Eli nodded at Rolo's remarks. "Indeed Rolo, that's a wise idea. Better to clip her wings first, so to speak."
Rubbing his chin thoughtfully he turned to Rand.
"Hoping this Mage will fall into the portable hole doesn't sound like a very practical plan. However, I am at a lost as to the best course of action to deal with her undoubted superiority in the Arcane Arts. The only thing that comes to mind is that it would be better if she didn't get a chance to cast spells at all!"

The hob's face broke into a grin that was ear-to-ear as Eli praised his "wise thinking" ... but, faded just as quickly at the mage's closing remarks that there seemed to be no obvious way to deal with that creature at the altar.
"Keeping her from casting spells ... would a "Silence" be enough you think? Perhaps if one were cast on me, I could sneak in close enough to have it affect her as well? ... assuming I could see her of course ... and she doesn't see me until it is too late."
"I'm just a bit worried that she may not be 'tied' to that altar as much as I'd like to hope ... and having her come along while we were battling her minions would not be a good thing ... we should have some sort of plan for dealing with her if necessary."

Eli looked around at the others as they sat in the Inn at the Keep. Some were looking worse for wear after their all day session at the bar the day before. Eli cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Well, ahem, you'll be pleased to know that Rolo, Rand and I found the location of the mysterious Tower." He paused a moment to wait for a reaction and then continued.
"We also know when it will appear again, so, should we decide to see where it goes when it disappears, we will be able to."

"Aye, indeed we did!" Rolo exclaimed, his head nodding up and down.
"It is an interesting place ... another place actually ... not a tower at all ... only looks like one from outside. There were grounds and a wall and lots of big bugs in there ... but you can't "see" the place you entered from. I didn't wander very far before I realized that there was no reference to guide me back to where I had started ... perhaps I was fortunate to be able to come back out the way I went in. We might want to pack a lunch or two before we decide to go back there ... just in case."

Free at last!
"What a waste of time these ruins did not have anything of interest. No traces of the lost race called Gelfling, no book about Acererak or Keraptis or Vecna. No rare plants that could be used somehow. By Obad-Hai why did we go there again?"
The large wolf looked at the gnome speaking for a moment and left to chase a rabbit.
"Oz come back, we must leave this place at once."
The gnome looked around for a sign perhaps. "Should we go this way?"

Barrin looked up from his ale. "Oi? Ye found the tower? What'd ye find 'sides some bugs? It be a place we should be lookin in?"

Rolo tuned toward at the dwur.
"Well, I actually didn't see much of the place. I had seen Rand's foot go right through the steps as he was trying to get to the door, and was thinking the whole thing might be an illusion of sorts. So I decided to just walk through the tower wall and see what was inside ..."
"I was expecting to be "inside" a tower ... or at least still on the hill where the tower appeared at the very least ... but I wasn't. I found myself in another place ... outside a wall, but the kind that surrounds an estate; not a tower. There was a gate nearby and I went to take a look inside. It was grounds of some sort, I believe there was a structure in the distance, and I want to say there was a graveyard of sorts nearby; but there were LOTs of rather large beetles wandering about and being alone, I was ... er, "felt" that perhaps I should rejoin the others."
"That was when I noticed, there was nothing showing me where I had "entered" the place from. So I carefully tried to retrace my steps and return to the place where I had entered and found myself back on the hill with Rand and Eli here!"
"It wasn't much longer after that and the whole thing vanished into the mists from which it came."
Rolo was unable to suppress a shiver, and took a rather long pull from his mug of ale.

Grumni wore a mask of confusion.
"A tower that's a tower but isn't actually a tower?" He scratched his head. "Are yer sure yer didn't bang yer head or something?" He took a swig of ale thoughtfully.
"Yer didn't smoke any of them weird roots I saw them pilgrims smoking did yer?" The dwarf continued with a raised eyebrow.

Rand listens to Rolo tell his story. Then listens to the reactions.
"I believe him!
He said there were bugs in there.
I know what to do to bugs.
I say let's pack a lunch and see what's what for ourselves."

"hmmm ..." The hob stroked his chin as he contemplated Grumni's question.
"No, didn't bang my head and wasn't smoking anything, or anything of the sort. There was that mist everywhere though ... perhaps it was affecting my mind?"
"It seemed real enough! Once inside or wherever it was that I went, I could not see Eli or Rand anymore ... and judging from their reaction when I returned, they couldn't see me either -- I must have went somewhere."
"No, I think the place was real, just not "here" ... sort of like the inside of that hole Rand has. You think it might be the inside of another of those portable holes? Hmmm, I wonder what would happen if we tried to use that hole in there ... do you think it would even work? I wonder if we can even take it in?" Rolo finished his ale and set the empty mug down as he pondered the ramifications of his latest thoughts.

As the party bartered with the fat merchant, Barrin rummaged through his pack. "Once ye get the money situated, I be needin me share. I only be havin two kits and they not be near 'nough. With one, I can bring most of ye back to almost full health provided I not be distracted by fightin. And with two, I can patch us all up; so I'd like ta carry 'least ten or more whenever possible. 'Sides, the fat merchant may have somethin or 'nother I could be usin. That and the priest has some good potions that'll get rid of that bird sickness."

"Well Barrin, I've got 2 bags of gold with your name on it and a few more coins to boot ... total of 607 coins. Same with Eli ... as soon as you two get a free moment, I'll be glad to let you spend it or pack it ... rather heavy actually."

"Yeah, I need some of them there heal kits as well. I had to use one of my good ones from the Castellan. After seeing Mendel's price for one of the good ones, I think I'll be saving that last one for a really, really dire situation.
But, yeah, need more kits and stuff."
*goes back to drinking his ale*

* with the others still in front of the merchant stand *
"I hate to sound negative... really. I am really happy to have met you all as only a few days ago I had nothing left following an unexpected incident. Now, you made me rich, that's good right? Except that there is no way I am going to carry twice my weight in gold. Do you really expect an under fifty pounds adventurer to handle that much weight with a smile?"

"I can take some of that gold off'n your hands. If that's what you want."
Rand grins mischeviously at the gnome.

* look a bit suspicious *
"Ah yes Rand but... Can I trust you with my fortune?" * looking at Rolo * " How do you manage? We are about the same size and all or at least it seems to me. Or are you one of these tough hobbit able lift a horse?"
* look worried *
"Seen any large canis lupus around? Or did the bugger found a rabbit hole? Wait, was he eaten by those big spider? Noooo"

Barrin looked at Rand, then at the Gnome before frowning. "Don listen ta 'im, lad. If'n ye give 'im yer coin, 'e'll just spend it on booze and women if'n he be gettin the chance. Best if ye just find a way ta carry it or give it ta 'nother."

Eli heard the exchanges going on behind him but he didn't join in as his eyes were fixed on a shiny new crossbow at the merchant's stall. The price was very steep but the workmanship was of a high quality. With so many animals and undead about, he thought it prudent to supplement his magical abilities with a more mechanical item.
