Dorn catches Jonas privately and whispers, "can you touch Silver Lance's mind? I fear to set my helmet down, afraid it might be whisked away in the dream. You've left a trusted friend behind, and I'm wary that we might never see him again." Dorn returns to small talk with the dwarven captain.

As Dorn finishes his comment he can see that Jonas is clearly disappointed in himself for not thinking of this earlier. Jonas how could you not think of that. He turns to Dorn and speaks in a humble soft voice"Thank you Dorn...I cannot believe that I didn't consider that posibility" With that he reaches out to Silver Lance... Lance, are you there? how are you and Razor doing? Are you being treated well?
If Silver Lance is doing well Jonas will inform him that I am going into the mines and informs Dorn that all is indeed alright. If all is not well Jonas will head immediately to the stable.

Silver Lance will let you know the stablehand is treating him well. He(?) has seen nothing out of the ordinary. The hay is good.
OOC: I have another group of midterms so I'll won't post the mine entry until Thurs. The current list of those present / not present (correct me if wrong) and going into mine.

Eye Spy Something Squamous
After sitting for awhile a guard will come in and signal Captain Bal. He looks to Lord Swifthammer and then to you and says, "The honor guard is ready." Captain Bal and Lord Swifthammer lead you out of the tavern and through the halls of the redoubt to the southeast. You pass the miner's quarters before arriving in a small entry hall with a double-barred iron door in the south wall. A group of four dwarves in full ceremonial arms and armor stand around by two others who wear a standard guard outfit and halberds. You may notice they are all members of the winning pratice team. Lord Swifthammer greets them all by name before looking at you.
"We now head into our family mines. Nothing out there should be any threat, these inspections are more a matter of tradition. Plus every now and then even a stuck fellow like me needs to get his hands dirty!" Lord Swifthammer laughs deeply.
The door is opened and you exit into a natural cavern that shows signs of mine tunnels go out from it. The two guards close the door behind you and the honor guard and nobles head out, carrying torches. Two honor guards take the front positions and two in the back. Lord Swifthammer and Captain Bal group near the rear guard leaving room for you ahead of them.
You are lead by the honor guard into the mines passages. At one point you notice a definate fork in the mine passages as if seams were found both to the north and south. The guards lead you down the south passage.
After a short distance down the south passage you notice something strange. Hanging to the ceiling of the mine above you is a disturbing creature. It appears as an eyeball surrounded by a ring of tentacles. You notice several of the tentacle seem to be reaching into the stone of the ceiling. The area around it appears strange. You can't quite describe what is wrong, but something seems unreal about the area surrounding it as if the creature is changing the area it occupies.
Ichtor, you would immediately recognize this as a creature of pseudonatural origin. You are unfamilar with it specifically but you believe it fills in a parasitic role in the Far Realms ecology.
Though the creature is out it the open the dwarves are unable to see it. You can conclude that, in fact, the dwarves are completely unaware of it's existance even though it is only a short distance from them. As you approach the creature, it makes no move and offers no threaten action, content to do whatever it is that it is currently doing.
Any actions?

"Considerate of you to provide lights for us topsiders," Dorn says politely as he sees the torches. "Not all of us have dwarves natural abilities," he continues with a glance back at Nazgrel.
Once the creature is spotted Dorn exchanges looks with Sean and wishes a greataxe could be subtly drawn. He looses the straps holding his axe. Dorn also pulls his helmet back on. Strange creatures and unnatural reactions were what he expected all along; strangely, Dorn seems more comfortable now that things are bit weird.
Dorn keeps his eyes open and his hand near his axe as he passes he creature. As Ichtor mutters Dorn hisses, "what is that?"

Ichtor you can tell it is an energy parasite from the Far Realms. It attaches to a sizable source of energy and drains them. It has a great deal of resistances across the board. You can guess that no one, other than an Alienist, would have enough experience with these to show up in their dream. So either Donvena knows more than she's lets on OR this things was implanted in here much the way you were.
Dorn, the drawf guard nearest you turns and laughs. "We can't have you topsiders falling all over the place, now can we?"

"Dorn...it seems as if the Dwarves don't notice that. (Assuming Ichtor has given us the information that he is privy to, Jonas will continue) This could be what is taking Donvena's life force." Jonas looks intensely at the creature as he moves (Detect Evil). If it is evil Jonas will hold a torch to it with his chield hand as if looking more closely at the ceiling...
