The Psionicle, Part VII

[GnomeWorks]

Desimus - you find no trace of Jhessail anywhere. She isn't in any part of the temple, and is nowhere in the village.

-----

Those who venture into the hallway with the doorways find that there appear to be enough rooms for there to be one for each of you.

-----

Tori'shel wanders up behind Jansson and Osius.

"If you two don't mind," She says, "I might be able to repair Niko's golem. If I can, we can use it when the illithid come. If you won't let me... I understand."

 

[Jarval]

Jansson shrugs at Tori'shel's question.

"As far as I am concerned, you may repair it. I think we're going to need any help we can get."

He frowns briefly, as if puzzled by something, then heads towards one of the rooms.

Tori'shel mumbles her thanks, then wanders off down the hall, back to the entrance room.

Other than Desimus, all of the party eventually wanders down the hallway and enters an unused room, and falls asleep on the beds that, compared to the benches of the carriages, are quite comfortable. All of you fall asleep surprisingly fast...

After sleeping, you all regain all of your lost hit points.

You awaken in the morning, surprisingly very refreshed. No one comes to wake you, but you all manage to wake shortly after the sun rises.

You find Tori'shel and Jirlai seated on the floor in the entrance room, Tori'shel tinkering with her devices, and Jirlai in some sort of meditative trance.

"You're up." Tori'shel says in an almost bored tone. "That's good. Jhessail was here earlier, and said that she would wait until you woke up. She should be here shortly."

She then points to the wall opposite of the archway that leads to your rooms. "She went through the wall there... I think that the yuan-ti leaders are through there as well, but we can't go through it."

 

[Jarval]

"Did you mention anything about the illithid to Jhessail?" he asks, as he sits on the temple floor. He waits for Tori'shel to reply, then takes a deep breath and begins meditating to restore his psionic reserves.

 

[Zhure]

Osius

Osius joins the others without comment, meditating as part of the group.

Once he has regained his power points, Osius will manifest Sustenance.

"Tori'shel, did you repair the golem?"

 

[dkoz]

OOC: I guess I should have posted that I went to bed after looking for Jhessail, but I thought my previous post made that intention apparent. Well no mater...

Desimus stayed up throughout night waiting, studying Jirlai's staff, and watching for danger from the illithid's and deceptions from within. Early in the morning he went out into the village to watch the sunrise and collect his thoughts. Walking back in to find the others awake he leans against one of the walls.

"I was unable to find Jhessail last night, which worries me, but everything worries me right now, so it probably does not mean much. I do not look forward to any encounters with the flayers and thing we should leave with the Eye as soon as possible."

Desimus pulls a ration from is satchel and eats his meager breakfast.

 

[Dalamar]

Syld comes to the entrance room, yawning as he does.
"Morning people..."

He then sits somewhere on the floor to meditate.

Jansson
"Did you mention anything about the illithid to Jhessail?"

Tori'shel shakes her head.

"No, I didn't." She says. "I thought it would be best if you told her, considering what happened yesterday."

Osius
"Tori'shel, did you repair the golem?"

"Yes, I did." She says, and points to the golem, which stands upright in a corner. "It is quite a piece of work... Niko did well in its construction."

Animus passes out and will wake up in the morning. He practically falls asleep standing up, until he slumps onto his back rather violently.

(OOC: I'm going to forget everything that happened during the day, and my character is going to think that Niko left. Don't spoil the fun for me by telling me he is dead unless I ask for it.)
