Vandel slowly walked up to the entrance to the library.  Teresa was holding her own against the savages.  This skillful woman dispatched any that got close.  Vandel continued to watch.  He was invisible which was not fair but he was never one to quibble about fairness.He called up his psionic energies and concentrated on the woman.  Her mind was strange.  She was from a world of dragons, magic energies and a large war.  Somehow, she broke through the planar barrier to come here from a world called Eberron.  No matter.Now a puppet, she struck down Teresa.  Dazed and bleeding… Teresa’s last mortal sight was Vander’s empty head.  Twenty minutes later, after the 6 surviving orcs had their way with both women’s bodies and Vander, they left the burning tower.  The Crimson Lich would not approve but he had to return to the war where the next artifact was hidden.  Once HE had the items of a god, then they would discuss power and rulership of the multiverse.That brought a supernatural gleam to his bad eye and a sneer that was barely detectable.Then …then ALL of the multiverse Jim Addards would die.</blockquote>
