Ur'nagi frowns as it becomes apparent that the rock is too heavy for even Mek to carry.

The sight of the rock starting to glow brings forth a low growl of apprehension from the wolf rider. She hefts her spear and snarls at the rock, instinctively. But something deep inside knows that her defiance will be of little use against magic.

[sblock=ooc]Will Save (1d20+0=2). That will be a fail I think.[/sblock]

Mek (Bugbear Ranger 1)

Mek lets out a gravels out "Cover it!" as the magic takes hold.

Nerrak frowns as the rock starts to glow, and reaches into his pack to withdraw a tattered blanket. He moves to drape the blanket over the rock, hoping to stave off any of the thing's magical effects.


Will save: 20

All but Nerak, Nerak's wolf and Suxm are fascinated by the bright changing colors of the stone. Read changes to violet, and violet changes to blue, green and yellow.
Without the power of Ur'nagi and Mek, Suxm and Nerrak can't move the stone.
Seconds turn to minutes and the two warriors keep staring in awe at the colorful stone.
Covering the stone fails to break the magic, the glowing is so strong that it can be seen from under the cover, it is like a beckon on this dark remote knoll

we can't leave stone here, Mogur will kill us.
Suxn whisper to Nerrak.
we must protect it if animals will come, or give big nasty bugbear to animal

Ur'nagi stares at the pretty lights. They are fascinating, captivating. They flicker and dance. They are trying to tell Ur'nagi something, but every time she gets close to grasping their meaning, it disappears. She strains to see the pattern, to understand the message. But it is ephemeral, fleeting, elusive.

Somewhere, far away, a voice keeps nagging her to close her eyes, to turn away from the stone. It buzzes incessantly. It's annoying, like a mosquito somewhere close while you are trying to get to sleep. You can hear it, but not see it. It won't go away.

But it is not hard to ignore. The lights are so captivating. Ur'nagi could stand here forever watching them.

Mek (Bugbear Ranger 1)

Rapt, the massive bugbear stares deeply and very intently with his eyes fixed onto the the eternity of colors that the stone emotes.

Motionless and completely unaware of what is happening around him, Mek stands and awaits the fate that the stone would bear him, or his will would outmatch the evil magics that bound his faculties.

Nerrak shrugs at Suxm and then turns to walk up to Ur'Nagi. After a second's pause, he slaps her hard across the face, hoping to snap her out of the stone's spell.

For an instant the pretty lights are ripped apart by an explosion of red light. The taste of blood fills her mouth. The smell of it fills her nose. The wolf rider is gripped by a sense of fear. Not now! she wails internally; I was so close to understanding them!

Something else emerges from the dark spaces left by the shattering of the pretty lights. Ur'nagi can sense it, lucking at the edges of her perception. It calls to her. She knows it. It warns her of danger. She knows that she should listen. But the pretty lights are reforming and they are so beautiful. Surely it won't matter if she has one last look ...

Outside the ruined tower

Slapping to Ur'nagi changed nothing ... minutes turned into hour!
The two warriors stare in awe at the color changing stone.
Someone will see us eventually
Suxm say to Nerrak
Wait, what was that?

Somewhere in the dark, a noise of some kind, it came from the rubble of the ruined tower.
There is something over there ... or was it the stone, is it playing tricks on your minds as well?

Ur'nagi, needless to say, is oblivious to any movements in the shadows - real or otherwise. The goblin warrior continues to stare vacantly into space, drooling slightly.
