Upon These Stones

[Rezantis]

"We're going to have to bail him out of there.  Hopefully Bjorn will be able to convince them straight, otherwise we may have to apply diplomatic pressure."

[Dracos]

"Patience.  Bjorn's in a much better position at the moment to do it, and if we stick our heads in it'll just make it harder.  Besides, if they are convinced Paul is a traitor then political pressure to help him out would be a bad idea.  Anyhow....  I've been thinking on what they said.  About with time being able to pull stuff back and forth?"

Dracos pondered focusing on his real form, on visualizing it, on seeing what he could feel and grab and pull from it.

[Rezantis]

Rez eyes Drac.  "I'm going to go unilateral on this if it looks like they're going to execute him, your approval or not.  And . . . yeesss?"

[Dracos]

"Duh....I'm not going to let him get executed.  At the same time.... there is what works and what doesn't.  Need I remind you we know someone who can walk around invisible and as I recall, has sort of a task of keeping us somewhat alive?"

Dracos focuses on his telepathy.

~Well, for one, there is the obvious communication we have...  but beyond that, haven't we been thinking a touch too physically restrictive in our thoughts on what can be brought over?~

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Rez jumps again and quashes a burst of instinctive terror.

"I . . . er . . . keep forgetting you can do that.  And you can remind me, at which point I'll inform you that Lord Kevin knows that as well and she's incarcerated.  And how do you mean?  Your mind-reading-fu could be handy, I agree, but what else can we bring over?"

Rez ponders, then produces the gauntlet and warbag.  "Now there's a thought . . ."

[Dracos]

Dracos, on a whim, tries to bring over himself.

Dracos

[Dracos]

Dracos shakes his head as he changes, keeping his voice low.  "It's a dream after all?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Nathan's eyes widen in surprise.

"That is interesting, although . . ." Nathan eyes the Dracos-in-armour-three-times-his-size, "that can't be comfortable."

There's a slight pause.

"This isn't quite so simple as just a dream," Nathan comments reproachfully, "Ezmereth told us that much . . . and besides which that's the Pax and Cabal mindset.  These people and this place are as real as we are, as as I see it."

[Dracos]

Dracos releases 'himself', changing back.   "Well, it's more complicated than that, for sure, but do you really want to go into existential philosophy?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Not really. But this world is as real as ours, as far as I could tell from what Ezmereth said . . . not that I entirely understand this.  You should know by now that a dream is more than just that."

Rez grins and flexes his hand.

"Anyway, I have an experiment with the warbag," he says, opening the aforementioned up and removing a copper coin, "Liandral was able to hold mundane items here since he had a trick to bring them.  I'm wondering if I actively tried to hold some of these things here after dispelling the gauntlet . . . it's something to be tried, anyway."

Rez tries to concentrate on keeping the copper coin here much the same way as the gauntlet, before gradually letting the gauntlet go.

[Brian]

A fascinating hypothesis with a dissapointing result.

Everything in the warbag seems to be linked to the warbag, even when it's removed.  Though, you can retain things as long as you keep the gauntlet.

[Dracos]

Dracos stretches out a bit, focusing on being as fast as he is used to, trying to draw on only that aspect of himself as he stands up.  "No go?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Nope, no go," Rez hums, "Ezmereth spoke of us forcing objects not of the dream to be here, though . . . well, hey."

Rez gets rid of the gauntlet, tries halfheartedly to get his wallet, then stands up and stretches.

"So, what else do we need to do today?"

[Dracos]

Dracos taps his forehead, "I think questioning a few mages...might be a good thing to do.  Also...I think we can take in part too.  But want to go grab some food until Alec gets back with Bjorn or Bjorn finds us?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"If we're waiting for Bjorn, we'd probably better not leave."

Rez considers for a moment.

"You're the king, go order a pizza or something."
