Message: <blockquote data-quote="DM_Matt" data-source="post: 1149054" data-attributes="member: 1213">....The dungeon group appears in the safe house as Rannos walks in carrying Margaret. Irodr looks jealously at the enormous Ubaar, somewhat hurt that Elone is ignoring him and cognescent of the fact that he wouldn't stand a chance in a fight.  He sighs and extends his hand to take Elone from Ubaar and put her on a bed.Jonathan tends to Rana and Jaina and makes sure they sleep confortably.  Meanwhile, he explains "What you just saw...what Jaina can do.  That is probably why the Gondites wanted her.  I suspect they hoped to unlock the secrets of that unusual ability.  Unfortunately, Jaina has had little success controlling it.  If she's hurt badly enough and her conscious mind is weakened enough, they can sometimes activate automatically.  She sometimes can control it, and she is getting better at it, though.  Irusyl has had some success in discovering methods to harness it."While Rannos takes care of her, Margaret addresses the group in a quiet, hoarse, voice, obviously in a lot of pain (her arm is broken and the side of her head is still bleeding). "I can't go back.  Not to the temple, not to the city, not anywhere that the Grtak can reach.  But what they were doing there was not the sort of inventing that true devotees of Gond pursue.   They made me help them downstairs (chokes up).  They experiemnted on people to fiure out how to build better constructs.  Killed them after long, excrutiating tortures that I was forced to watch. And the gate, the gate....to Acheron, below the temple.  They resorted to dealing with fiends to procure more advanced technology for the Grtak...it was horrible...aweful (starts to cry).</blockquote>
