Elven Navy Delta Squad: Thought Taker

[Old Fezziwig]

Akodo half hops over to where Marcus is. "What are looking at there, chief? I hope we're done here soon, this is interesting, but I'm kind of weirded out by all this stuff. Well, that and Thought Taker. I wish I knew more about all this. It's eerie, to say the least." He flips into hare form and tries to hop all around the sphere. A little bit anxious, Akodo figures that maybe keeping himself active will help allay his edginess.

The sooner we are out of this floating tomb, the better, Chjargal thinks to himself as he surveys the area, looking for any signs of life beyond their own. Why the illithid wishes to waste such time and energy on something which has no life left in it, I'll never understand...

"Very interesting. But what do we think is the purpose of all this? Art? Entertainment?" Amanu muses alound.

"Well, Akodo, I have no idea what this thing could be. Dangerous, though - those wires appear to be razor sharp. Unusual from my thinking for some thing so sharp to be on a piece of art," Marcus replied to Akodo and Amanu. "Keep your eyes sharp for any potential trouble. And . . . I guess we should tell Thought Taker about this thing."

Thanks, mirthcard. Out of curiousity, does everyone here subscribe to game threads or do you watch the forums for updates?

Thought Taker examines the artifacts momentarily, then gestures to the tunnel opposite the entrance. It leads towards the center of the asteroid. With the mind flayer in front, you float down the the tunnel to a second spherical chamber.

Your light sources glint off something metallic ahead of you. It's a large three-pointed star, perhaps six feet across, hanging unsupported in the center of the chamber.

Thought Taker pushes past you in his rush to the star. "The Elders." His words in your head are triumphant. As the mind falyer moves forward, you see something you hadn't noticed before. There's a tiny object hanging in space just beyond each tip of the the three-pointed star. The tiny object is another three-pointed sat, a perfect duplicate of the large symbol but no larger than your palm.

"Look." It's Thought Taker's mental voice. The illithid is pointing to one of these smaller "sub-stars." "Look closely."

Akodo tentatively inches forward to look at the stars and sub-stars, wary of getting too close to the illithid. When he finally gets close, though, he relaxes, fascinated by the stars. "It's incredible." He peers in at the point Thought Taker is indicating, looking closely, straining, his ears cocked forward, inquisitively.

OOC: I usually subscribe to the threads (which is how I knew you posted just now).

Edit: Moved OOC OOC stuff to the OOC thread.
