[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5895811, member: 2710"] His spell cast, Anaerion begins reciting the translation softly in order to make use of Malkovian (and simultaneously avoid the disembodied companion's distraction if he were ignored). Kalgor continues to sit near the western tunnels, slowly etching out his rough map from whatever silent reports he is getting from his panther. Ausk begins a loose patrol of the cavern as Tyrien begins flipping through notes and books idly and Kanli lies down near the pool of muck and either meditates or starts napping; with Kanli, it's often hard to tell what he's intending to do, though as the next approximately fifteen minutes pass, those not actively involved begin to wonder if Kanli has the right idea with this nap notion. [sblock=Tyrien]All the text is in the same foreign language, so Tyrien can't make heads or tails of the content (no ranks in Linguistics). She does recognize numbering on the notes in Common, though, and as she sifts through, is able to put the notes in what she thinks might be their proper order, an effort she hopes might reduce the time of anyone else translating them for study.[/sblock] [sblock=Ausk]Despite his misgivings, Ausk hears and sees nothing out of the ordinary as the group continues to while away their time in the cavern with its unnatural trees.[/sblock] [sblock=Anaerion]It's slow going, even with the spell translating.
