezerak rushes off with determined purpose, and after covering a short distance, vanishes without a trace!

<span style="color:blue">You feel yourself being pulled away...</span><br>
[Unknown, Ayrell's Cell]<br>
This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy that suspends your body with no sense of purchase, with no sense of direction.  The air is still and silent.  There is no sense of the passage of time in this place, and without any perception of space, you have lost all bearing on the fundamental concepts of existence.  You also see a seated and unconscious Ayrell calmly staring ahead.<br>
Obvious exits: none.

You exclaim, "Ayrell!"

Seated crosslegged, you see Ayrell sitting nearby!  A strange gossamer cord of pulsating light loops around her body and extends upward to the base of her neck.  She breathes slowly and steadily, and her unfocused eyes stare ahead blankly.  She is unresponsive, and you believe you could STUDY her to learn more.

You believe you could NUDGE Ayrell in an attempt to rouse her.

You gently nudge Ayrell, causing her to sway to the side.  She slowly returns to her seated position without response.  Her eyes do not register you, and her breathing does not change.  You believe that with more force, you could SHOVE her in an attempt to rouse her.

You say, "Wake up."

You desperately exclaim, "Wake up, love!"

You shove Ayrell, and her hand shoots out to arrest her fall!  She gently pushes herself back to her seated position.  Her eyes do not register you, and her breathing does not change, though you notice the gossamer thread flickers oddly in the process.  This is not working.  You may be able to PULL AYRELL in an attempt to disconnect the thread.

You gently pull at the gossamer thread at the base of Ayrell's neck, and with an unsettling crackle and squelch, manage to pull it out of her a fraction of an inch.  She shudders a bit, but continues staring straight ahead.  You believe you have to CUT AYRELL away from the thread.

You wince.

You desperately say, "Come on, now."

You search about your posessions and hastily find a blade.  In a delicate stroke, you use the blade to carefully slice at the gossamer thread at the base of Ayrell's neck.  You put the blade back, and watch for a response.

Her eyes widen for a moment, her mouth opening in a gasp, before her body collapses.

A golden haze surrounds Ayrell's body in a protective embrace.

Severed from the connection with the null prison, Ayrell now lies collapsed atop a golden haze.  She appears unconscious but breathing steadily.  She is unresponsive, and you believe you could STUDY her to learn more.

Freed of the strange connection that course through the gossamer thread, she is now surrounded by a golden haze that appears to be protecting and supporting her.  You believe you can PUSH her towards the exit and get her out of here!

You say, "Let's get you out of here."

You gently push at the unconscious Ayrell atop the golden haze.

The body of Ayrell moves with the force you exert, held aloft by the haze, though she rotates oddly and does not move in the direction you intended.

You believe that a PULL may move her out of here, towards safety, with the assistance of the golden haze.

You gently pull at the unconscious Ayrell, attempting to move her and the golden haze toward the rest of your party.

The golden haze resists, and Ayrell remains where she fell.  However, the force of your pull does cause her body to roll slightly.  You believe you may be able to RAISE Ayrell from the haze and carry her to safety.

You say, "I hope they've kept that hole open."

You gaze at a collapsed and unresponsive Ayrell atop a mysterious golden haze.

You gently raise the unconscious Ayrell atop the haze, lifting her into your arms.  The haze erupts with light, surrounding the two of you until it becomes a brilliant flash.

<span style="color:blue">You find yourself returned to your friends, and the unconscious form of Ayrell rushes along through the exit, leaving you standing alone.</span><br>

There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved.  An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow.  Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly.  A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby.  The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light.  You also see a large rock, the heraldic company, the heraldic unit, a silver fang, a silver fang, a silver fang, a large rock, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake that is sleeping, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake that is sleeping, a pristine drake that appears immobilized, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, a pristine drake that is sleeping, a pristine drake that is sleeping, a pristine drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, a silver fang, a golden tear formed in the space surrounding the area, a silver fang, a silver fang, a happily muddy white boar with a bright green damask scarf on it, a night-black monkey with bright red eyes and a stone ring held in place by a golden haze.<br>

Ezerak kneels down a moment to touch the thread.  Jerking his head to stare into the distance, his eyes narrow and he stares ahead with purpose!

You believe that if you TOUCH the thread you may be able to follow it.

You splay your hands across the floor, reaching for the thread, and attempt to follow it as it winds along.  You have a vague sense of the direction to follow!

Ezerak rushes off with determined purpose, and after covering a short distance, vanishes without a trace!

[Unknown, Navesi's Cell]<br>
This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy that suspends your body with no sense of purchase, with no sense of direction.  The air is still and silent.  There is no sense of the passage of time in this place, and without any perception of space, you have lost all bearing on the fundamental concepts of existence.You also see a seated and unconscious Navesi calmly staring ahead.<br>
Obvious exits: none.

You exclaim, "Navesi!"

You give a seated and unconscious Navesi calmly staring ahead a hug.  I'm quite sure that the Navesi appreciates the sentiment.

You frown.

You focus your magical senses on a seated and unconscious Navesi calmly staring ahead.<br>
You sense the strange and foreign energies coursing along the gossamer thread, connecting to Navesi and radiating throughout her body, spreading from the base of her neck.  Whatever these energies are, they are highlighting her nervous system!

You believe you could NUDGE Navesi in an attempt to rouse her.

You gently nudge Navesi, causing her to sway to the side.  She slowly returns to her seated position without response.  Her eyes do not register you, and her breathing does not change.  You believe that with more force, you could SHOVE her in an attempt to rouse her.

You shove Navesi, and her hand shoots out to arrest her fall!  She gently pushes herself back to her seated position.  Her eyes do not register you, and her breathing does not change, though you notice the gossamer thread flickers oddly in the process.  This is not working.  You may be able to PULL Navesi in an attempt to disconnect the thread.

You snarl.

You gently pull at the gossamer thread at the base of Navesi's neck, and with an unsettling crackle and squelch, manage to pull it out of her a fraction of an inch.  She shudders a bit, but continues staring straight ahead.  You believe you have to CUT Navesi away from the thread.

You focus your magical senses on a seated and unconscious Navesi calmly staring ahead.<br>
You sense the strange and foreign energies coursing along the gossamer thread, connecting to Navesi and radiating throughout her body, spreading from the base of her neck.  Whatever these energies are, they are highlighting her nervous system!

You search about your posessions and hastily find a blade.  In a delicate stroke, you use the blade to carefully slice at the gossamer thread at the base of Navesi's neck.  You put the blade back, and watch for a response.

Her eyes widen for a moment, her mouth opening in a gasp, before her body collapses.

A golden haze surrounds Navesi's body in a protective embrace.

Severed from the connection with the null prison, Navesi now lies collapsed atop a golden haze.  She appears unconscious but breathing steadily.  She is unresponsive, and you believe you could STUDY her to learn more.

Freed of the strange connection that course through the gossamer thread, she is now surrounded by a golden haze that appears to be protecting and supporting her.  You believe you can PUSH her towards the exit and get her out of here!

You say, "I'm getting you out of here."

You gently push at the unconscious Navesi atop the golden haze.

The body of Navesi moves with the force you exert, held aloft by the haze, though she rotates oddly and does not move in the direction you intended.

You believe that a PULL may move her out of here, towards safety, with the assistance of the golden haze.

You gently pull at the unconscious Navesi, attempting to move her and the golden haze toward the rest of your party.

The golden haze resists, and Navesi remains where she fell.  However, the force of your pull does cause her body to roll slightly.  You believe you may be able to RAISE Navesi from the haze and carry her to safety.

You gently raise the unconscious Navesi atop the haze, lifting her into your arms.  The haze erupts with light, surrounding the two of you until it becomes a brilliant flash.

<span style="color:blue">You find yourself returned to your friends, and the unconscious form of Navesi rushes along through the exit, leaving you standing alone.</span><br>

There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved.  An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow.  Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly.  A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby.  The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light.You also see an immaculate drake that appears stunned, a pristine drake, an immaculate drake, a cloud of silver-grey mist, a large rock, the heraldic company, the heraldic unit, a large rock, a large rock, a large rock, a silver fang, a silver fang, a silver fang, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a silver fang, a golden tear formed in the space surrounding the area, a silver fang, a silver fang, a happily muddy white boar with a bright green damask scarf on it, a night-black monkey with bright red eyes and a stone ring held in place by a golden haze.

[Unknown, Mazrian's Cell]<br>
This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy that suspends your body with no sense of purchase, with no sense of direction.  The air is still and silent.  There is no sense of the passage of time in this place, and without any perception of space, you have lost all bearing on the fundamental concepts of existence.  You also see a seated and unconscious Mazrian calmly staring ahead.<br>
Obvious exits: none.

You quietly say, "Mazrian."

Seated crosslegged, you see Mazrian sitting nearby!  A strange gossamer cord of pulsating light loops around his body and extends upward to the base of his neck.  he breathes slowly and steadily, and his unfocused eyes stare ahead blankly.  He is unresponsive, and you believe you could STUDY him to learn more.

You say in Ilithic, "Awaken, master."

You gently nudge Mazrian, causing him to sway to the side.  He slowly returns to his seated position without response.  His eyes do not register you, and his breathing does not change.  You believe that with more force, you could SHOVE him in an attempt to rouse him.

You frown.

You say in Ilithic, "Apologies."

You shove Mazrian, and his hand shoots out to arrest his fall!  He gently pushes herself back to his seated position.  His eyes do not register you, and his breathing does not change, though you notice the gossamer thread flickers oddly in the process.  This is not working.  You may be able to PULL Mazrian in an attempt to disconnect the thread.

You frown.

You gently pull at the gossamer thread at the base of Mazrian's neck, and with an unsettling crackle and squelch, manage to pull it out of him a fraction of an inch.  he shudders a bit, but continues staring straight ahead.  You believe you have to CUT Mazrian away from the thread.

You somberly say in Ilithic, "Power. Duty. Death."

You search about your posessions and hastily find a blade.  In a delicate stroke, you use the blade to carefully slice at the gossamer thread at the base of Mazrian's neck.  You put the blade back, and watch for a response.

His eyes widen for a moment, his mouth opening in a gasp, before his body collapses.

A golden haze surrounds Mazrian's body in a protective embrace.

Severed from the connection with the null prison, Mazrian now lies collapsed atop a golden haze.  He appears unconscious but breathing steadily.  He is unresponsive, and you believe you could STUDY him to learn more.

You nod.

You gently push at the unconscious Mazrian atop the golden haze.

The body of Mazrian moves with the force you exert, held aloft by the haze, though he rotates oddly and does not move in the direction you intended.

You believe that a PULL may move him out of here, towards safety, with the assistance of the golden haze.

You smirk.

You quietly say in Ilithic, "Recalcitrant old man."

You gently pull at the unconscious Mazrian, attempting to move him and the golden haze toward the rest of your party.

The golden haze resists, and Mazrian remains where he fell.  However, the force of your pull does cause him body to roll slightly.  You believe you may be able to RAISE Mazrian from the haze and carry him to safety.

You gently raise the unconscious Mazrian atop the haze, lifting him into your arms.  The haze erupts with light, surrounding the two of you until it becomes a brilliant flash.

<span style="color:blue">You find yourself returned to your friends, and the unconscious form of Mazrian rushes along through the exit, leaving you standing alone.</span> <br>

This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy, oddly manifesting as a disorienting corridor. There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved. An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow. Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly. A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby. The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light. You also see a large rock, the heraldic company, the heraldic unit, a silver fang, a silver fang, a silver fang, a large rock, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake that is sleeping, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake that is sleeping, a pristine drake that appears immobilized, a pristine drake which appears dead, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, a pristine drake that is sleeping, a pristine drake that is sleeping, a pristine drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, an immaculate drake that appears immobilized, a silver fang, a golden tear formed in the space surrounding the area, a silver fang, a silver fang, a happily muddy white boar with a bright green damask scarf on it, a night-black monkey with bright red eyes and a stone ring held in place by a golden haze.

You also see a gossamer thread below you snaking into the immediate vicinity.<br>
Obvious exits: southwest.

You catch the faintest echo of a gossamer thread running below what passes for a floor in this strange space, and there is something...  maddenly familiar about it.  You feel a connection to its pattern, and are certain someone you are looking for is on the other end.

You can't discern anything out of the ordinary about gossamer thread.  Perhaps focusing on it may reveal more?

You focus your magical senses on a gossamer thread below you snaking into the immediate vicinity.<br>
Composed of a strange and foreign magical energy, the thread snakes off into the immediate vicinity.

You put your iris in your treasureweave cylinder.

You are certain you should STUDY the thread.

You believe that if you TOUCH the thread you may be able to follow it.

You sigh.

Grin at yourself?  That's a good mental attitude, I guess.

<span style="color:blue">You splay your hands across the floor, reaching for the thread, and attempt to follow it as it winds along.  You have a vague sense of the direction to follow!

<span style="color:blue">You rush along, following the thread!  Miskton is close!

<span style="color:blue">Vaerek rushes off with determined purpose, and after covering a short distance, vanishes without a trace!

<span style="color:blue">You feel yourself being pulled away...</span> <br>
[Unknown, Miskton's Cell]<br>
This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy that suspends your body with no sense of purchase, with no sense of direction.  The air is still and silent.  There is no sense of the passage of time in this place, and without any perception of space, you have lost all bearing on the fundamental concepts of existence.  You also see a seated and unconscious Miskton calmly staring ahead.<br>
Obvious exits: none.

You exclaim, "Heyo!!"

You gently nudge Miskton, causing him to sway to the side.  He slowly returns to his seated position without response.  His eyes do not register you, and his breathing does not change.  You believe that with more force, you could SHOVE him in an attempt to rouse him.

You exclaim, "Hey buddy!"

You shove Miskton, and his hand shoots out to arrest his fall!  He gently pushes herself back to his seated position.  His eyes do not register you, and his breathing does not change, though you notice the gossamer thread flickers oddly in the process.  This is not working.  You may be able to PULL Miskton in an attempt to disconnect the thread.

You exclaim, "Time to wake up!"

You chuckle.

You gently pull at the gossamer thread at the base of Miskton's neck, and with an unsettling crackle and squelch, manage to pull it out of him a fraction of an inch.  he shudders a bit, but continues staring straight ahead.  You believe you have to CUT Miskton away from the thread.

You say, "Almost there."

You say, "Stay with me."

You search about your posessions and hastily find a blade.  In a delicate stroke, you use the blade to carefully slice at the gossamer thread at the base of Miskton's neck.  You put the blade back, and watch for a response.

His eyes widen for a moment, his mouth opening in a gasp, before his body collapses.

A golden haze surrounds Miskton's body in a protective embrace.

You blink at a collapsed and unresponsive Miskton atop a mysterious golden haze.

Severed from the connection with the null prison, Miskton now lies collapsed atop a golden haze.  He appears unconscious but breathing steadily.  He is unresponsive, and you believe you could STUDY him to learn more.

Freed of the strange connection that course through the gossamer thread, he is now surrounded by a golden haze that appears to be protecting and supporting him.  You believe you can PUSH him towards the exit and get him out of here!

You gently push at the unconscious Miskton atop the golden haze.

The body of Miskton moves with the force you exert, held aloft by the haze, though he rotates oddly and does not move in the direction you intended.

You believe that a PULL may move him out of here, towards safety, with the assistance of the golden haze.

You gently pull at the unconscious Miskton, attempting to move him and the golden haze toward the rest of your party.

The golden haze resists, and Miskton remains where he fell.  However, the force of your pull does cause him body to roll slightly.  You believe you may be able to RAISE Miskton from the haze and carry him to safety.

You gently raise the unconscious Miskton atop the haze, lifting him into your arms.  The haze erupts with light, surrounding the two of you until it becomes a brilliant flash.

<span style="color:blue">You find yourself returned to your friends, and the unconscious form of Miskton rushes along through the exit, leaving you standing alone.</span><br>

This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy, oddly manifesting as a disorienting corridor.  There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved.  An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow.  Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly.  A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby.  The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light.  You also see the heraldic company, the heraldic company, the heraldic squad, an immaculate drake that is caught in a cage of swirling darkness, a pristine drake that is caught in a cage of swirling darkness, a golden void formed in the space surrounding the area, a silver fang, a happily muddy white boar with a bright green damask scarf on it, a night-black monkey with bright red eyes and a stone ring held in place by a golden haze.

[Unknown, Null Hallway]
This endless expanse of nothingness radiates with overpowering magical energy, oddly manifesting as a disorienting corridor.  There is no sense of direction, beyond a loose notion of ahead and behind, though every step in either direction affords a complete lack of sense of having moved.  An oppressive emptiness swirls around you, the ground an immaterial force, the air thin and hollow.  Stretching in an staggeringly long line, countless individuals sit crosslegged, staring ahead blankly.  A thin gossamer filament visibly connects to the base of each of their necks, disappearing into the ground nearby.  The filaments twitch occasionally as they pulsate with light.  You also see the heraldic unit, the heraldic squad, a golden rip formed in the space surrounding the area, a happily muddy white boar with a bright green damask scarf on it, an immaculate drake which appears dead, a pristine drake which appears dead, a night-black monkey with bright red eyes, a large rock and a stone ring held in place by a golden haze.

Rent in the magical fabric sustaining the Null Prison during the raging battle in the skies, this golden rip slowly spreads as a multitude of tiny black flecks expand outward from its center.

You also see a night-black monkey with bright red eyes, a white dog, a lissome russet panther with rivulets of azure rippling through its fur, a stone ring held in place by a golden haze, a vela'tohr plant with leaves like polished obsidian bearing softly glowing star-like inclusions, a smokey grey leopard with hypnotic crimson eyes and flecks of ashes on her fur that is sitting, a spotted storm-grey lynx with piercing blue eyes that is sitting and an articulated maple necklace.

Closing his eyes, Anuril grunts briefly in effort as a small electrical ethereal fissure opens in front of him.  Thrusting his hand through, Anuril draws out an electric marauder blade.  As Anuril opens his eyes, the fissure closes.

Siendra grins sheepishly.
Tirost laughs softly, trying to hide his amusement.
Kerennya laughs at Siendra.
Parkons says, "Many many others. I presume not adventurers, common folk taken for some reason."
Forest Sprite Lileath goes down.
Kethrai says, "I couldn't even get a sense what race they were, looking at them."
Illiya grins at Siendra, her dimples flashing into view.
Anuril says to Illiya, "Well, initially I had a sensation that Mazrian was nearby that I followed, but then I got lost in the shifting corridors. Ezerak, Saragos, and Avrenka were also there. We wandered around what seemed like a maze for quite some time."
Aerilia frowns at Kethrai.
Illiya ponders.
Lupdels ponders.
Illiya asks Anuril, "Avrenka and not Vaerek?"
Zynell forces Parkons out of her group.
Anuril says to Illiya, "Eventually we found a sort of filament in the ground, and when we touched it we could sense the correct way to go. I found Mazrian conscous but unresponsive, with a filament going into the back of his neck."
Anuril snaps his fingers.
Tirost says to Anuril, "Really glad you were able to find him. Mazrian was not meant to waste in such a prison."
Anuril says, "Vaerek, apologies."

Kethrai says, "I don't know if their essence had just been drained away after so long, or if they would have been unknown even if I saw them in life."
Parkons says, "We have saved our friends, but there are so many others. I hope there is an effort to free them all."
Aerilia nods to Kethrai.
Tirost says to Kethrai, "That's a horrifying thought."
Lexxa asks, "Any moonmages?"
Eyst ponders.
Tirost asks Kethrai, "These were other prisoners you saw?"
Aerilia says to Kethrai, "In either case, it's an awful fate to be left to that place to languish forever."
Soul Surgeon Zynell patters down, leading her group.
Kethrai nods to Tirost.
Illiya asks Anuril, "What was the place like where they were being held?"
Anuril says, "I was unable to wake Mazrian via conversation, or increasingly violent jostling, so I eventually had to sever the filament with a blade."
Tirost nods to Aerilia.
Kerennya nods at Aerilia, obviously agreeing with her views.
Tirost nods to Anuril.
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Tirost says to Anuril, "You did what you had to do."
Siendra pets her russet panther.
Anuril says, "Even then, he wasn't mobile and I had to carry him out, with some assistance from a golden light."
Eyst asks Kethrai, "Drained you say. Then you believe the prison or the filament weren't just restraining them, but actively harming or taking something from them?"
Illiya gazes thoughtfully at Anuril.
Imroth asks, "So the Heralds are keeping people captive connected to some sort of machine?"
Tirost says to Eyst, "That may have been the goal of the encasements, if you're right: to drain energy and life."
Kethrai says, "Restraining certainly, and keeping them unconscious of anything including the passage of time, it seems."
Anuril ponders.
Eyst gives a slight nod.
Siendra says to Eyst, "It would explain their state.  Miskton was completely at a loss of sense of time, let alone having any strength to speak of."
Kethrai says to Imroth, "'Machine' might not be the right word. The filaments seemed to be part of the... space we were in."
Imroth says, "The Heralds are getting harder and harder to defend."
Illiya asks Anuril, "When you say the golden light assisted in carrying him out, how do you mean?"
Anuril ponders.
Kethrai says, "A vast magical construct, a spell pattern."
Aerilia ponders.
Imroth asks, "What word should I use? A statis chamber?"
Imroth says, "Stasis."
Eyst ponders.
Citizen Miraeven goes down.
Anuril says to Illiya, "It sort of supported him, I felt a bit like a moon mage with a shadow servant I was trying to pilot around, except it was made of light instead of shadows."
Kethrai says, "A prison, of some kind. But yes. In stasis."
Imroth nods.
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Imroth says, "I wonder what the purpose is."
Shavay just arrived.
You notice as a spectral white leopard with luminous blue eyes waves its tail slowly in the air.
Illiya asks Anuril, "And then what happened when you reached the exit?"
Kolja just left.
The faint roar emanating from Anuril's forearms suddenly ceases.
Shavay says, "Okay, Navesi is home."

Kethrai says, "If the visions we were shown by Elanthia are accurate, some of those the Heralds have imprisoned were... well, it might not have been safe for them not to be."
Kerennya says, "Good."
Imroth asks, "Heralds vast power if actually from their collection of souls?"
Aerilia smiles.
Shavay casually observes the area.
Kerennya smiles at Shavay.
Siendra smiles at Shavay.
Kolja just arrived.
Shavay asks, "Any word on Mazrian?"
Illiya says, "None yet."
Imroth asks Kethrai, "What do you mean?"
Kerennya says to Shavay, "Nothing definite.  They think he might be out in the islands, though."
Anuril says to Illiya, "The light seemed to bear him out the exit while I regrouped with the fighters."
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Kerennya nods to Tirost.
Illiya asks Anuril, "When you found him, were all of them together in the same place?"
Kethrai says to Imroth, "We saw a vision of a creature that opened up our plane to the Void in search of sorcerous magical energy, which led to the destruction of its society. That being was imprisoned by them."
Anuril shakes his head at Illiya.
Lupdels looks thoughtfully at Kethrai.
Anuril says to Illiya, "No, we had to split up at that point."

Shavay says, "Hm.  Well, if transport is needed for a search party, I can supply a ship."
Voranos asks, "Are the drakes of the heralds challenging to bring down?"
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Anuril says to Illiya, "He was in his own cell."
Kethrai says to Voranos, "You wouldn't find them so."
Tirost asks Kethrai, "The so called Gardener, you think? Or something else?"
You notice as a spectral white leopard with luminous blue eyes gazes around with a yawn.
You notice as a white dog sniffs the ground.
Imroth nods to Tirost.
Illiya asks Anuril, "Did he show any reaction or response at any point that you saw him?"
Kethrai says to Tirost, "The gardener was what I mean, yes."
Anuril says to Illiya, "When I tried to jostle him, he would right himself, while staying seated, but that was it."
Lupdels says, "The Gardener was unmade, the visions were not necessarily that they were imprisoned like our adventurers ..."
Kerennya nods to Tirost.
Lupdels frowns.
Kethrai says, "My only point being... some of those beings in the prison, it might be better for us if they stayed there. Or at least... We need to be wary if they're freed."
Parkons says, "Sounds like there are many pieces to this picture we need to put together. This wasn't just saving our friends. We learned about new aspects of the Herald's actions."
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Parkons nods to Kethrai.
Illiya jots down some notes.
Imroth says, "But also they took our friends to their prison."
Anuril nods to Parkons.
Anuril nods to Kethrai.
Tirost says to Kethrai, "That's an important point to make."

Kethrai nods to Imroth.
Imroth says, "I would not judge the "gardener" so quickly."
Lupdels says, "We received visions of the Heralds cultivating ancient civilizations. Centuries gone by. I suppose now we have been shown just what that cultivation means. Harvesting problematic pests from time to time ..."
Lupdels frowns.
Eyst asks Kethrai, "They were not all people such as us?"

Illiya asks Anuril, "When did you first have the sensation that Mazrian was somewhere nearby, was it after we went through the ring?"
Anuril says to Illiya, "Yes, shortly after we all went through the ring."
Illiya asks Anuril, "Before or after drakes attacked?"
Kethrai says to Eyst, "I couldn't tell the nature of most of them. But even the gardener from that vision, it started as a creature like us."
Tirost says to Eyst, "There are plenty of people who started like us and became something we would not like to unleash again on our plane."
Anuril ponders.
Shavay goes down.
Parkons says, "Whether we like it or not, ridding ourselves of the Heralds may bring forth new evils to deal with."
Eyst tugs at the tip of his mustache distractedly.
Anuril says to Illiya, "It was after the fighting broke out."
Tirost says, "There are many unknowns."
Siendra gazes up at the sky.
Parkons nods to Tirost.
Siendra inhales a great swallow of air.

Illiya jots down some notes.
Aerilia glances up at the sky.
Parkons nods to a long oak mirror painted with a rawboned figure.
Parkons nods to Imroth.
Illiya asks Anuril, "Did you notice anything else about the cell where you found him, or was it pretty similar to the one we were all held in before?"
Aerilia glances up at the sky.
Kethrai says to Imroth, "But it's not fully unknown. We do know what demons are like, and what they want."
Kolja hobbles down.
Imroth shrugs.
Tirost says, "For my part, my path is clear. Listen to the gods, and defend the people."
Anuril says to Illiya, "Yes it was very similar to the one we all found ourselves in at the start of all of this."
Imroth says, "The Heralds are in the same category as demons for me."
Aerilia nods to Tirost.
Siendra smiles at Tirost.
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Voranos says, "While the jury is certainly still out, I'd hope that the Heralds are akin to someone sitting atop a mountain and can see a storm coming before others due to their vantage point.  I'd hope they have a reason we cannot see yet but time will tell I suppose."
Anuril says to Illiya, "An endless expanse of nothingness."
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Voranos takes a bite of the popcorn.
Rozalynde just arrived.

Voranos nods to Golameth.
A wave of intense heat rolls out from a fiery fissure.
Anuril says to Illiya, "Nothing of note.. the prison was, very disorienting to traverse. It was more about intention than physical space."
Rozalynde hops down.
Tirost waves to Imroth.
Imroth waves to Tirost.
Voranos takes a bite of the popcorn.

Holy Vengeance Imroth trudges down.
Voranos puts his popcorn in his dragonar case.
Tirost says, "I should take my leave as well."
Illiya asks Anuril, "More about intention than physical space, that's an interesting thing to say.. can you explain that a little?"
Aerilia nods to Tirost.
Kethrai says to Anuril, "I had that sense even at the entrance. Felt like navigating the deeper parts of Maelshyve."
Aerilia says, "And I.  Safe travels."
Illiya hugs Aerilia, getting a smile in return.
Illiya hugs Tirost, getting a smile in return.
Aerilia hugs Illiya, getting a smile in return.

Illiya nods to Anuril.
Anuril says to Kethrai, "It is at least not a cruel way to imprison someone."
Illiya asks, "What do you mean by more about intention than physical space though?"
Kethrai holds up his hand and tilts it side to side in a so-so gesture.
Illiya flashes a quick grin at Kethrai.
Kethrai says to Anuril, "Keeping somebody from their eventual destination at death would be a cruelty for most. But probably a relief for some..."
Anuril says to Illiya, "It is as Keth mentioned, it reminded me of Maelshyve's soul, a place where physical reality is not fully present and movement is more about willpower."
Illiya ponders.
Illiya asks Anuril, "Sort of moving towards the feeling of where Mazrian is rather than any particular direction?"
Anuril nods.
Anuril says, "We found one corridor that was a circle, a loop, and Ezerak ran down it for quite a while."
Anuril says, "We kept going past Saragos."
Anuril says, "But from our point of view we were only moving forward."
Illiya says, "Interesting."
Illiya asks, "And you were all moving towards your individual sensations of where each different person was imprisoned, I suppose?"
Anuril says, "That's how we ended up in the hallways together, and how we split up once we found the thread or filament that led to the cells."
Illiya asks, "It was one filament then, not separate ones?"
Anuril says, "It was one, in the hallway, in the 'ground' that split up and led us to their individual cells."
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Illiya says, "Interesting. And kind of creepy."
Illiya chuckles.
Anuril smirks.
Anuril ponders.
Anuril says, "It's possible the many threads or filaments in that place formed a network of sorts."
Illiya nods to Anuril.
Kethrai brushes one ear with his hand, grooming it absentmindedly.
Anuril says, "And those of us who were familiar with the captives, were able to tap into it."
Anuril says, "To locate them."
Illiya says, "That makes sense.. by touching the filament you could tell where Mazrian was connected."

Anuril nods at Illiya, obviously agreeing with her views.
Anuril says, "Just so."
Kethrai says to Anuril, "Maybe that's where the idea for Zengmodaleth came from..."
Anuril ponders.
Anuril nods to Kethrai.
Illiya asks Anuril, "Can I get a sortof sound bite quote from you about the whole experience?"
