And to that end, from the note in his book, we know he needed to create a fire.'Glancing again at the smoky haze behind the magical ward, he continuses.'But how did that creature come into being? He might of course have summoned a variant of the little airy dervishes we encountered at the ground floor, a variant composed of flames instead of wind.' Quietly, the elf shakes his head. The creatures downstairs were much, much smaller than the one captured by the ward and the Wizard did after all leave a note about alchemical fire. 'Maybe..' Morulas takes a reproachful look at the stone wall surrounding them 'Maybe he used the alchemical fire and unintentionally created or summoned a fiery creature which in turn was transmuted into one of smoke by the spell he prepared. This tower, if Nars is right, is quite a bit older than Rilithorne himself and there are elemental forces bound into it's walls. The gate of ice and fire we passed is proof of this. Some fiery beast that Rilithorne himself didn't anticipate and struck out against with the spell he had prepared.'Morulas nods to himself. 'Yes, that would probably be the most likely solution.'Still, though he shudders at the very thought, the elf can't help but also share his most sinister thought. With eyes downcast, he continues.'Rilithorne could, maybe just maybe, also have mishandled the alchemical fire, dousing himself with the sticky fuel. To save himself he might have desperatly cast the last spell he prepared and, against all odds, succeded the Pyrotechnics just as he was turning into a living torch.'Again, Morulas hesitates, afraid to finish the dread thought.'Than, Rilithorne himself might indeed be the poor creature in there. His flesh being slowely consumed by the flames as he turned into a figure of living smoke... and likely quite insane. But that of course, would be highly unlikely.'</blockquote>
