For a split second, the edges of every leaf in sight are limned in its glow.Arweil's stone flies towards the portal in a low, flat arc.Tal needs to make a Reflex check to try and block the stone. Arweil doesn't look like he's going to hang around, so if Tal blocks it he'll be able to do as he pleases -- until the portal disappears, that is.-----The TowerAs the Follies all turn their attention to the shrinking portal, the shimmering man winks out of existence behind them. Now the only light comes from the portal itself -- a pale glow brightened by occasional sparks of energy -- and from Tuggle's everburning torch.Olo, Milo and Jaehn disappear at nearly the same time, and the three views of Evermeet's slender towers blink out as well. There's a sense that a very strange chain of events is about to wind to a close, and the moment has weight: it feels as though history has just been made.Then an old, wiry dwarf comes barrelling through the portal in a flurry of sand-colored robes, his urgrosh scraping a line of sparks on the stone floor as he lands in the tower. As he dusts off his knees and stands up, his gaze lingers for a moment on Tuggle's vest -- and then he turns and looks back into the portal.Which is now about five feet wide, and shrinking fast. On the other side, a bright ball of purple light is flying towards the portal -- and Tal is trying to put as much of himself between it and the portal as he can.</blockquote>
