Temporal pixies

[Anastasia]

Sanzha could at least, she's literally a goddess over water with divine water mastery so she cheats.

[Nephrite]

In that case whoever can hear can hear him laughing like normal!

Onward!

[Anastasia]

It's a deep lake - and as you head further down, you see the bottom. At this bottom rests an elegant dome of pink and purple coral, woven together to be as solid as stone. It's quite large, large enough to hold a castle within.

[Nephrite]

This place is just full of surprises.

He continues down, looking for something resembling an entrance or some hole in the coral.

[Anastasia]

More and more curious.

You descend down and find something like that, sure enough. A plain archway in, nothing stopping you from swimming inside.

[Nephrite]

Onwards he goes, with an eye out for anything suspicious or magical in nature.

You can assume he's always Perception-ing for 97 and Arcane Sight-ing with Spellcraft for 114 and K:A for 119.

[Anastasia]

Cresiel goes first, leading the way as the party heads within. Inside of the dome sit sphere of clear air, where within little whirlwinds can be seen. They simply float within, watching with eyes of gusts and water vapor. There are dozens and dozens of them about, each one held in a bubble.

[Nephrite]

Hello, can you understand us? Do you have a leader?

But what in the world are they even doing in here? Are they trapped, or is this a home for them?

Is the coral dome pretty much entirely taken up by the sphere, or is the sphere just part of it?

[Anastasia]

There's many lesser spheres and it's mostly taken up by them.

There is a reply, currents of wind blowing. Meaning comes from them. They are aware and watching. They wish to be freed and soar everywhere.

[Nephrite]

Moore will switch to speak in their language - a task that might've been a challenge for him before, but is easy enough now.

He will convey questions - who put them in these spheres? How did they come to be here at all, if they know?

Also a quick alter reality for something like Detect Evil but boosted so it's just 'Detect Alignment' so I know these aren't all horrible EVIL WINDs.

[Anastasia]

The winds are firmly neutral.

They don't know, they've always been in them.

[Nephrite]

Is it me, or do you all find it odd that no one here seems to know how they came to be here? He announces to the others.

I have no objections to freeing them, especially since we don't seem to see anyone around who's explaining to us why they're all here to begin with.

And doing the standard 'do these things have souls' check.

Also, are the spheres magical? If so, I'd like to use Epic Spellcraft to identify the caster of them.

[Anastasia]

That is unusual. It may be nothing, or perhaps something here can take memories and is in charge.

The creatures have souls and the spheres are magical - they're simply self maintained air bubbles that keep creatures within stuck within.

[Nephrite]

Can my Epic Spellcraft of 114 discern the spellcaster's name?

[Anastasia]

The caster is named Hajolaes.
