Jex chuckles at the priest's rather obvious mistrust of the shadow. "Don't worry, Father. Eissun is my ally, no one else's. You've heard of other mages with their familiars, be they rat or toad, yes? Well, that's what Eissun is for me. Except he's a bit more interesting and able to do different things than a wizard's pet."
Jex nods then, and starts to turn. "Well, it's a pleasure to meet all of you, though I wish it were rather different circumstances. I suppose we should be off. The Master won't just kill himself, you know, and there's still ground to cover between us and him."
Eissun drifts back into the ground, keeping only its wispy head above the dirt, and always staying within its master's own shadow.

Father Fuller will nod, but still appears uneasy, things were too convienient, first Kiera and now Jex. Hurrying up, the abbot moved close to Aram.
"Aram, I worry that we need to be cautious around these two. Those who deal with the shadows usually become tainted by them" he whispers, before dropping back to guard their rear.

"Keep your eyes open, Father, and be wary..." whispers Aram in response to his companion's concern. As the cleric dropped to the back, Aram considered. Only he and Girgal were now left out of the original group, and that concerned the dervish. While both Fuller and Kiera were seemingly dedicated to the Master's destruction, in truth he had no way of knowing. And now another newcomer. Could it all be some sort of elaborate trap set by the Master?
The desert warrior shakes his head, as if to clear such thoughts. He would keep his eyes and ears open, but if he did not trust in his companions, their mission would have little chance of success. Or rather, less chance of success than it already had...

"by the bye, Aram, my first name is Allister."
then Louder:
One further question Jex, do you know if divine energy will harm your familiar? If not we can test it, as I don't want to relase the power of the sun on an ally. It usually effects the undead that is closest to me first. "

"Funny you should ask that, Father. A priest once mistook my companion for one of those loathsome undead shadows and tried to turn him. He was quite taken aback when Eissun just floated there and shrugged. From what I've been able to understand, Eissun is an elemental, not an undead. While he doesn't care for bright light, he isn't harmed by it. Of course, that's a large part of why he remains just below ground level most of the time, and we can both cloak an area in darkness so he is better able to fight, while the enemy is blinded."
Jex walks as he chats casually, occasionally wincing and holding his left side, a lasting pain from his captivity.

"An elemental, eh? Well, that certainly makes me feel a bit better." Aram turns back long enough to smile at the others, and then continues leading the way across the (valley ?). "Do you know anything about the Master's forces in the area, Jex? Have you seen anything that we should need to be worried about?"

"This makes me wonder. I'm no stranger to elemental powers myself. I heard of fire, earth, air, water, and even the paraelementals, but never of shadow elementals. Are there light, plant and other elementals, too?" Girgal asks, not fully convinced.

Jex raises an eyebrow at Aram's smile. "Is that some kind of joke? I hate not being in on jokes...
"But as to your question, I haven't seen much movement on this road. Some stragglers from when the Master moved his army through, but not much else. But I've only been free a short time, so there could be more than I've seen. However, there is a small town further along this road. We might be able to reach it tonight if we walk at a brisk pace. I've been avoiding it, even though it's not a military place, just because I'd rather none of the Master's forces notice me as the escaped prisoner with a living shadow.
"And to your question, my good halfling, I've done some research into the topic since I first called Eissun to service. I came to the conclusion that it all had to do with the planes of existence. Just as there are the fire, earth, air and water planes, so too are there elementals for each of those planes. It stands to reason then, especially since we have proof of it right here, that there are elementals of the other Inner Planes, including the Shadow Plane. While I've yet to encounter any Ethereal, Astral or Positive or Negative elementals, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they do exist. Plant, on the other hand, is not specifically a plane, so I would doubt there are any plant elementals. The same goes for Light, though I would think any Positive Energy elementals would be similar. Still, I've never seen any of the sort."
Jex talks casually but is a bit animated as he speaks. It's obvious he's glad of some company, especially some that respond to him.
