Elemental Movements

"Either they never expected this to happen, or... they don't care about this entire campus?" Moore asks quietly.

"Overconfidence, or...?" He shakes his head and gestures again at another area.

Another QUAK.

"Cowardice! Running to save themselves!" Cresiel bellows, as now the tower falls. Buildings are collapsing, a din tremendous as more and more falls.

"It's working!" Xandra says, "Let us escape triumphant!"

[Nephrite]

Yeah, if everything is basically in ruins, then Moore will grab the blocker on his turn and Cresiel can get us all out of here, or Jetina can. Majanal can come with us! :)

[Anastasia]

Thus you return to Celestia, intact and whole. Majanal is laid down by Cresiel, who shakes his head. "He died on impact. He may have survived what overcame him, but the fall was fatal."

[Nephrite]

I figured when he "died" his body would've vanished or something like that? I thought that happened when people were on planes like that. Or are fey different?

[Anastasia]

It depends on creature type. Outsiders generally don't leave bodies. Fey do.

Thing is, outsiders are a soul that is also a body. They're pure spirit, pure ethos, pure alignment. There's no body to be left behind because they were merely projecting one. It's an entirely spiritual existence. Elementals are the same thing, as they're essentially masses of elemental power.

[Nephrite]

Okay. Well that's fine either way, it removes him as a threat since he won't just reform somewhere else. I guess unless the Queen of Air and Darkness wants something from him.

"Unfortunate, but at least we removed him from Creation so he can no longer do harm to anyone else." Moore says.

May as well see what he had on himself and also go over all the books we got.

[Anastasia]

"Speak with dead and similar spells exist, too," Cresiel says, "He will not escape our questions."

[Nephrite]

"I wonder, do you think he was behind all the antics in the tower?" Moore asks. He shakes his head. "Either way, yes, you're right. What's the proper protocol for something like this? Do we take him to the same place as we did Duran?"

[Anastasia]

"Wasn't there talk of a menagerie there as well from our spy?" Jetina asks, "Was that mistaken or old information?"

[Nephrite]

"Anything is possible." Moore says. "They may have had to leave to go deal with the other operations. I'll ask her to investigate if there's anything left at the college now. Cresiel, can you handle Majanal? I'll talk to Melia." Moore adds.

[Anastasia]

Nods all around.

OOC question first: What sort of questions do you want out of Majanal through speak with dead? You can get as loose or specific as you want here, down to dictating questions if you want.

[Nephrite]

I'd like to find out why he was at the War College. If it was just a flight of fancy, then whatever, but assuming it was more than that I'd want to see how far down that relationship goes. If the Queen of Air and Darkness is moving along with the Grand Sultan then that is A Thing.

[Anastasia]

Noted, we'll cover it after Melia.

Melia is found in her office, deep in a tome and scribbling notes as she reads. She's annotating the book, grumbling, "Fucking astral loons," under her breath before, "You're back."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "We didn't run into that mercenary group at all, but we ran into an Unseelie named Majanal." Moore explains. "Could you do some surveying of the War College and see if somehow they were expecting us and moved operations or anything? If they've got underground stores, we should go back and put an end to them."
