Last Ditch
<< Well, Shadowlady, it seems you are right. I have made a grievous, grievous error. Do you think I fear you? Perhaps I do. But I am secure in my presence. I am secure in my reality. I am secure in my fate. >>
<< Let no one call me a coward, at least. Weak? I was weak. I became a tool of the staff, and it became a tool of me, and we both became a tool of Forrester. Whatever I face, however, my legacy will live on. I am the last Illithid of Toril, Shadowlady. All others died. Today, it seems, I will die. But not by your hand. >>
He smirks.
<< Catch me if you can. >>
And he calls out to Ilsensine for a Miracle.
=============
Edena, Anabstercorian is asking Ilsensine to promptly kill him and yank his soul in to Ilsensine's infinite mind, allowing him to at last die and join the Eldest Brain, thus saving him from Melkor's intentions.
My protege', Manzebossk, is a PL 1 Shaper20 Illithid. He will be made aware of my ultimate death and asked to never do anything as dumb as what I just did.
