"We're looking for the source of some kind of supernatural disturbance..."
Talishia's words trail off as Buurt finds himself subconsciously thumbing through the dusty tomes and loose pages of parchment strewn throughout the shelving. "Got this," he says absently, moving the mundane trinkets from side to side, looking for anything.
It seems natural as the top shelf zooms closer to him; he hadn't even realized he'd begun to climb. Decaying skulls and other brittle bits of bone and crushed powders lie in a deep layer of dust. Thick, leather-bound volumes whose titles can't be read through the filth fill the gaps in between, and the dust rises and licks the half-orc's throat as he slides them aside.
[sblock=The little voice in Buurt's head]Now you see me? Best to keep me all to yourself, then. We wouldn't want to worry the others, right? Good... That's right, just move the books back and make no mention of it. All's clear here, right? That's right... our little secret.
[/sblock]
"Nothing here," Buurt says as he hops down from the shelves, wiping the dust from his large hands.

(OOC note - It's Talashia...TalA...not Tali. No big deal, but since you've done it more than once I suspect it's a misreading more than a typo. 
)
"Of all the..." Talashia scowls and invokes her only divination...the lowly detection cantrip. "It's stopped for now. It must know we're looking for it." She scans around the room again, ignoring the potions this time.
"Shazi, gather those potions on the table up please, and put them in my satchel. We'll work out what they do and who gets them later."
The mephit, which is still hovering in approximately the center of the room and looking around warily, gives Talashia a scowl and dutifully flaps to the table to start carrying the 'request' out. He deliberately takes his time about it though, reading any labels in great detail before putting them in the leather bag with exaggerated care. Any near him can hear him muttering what sound like curses in some alien tongue.

Caerwyn will jsut stand guard staying ready to defend her
"It wasn't any direct consequence of the ritual," Talashia grumbles as she gives up on finding the disturbance and instead raids the shelves of a few vials of components. "The spell itself is a simple one, and wouldn't cause effects like that. Shazi was constrained by the circle; no power of his could have reached beyond it."
She shakes her head.
"I suppose it might have been some kind of contingent spell...a sort of reaction to unauthorized magic being performed. A variant on Uthgar's Phantasmal Servant or one of its knockoffs maybe..."
"Well, anyway, back to the start positions. I suggest we get some rest and resume tracking him in the morning. "

Uulark Simental, Cleric7, AC18,FF15,T13, HP28/35, -4 wisdom=12
As much as Uulark does not want to let this pass so easily before more satisfying answers are had from Talashia, he is not currently up for the kind of verbal combat that he knows would be required to learn anything more of any significance whatsoever. Uulark sighs heavily, "Yes, I agree. And, more importanty for me, maybe I'll be feeling more like my old self again after a night's rest." Uulark is referring, of course, to his wisdom damage.
