The jewel is magic. In fact, at some point it was socketed into a larger piece - probably a crown, maybe a necklace. The thing emanates with hypnotic blue patterns. Wave after wave, it suggests powerful mind magic, infused into it by skilled hands, no doubt.The identify spell shows that the jewel forms telepathic bonds according to the wearer's will. It can link up to four minds together. Probably that was the way they communicated to begin with. It sure has seen it's share of uses, exhausted as it is.[OOC: This is a Gem of Telepathic Bond. It has five charges of fifty - rolled and non-fudged! - and can be triggered by mere contact with the body, plus the trigger-word "Gestalt".]MORGRYMThe druid considers the situation for its inherent dangers. A quick evaluation of the ooze's situation inspires caution. Since it seems to behave in a desperate - almost predatory - way if hungry, odds are it might do so if left here alone. Besides, it knows it's surrounded. Even sentient beings that feel cornered try to break free at some point. The more this thing stays here, the greater the risk.[Morgrym understands the need for swift action; each day will increase in ten percent the chances of the ooze breaking out and attacking the rest of the population - if it's not attacked first, that is]MARIUSShayuri's suggestion strikes the monk as a dangerous path. He realizes that calling the Watch might be pretty much the same as calling Dram himself - only without the intention. He remembers his allies at the tavern, though. The other monks might be of assistance, as well as the mountaineers that are lodged around there...HAGADARKThe half-orc understands that his own people might be accepting of his plan of turning the weak to the thing. In fact, he might get rid of some opponents as well... Mhuagra might enjoy having such resources in hand. He also knows some men that might be interested in taking this thing away in silence, without alerting Dram at all. The only problem is that such people would charge for the service. Smugglers, well known of his orc brethren, would be glad to take the creature in. They might sell it to the wrong hands, though, or use it themselves.EVERYONEArvana glances at the group, still concerned after the confrontation."Can I vote against bringing Dram into this? Emphatically? He's proven to be reckless at the very least. I say..." - she lowers her voice. "I say we burn this place down, avoid further damage and leave while we can." - her suggestion is ratified by persistent nods from the nearby victims and prisoners."Well..." - the human rogue comes forward. "I might be able to offer an option... One that could benefit everyone" - he comes forward, cautious. "Beneath the city there are galleries, used mostly as sewers and hideouts for... Unconventional businessmen. You could take it down there. The local gangs would certainly vacate the premises as soon as they saw... This. And it might feed on the creatures that dwell down there... And believe me, there's a bit of everythingdown there.Don't know why, but there is..." - he scratches his left ear as he speaks. "We could even seal the entrances later on. So it doesn't come back, you know..." [MENTION=24380]Neurotic[/MENTION] [MENTION=4936]Shayuri[/MENTION] [MENTION=87106]MetaVoid[/MENTION] [MENTION=6801311]KahlessNestor[/MENTION]</blockquote>
