A book and many things to do

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa stays hidden and watches it, 'No, wait... It's a shapeshifter of some sort. Humanoid, red hair. Going to watch it and see if it shows us anything. Jarem, dispatch the reserve team to scout the second area if you think it's worth doing.'

[Anastasia]

'We'll hold for the moment,' Jarem says back, as the snake slithers and watches you.

[Iron Dragoon]

So it noticed me, or is this it just looking around?

[Anastasia]

It's not showing any outward sign, but it's also a snake. So y'know, hard to tell.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa will wait a few longer before she does anything else.

[Anastasia]

The snake lingers but is slithering away, in that slow way snakes tend to.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa watches it, hoping it reveals a secret passage, but will pin it with her TK before it looks like it'll disappear into the wall.

[Anastasia]

It slithers on away, into the shadows. It looks like it's going out of sight, you'd have to follow it.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa follows it, ready to pin it with TK if she thinks she's going to lose it.

[Anastasia]

The snake slithers into a small pile of ash and does not come out.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa shifts the ash, looking for an opening a snake can fit through.

[Anastasia]

With your hand or your TK?

[Iron Dragoon]

TK.

[Anastasia]

The ash is moved. The snake has just begin to curl up amid it, cover blown away as it looks up, hissing.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa snatches it up and floats it into the air.
