A book and many things to do

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sighs to herself. 'Gather close, let's see if Dimension Door works.'

[Anastasia]

'Shit,' Bastian says, a single, sour word muttered.

'Well, if we got in we can get out,' Emily sends, as you all gather.

Naturally, Dimension Door fails.

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, I gotta ask something technical. I know there are spell circles, but can I draw a spell circle out and activate with silence in effect?

[Anastasia]

Like a particular spell or what do you have in mind here?

[Iron Dragoon]

Particular. I've got Xorn Movement prepped. Also Regen.

[Anastasia]

You can't unless you have something specific that says you can.

[Iron Dragoon]

Drat. Okay.

'Let's find the source. We can't bypass anything until we do that. Do we want to leave him or keep him with us? Or Ianvasah, can you shift into something that can tunnel us up?'

[Anastasia]

'I can turn into an elemental,' Ianvasah says, 'Step back.'

'We'll have to leave him,' Bastian cuts in, 'He's a liability in combat.'

'You're right,' Emily says quietly, 'We can only pray that this isn't so spiteful as to try and kill him even now.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'If nothing else, Ianvasah can make a cubby to hide him in.'

[Anastasia]

Ianvasah becomes the earth, surging forward and tearing into the stone...and yet?

Nothing really seems to happen. Stone and ash is moved but no progress is made. 'It's not right,' she says after several tries. It's not going anywhere even when I move something.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'What about creating?'

[Anastasia]

'If I could cast magic right now, I would,' Ianvasah says, 'Can you?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'I don't know silent casting... A weakness I might have to look into. Well, I suppose we have no choice to but try to camouflage him as best we can in one of the rooms and keep going.'

[Anastasia]

How do you plan to camouflage him, then?

[Iron Dragoon]

Just like hide him behind crates and stuff in the rooms. if there are any.
