And while Baazka had controlled him, he had mostly stayed to using Morgan's own abilities, Morgan knew that it had only been part of the ruse. If the Daggerfordians were onto him, then Baazka could (and would) use his own power.Which meant that Lionel would be able to cast spells.Morgan knew this, because Baazka had shown an innate understanding of how to use his abilities - if anything, Baazka seemed to understand it intuitively, as if he simply expected magic to bend to his will like he did the bodies that he chose to occupy.Morgan knew that he was not powerful enough to teleport. Not that the magic was necessarily beyond his capabilities, but that if he could, he certainly would have done so from the beginning. But what was the most effective way out? It came to Morgan, though he had been the supressed personality at the time that he'd seen it, riding his own body through none of his own volition.There was a bucket on a rope in a pool, through the swollen door to the left. There had been light from above - a well between the lodge's two buildings, quite close to under the covered pass-over hallway that connected them (the one that had collapsed). It was a way out. If Lionel could not climb the rope, which he quite likely could, then Baazka would be able to fly him out, or at least levitate!"He's going that way!" said Morgan, indicating the swollen door to the west, as he caught up to Tommi. Tommi, who had been thinking about what Lionel would do, immediately understood what he meant as he remembered the well-bucket, though the magic never occurred to him. It was a climb straight up a rope, but nothing that Lionel couldn't handle, and then he'd be out of the building while the others were still climbing the cellar stairs, or searching through the crypts in vain.[ooc]More could still help this Turn.[/ooc]</blockquote>
