Dros nods humbly at Narine's ministrations. "It's nothing, lady. Just had to keep up with you, is all." The lurid green energy of the power stone flashes once, and then goes dead, edging Dros's wounds with green light and closing them. Finished with his wounds, the green energy also repairs his clothes and, as a final touch, gathers Dros's torn and ill-kempt hair into a neat braid going down to his shoulders. He seems surprised at the attention, but grateful.
Your party moves down the alley, and you discover that your luck is holding so far - the alley forks about 20 feet down its length, going right and left, deeper into the maze between buildings. The alleys are otherwise identical, small trash-strewn ways barely large enough for one person to pass. A gigantic pitted iron spike looms into the sky somewhere down the left-hand side, its peak glowing a dull red.
Narine:
[sblock] The power stone's effect on Dros is extremely strange. You know of no way to twist the spell to restore clothing and appearance, and indeed body adjustment tends to leave pale scars except in the hands of skilled psionicists, which quickly fade. Even these are not in evidence on Dros's body. It would take an exceptionally skilled psion to manage such skillful body manipulation. [/sblock]
Cagthail:
[sblock] Out of the corner of your eye, you spot a flash of white. A quick glance ascertains the presence of your recent guide, Kyra, crouched on a rooftop and looking down at you. Her technique is excellent, her motions timed to avoid attracting attention, but she seems almost diffident about remaining hidden, as though she is not sure she wants to be spotted or not. She didn't notice your brief attention, but her eyes are fixed on your party. [/sblock]
Adinal:
[sblock]You suddenly get a feeling of being watched, magically or in person - almost the same feeling you get when you sense a negotiation going badly awry. A swift glance around shows no one, but you're feeling nervy enough to miss anything.[/sblock]
Illira:
[sblock] Are you maintaining the focus on detect magic to better keep track of the amulet/hair comb or dropping it back to mere aura sensitivity to keep a better eye on your surroundings? [/sblock]
