X5: To the Temple of Death - IC

ooc: Was waiting to see what Eissun does at this point

The shadow elemental drifts back to the group and his master, trying to point in the direction the blue-robed man went. Jex keeps his focus on the shadow-creature, unable to do anything else of effect.

Sorry for the delay.

"Amaunator, please guide us." Fuller clasps his hands and prays silently, mentally preparing for what is to come.

Suddenly, the room seems to grow dim. Out of the corner of your eye you see a shadowy figure made of billowing steam or dust, but you can't focus on it. It seems to be holding two swords, then it puts them away and draws a much smaller item, perhaps a dagger. He throws it towards the sphere. The figure dissipates, with the dagger vanishing last. The lighting is normal again and the sphere is unchanged.

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Kinem, what is the sphere? Did I miss something?

 

[kinem]

ooc: The resilient sphere with Jex, Girgal & Ripclaw inside.

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Ohhhh! My bad!

Aram finishes stacking furniture in front of the door, and turns to regard his companions within the sphere. "Can I do anything to help?"

 

[Dragonwriter]

Jex shrugs. "I don't believe so. It would seem we are merely stuck here until the sphere dissipates."

Eissun frantically gestures in the direction of the secret door and the escaping foes.

 

[Rhun]

The dervish frowns. "Any idea how long that will be? I mean, the alarm has been raised...if we're talking hours, we may have a problem."

"Is it just me ... and under the circumstances it might well be" Fuller says "or was there just some sort of strange ... apparition here? I don't know what it means, but maybe someone was trying to tell us something. Perhaps the gods have taken an interest in our mission, but won't help us more directly, and if so we should surely pay attention. Or, I must admit, perhaps there is some magic in this room meant to mislead us."

 

[Dragonwriter]

In response to Aram, Jex shakes his head and shrugs again. "Not my kind of magic... Hard for me to say."

The shadowcaster then looks at Father Fuller, a curious and simultaneously far-away look in his eyes. "So I wasn't seeing things? That... apparition, as you said? Perhaps your guess is right, but I don't think we'll find out here and now. I take it neither you nor Girgal has a spell remaining that could break this globe?"
