"Looks like it's up to me then. You spellcasters should really learn some summonings. They come in handy when it's time to blunder into danger."
She claps her hands together, fingers forming a complex series of configurations. There's a pulse of chill magic, and her shadow stretches out...and snaps off, landing on the ground beneath her. It writhes and grows into a towering vortex of shadow and wind...an air elemental of prodigious size!
Thorn points and says, "See that glowing book? Go close it. And then...carry it over there. Way over there. And stick around, I may have more for you in a second. Oh, and be careful of the mortal meatbags around the book. Don't step on them or...you know, suck them up or anything."
The elemental dispassionately moves to carry out its orders as Thorn watches, standing atop her carpet in midair with her fists planted triumphantly on her hips.
(OOC - Greater Shadow Conjuration to emulate Summon Monster VI and summon a Huge Air Elemental. Elementals are immune to all sleep effects, normally, so hopefully it'll be able to remove the source of this problem. )
The air elemental grabs the book and flies away from the group with it. It then succumbs to the magic of the book and drops it, then the cloud that was its body starts to rumble and churn with air-movements that can only be snoring.

Rook remains skeptical of this situation. He begins waving to the new adventurers warily. "Ho there! How have you come to this place? And to what purpose?"
The Solar looks at them with his penetrating gaze. He smiles, then, and speaks. They are heroes. I've seen both of them at work. Their presence here is a good sign. Perhaps they can help us explore this place?
