The Psionicle, Part IX

[The Forsaken One]

Ruth hold her head up with both hands and looks at the Cleric.

Perhaps, but I doubt such a treasure is left unguarded. I know I wuoldn't leave it that way. And it still is a library after all or how did it get that name? I'd like to know more about that place... Because many people value lore above all else and hord and guard with feverous zeal.

And what if Jirlai has sought allies himself? He doesn't strike me as a fool.

And can anyone fill me in on those illithids you keep talking about...?

 

[Dalamar]

"Illithids are a great enemy. They're creatures strong in the art of psionics. It was thought that they were gotten rid off, but it seems they are returning as we've run into quite a few half-illithids.
They're nasty creatures that'll try to eat your brains."

 

[Creamsteak]

Missive, "Let's go now, and then I'll scout out the way and return while the rest of you rest."

 

[Jarval]

"Illithids? Foul creatures." Jansson pulls a face in remembrance of the human hybrids he fought. "They're humanoid, more or less, but they've got tentacles where their mouth should be, and as Syld says, they have the charming habit of eating brains. And if they don't eat you, they try to enslave you. Overall, they're pretty nasty pieces of work."

 

[GnomeWorks]

"So, what's the plan?" Tori'shel asks, looking around. "Or are we going to stay here and consider our options, while Jirlai - if he's going there - gets there first?"

"The technologist is right." Shardorn says. "We should decide what we are doing, and soon."

 

[Dalamar]

"How about sleep, library and butt-kicking for goodness?"

 

[Jarval]

"I vote for sleep first, as Ruth has a point. We've got a few wounded, and I'm sure many of us have used some portion of our mental or magical energy reserves. If we're teleporting to the library, we should still arrive before Jirlai."

 

[Darkwolf]

The sleeping blue resting next to the giant black cat appears to agree with Ruth.

 

[Zhure]

Osius

"Looks like we're sleeping first." Osius curls up and tries to go back to sleep.

 

[GnomeWorks]

And so, the group rests...

All who were sleeping get 5 hit points back, if you were missing any.

8 hours pass. As you awaken, the shadowy figure appears in the shade of the trees, as the sun is nearing the top of the sky.

"Have you decided where you wish to go?" It asks.
