[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7287397, member: 59816"] [b]The Genasi Siblings[/b] (Also, a recap, summary, and explanation:) As everyone raided the alchemist's admixtures, the Genasi siblings were deep in telepathic conversation. It had started with Terrus, who was again contacted by Chomylla. Having noticed him in psychic communication, his siblings had joined in through their familial bond. The fact wasn't entirely understood, but it seemed to Pyrus that the Diamond Staff had long ago been imprinted with the psychic memories of a long-dead Uvarenni (elf) arcanist. This was the artefact that the group had been hired to liberate from the clutches of the Dracolich. To make matters more problematic, the Staff was only the second-most powerful source of magic in the area (excluding, perhaps, the undead dragon): The entire mountain surrounded a powerful elemental Earth Node. Terrus had felt it on arrival, but he was only now beginning to understand the nature of what he'd been sensing all along. Ages ago, it had crashed from the heavens and it had destroyed the Elves of Uvaren. These elves possessed knowledge beyond current understanding.
