A book and many things to do

[Anastasia]

Bastian begins to jet up and away from it while he sends back, 'I'm fine. You?'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Burns a little, but nothing I can't heal for both of us once we're clear.'

[Anastasia]

'Then move!' Bastian sends back.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa head off with Bastian, keeping an eye for movement in the ash.

[Anastasia]

Below you see it - the ash is shifting, moving. Stirring, rippling far below as the of you rise up.

'Could be a few things,' Bastian says, 'None worth the fight.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'It should lose interest if we get far enough away. Come here, I'll teleport us.'

[Anastasia]

Bastian comes on over at that.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa uses Dimension Door again get them as far away as she can!

[Anastasia]

More distance again, the ash below you still now. Bastian exhales, "Good," he speaks aloud. "One of the many reasons no one lives in Ash."

[Iron Dragoon]

'What was it?'

Alyssa begins casting Vigorious Circle!

Fast healing 3 for 40 rounds.

[Anastasia]

'An ash worm, an ash wyrm, an ash winder or anything like that. The natives aren't creative, but there's a few too many predators who go through the ash like water,' Bastian replies.

[Iron Dragoon]

'Hm. Well, shall we keep looking or head back? I'm sure we've attracted attention with that thing blowing ash all around.'

[Anastasia]

A click of his tongue, 'They're out here somewhere, the cowards. But I think we need a different approach.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'Let's get out of here first, then think on it.'

[Anastasia]

How are you getting back?
