[QUOTE="Tellerian Hawke, post: 7008766, member: 6790669"] Merlin will pocket all three of the items, for later study. Realizing that the force cage is still in effect, a thought occurs to Merlin: [B][COLOR=red]~The fog lifted, the entity and his followers gone, but the force cage remains? I had assumed that the force cage was down, which would have explained my solitude. But now, it appears that it indeed remains. So where have they gone to? Perhaps they are not as tied to this plane as I had imagined? Was the entity a remnant, a mere haunting of this place? Perhaps the cage only held him in life, and as a spirit, he mimicked his actions in life, despite being free to leave at any time? Perhaps he and his followers, if they were all hauntings, faded with the rising of the morning sun?~[/COLOR][/B] Knowing that he needs his full reportoire of spells in order to escape the cage, Merlin lies down in the grass to rest.
