[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5897346, member: 2710"] After Gragnor's return, it's about 20 more minutes before Anaerion finally looks up, a bit bleary eyed after the whites of his eye are once again white. [sblock=Kalgor]Gragnor finds himself unable to open the door, which seems to be locked, and though he searches the interior of the crypt, whoever was buried here apparently didn't label the inside. He skulks back through the tunnels and rejoins Kalgor.[/sblock] [sblock=Anaerion]Placating his amulet seems to actually help matters, as Anaerion actually finds the disembodied voice helping him when he's stuck. The spell fades just as Anaerion puzzles out the last of the annotated section with its lengthy discussion of how to use special rituals to open portals in key locations, certain he might not have finished were it not for Malkovian. After nearly an hour studying the text, Anaerion has learned that the ritual described in the book can open a portal in the Sunless Grove to release “spawn of the Dark Tapestry." A section near the end cautions those who would attempt this ritual, warning that forcing open such portals draws forth the spiritual essence of the casters, and that any entity contacted by the portal can make “hideous use of this essence by consuming it, growing more powerful in the bargain, such that only the end of such essence can challenge the intruder’s rights upon your world.” Anaerion's extensive knowledge translates the warning farily easily: opening a portal in this manner links the souls of those who open the portal to a creature on the far side, and the creature will grow more powerful if it can kill those who conjured it. Conversely, if some other agent kills the conjurers (or sets their spirits beyond the reach of the conjured creature), that spiritual energy will be lost to the conjured creature. In this way, it should be possible to weaken a summoned creature by killing the conjurers before it can do the same. If all involved in the summoning can be killed before the creature gets to them, it would be banished back to the Dark Tapestry.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
