Endless rise above

[Anastasia]

"I will come," It says after some consideration.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "We can't teleport out of here, and we intend to deal with something on the way back, so stay near us but out of harm's way." Moore says.

Actually, let's invoke the last use of the spell now just to see if it suggests any questions I should ask of PRISM-amalgam.

[Anastasia]

Why did you agree so easily?

[Nephrite]

"Why did you agree to this so easily?" Moore asks.

While he's waiting for an answer, he's going to recast the spell in case he needs to ask any more questions. :)

Also take 10 on Sense Motive for 87 in case of weirdness.

[Anastasia]

"The dragon suggested I go." It answers, to the point.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns and glances back at the others.

"I didn't think you all had any sort of relationship." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"It was only a suggestion in form, not in meaning," Is the answer you get back.

[Nephrite]

"What is the difference between a suggestion in form and one in meaning?" Moore asks. "Is that like a suggestion rather than an order?"

[Anastasia]

'It means he said one thing while the meaning is something else," Cresiel speaks up here, "By his agreement with the Empty Knight I doubt he will truly order him to leave, but heavily suggest may well be acceptable."

[Nephrite]

"Hm." Moore says. "Well, we can sort out the details later. Please, come with us."

they will head out the same way they came in, assuming no interrupts!

[Anastasia]

Are you going to try and escape entirely or just back through the portal?

[Nephrite]

Go back through the portal to the Wyrm. From there we're going to see what we can do to split Synic and The Wyrm.

[Anastasia]

You return through the portal. No immediate sign of Synic, at least.

[Nephrite]

"We still need to find the core of this place." Moore says. "So far it's seemed like just the one hallway though..." Moore says. "Xandra, what does your intuition tell you? I think wherever the 'life' is coming from is where we need to do this."

This is a side question, is it possible for a deity to reach a soul that's passed on in some fashion? I'm not sure the rules that govern that.

In other words, I'd want to somehow see if we can reach Synic before trying what we're trying.

[Anastasia]

You could just directly communicate to it, sure.
