[Nerjin]

Shaking himself off and standing up Ganron replies "It's fine but what was that?"

"A question I would like answered as well." Plius stated as he warily eyed the crying Gnome.

There are no active spells you can detect.

[Tawa]

"My friend here simply wished to ask the gnome a few questions, so I was going to use magic as an interrogation aide. There is... something horribly wrong and... powerful about this gnome."

[Nerjin]

"Powerful? But how did the Commander defeat him if he's that powerful? I was there, the Gnome got a few hits on the Commander but was easily defeated afterwards. He's afraid of the dark for crying out loud!" Plius complained though he maintained a careful distance.

"He is correct. Master Bill defeated the Gnome rather easily... Are you sure it wasn't just that he has mental defenses in place?"

[Tawa]

"Perhaps..."

You know what, Spellcraft check to figure out what that thing from before was, too. Also take 20.

[Nerjin]

You honestly have no idea. It could have been multiple spells but it... No, you're certain now that it wasn't a spell. It was pure arcane energy released all at once. As you think of it, it felt a lot like the negative energy Jake used to channel only purer.

[Tawa]

"No. I am sure of it. This is something much worse than it appears. Keep this maniac under the best defenses you have. Use magic if you can."

[Nerjin]

"Well at your command. Shall I take him away now or are there other... Questions?" Plius, you notice, seemed equally wary to get near the gnome and eager to take him away.

[Tawa]

"I could care less. Depends upon what my friend here--" --Galia indicates Bill-- "--wants to do with him. He's the one who asked in the first place."

[PrivateNomad]

Riki is chilling around.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Bill sits in thought for a few moments, pondering the question.
"You can have him. Zoe, a word before you go."
Off to the side with Zoe, "I need you get them to give you visiting rights. I have more questions for him."

Once Pilius, Zoe and Glin are out of earshot, Bill turns to Galia.
"Sorry about that. Now, I'll deliver, but I still have a question for you."
He hands her the drawing of the Elf.

A beautiful Elf wearing a semi-circle of small jewels on her forehead. You can just picture the emeralds sparkling beneath her hair. You have no doubt that this is a drawing of one of the seven who had foiled your plots.

"Recognize her? You should. She stabbed you in the gut once or twice, if I recall. After the heros' party split, she stayed here, and joined or maybe started an anti-mage movement. She almost killed the gnome, but failed."
Bill givers her a moment to study the picture. "Now, you need to tell me exactly what happened back there. Do you have any idea what's controlling him?"

[Tawa]

"Ugh, her. Anti-mage, eh? When we get there, I'll hold her down if you stab her."

"Anyway, all I can say is that whatever it is, it's not from the Material Plane, it's got a grip on him I can't break, just yet, at least, and it's using an obscene amount of negative energy. Oh, and it somehow gave me a mental reply when I tried to cast a spell."

[Nerjin]

Spoiler: Galia (click to show/hide)

"Obscene? Is it obscene how much of the Material plane you are using?" You hear the voice again... That's not good. Not good at all.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Bill looks condescendingly at Galia and responds sarcastically, "Deal. Not of the Material Plane and negative energy? Have you considered that it might be of the Negative Energy plane?"

[Tawa]

"Wait. Stop. Bill. Get help. It's back. I hear it. The... the voice."

Galia shudders, panicking slightly. Maybe more than slightly.

[Nerjin]

"Oh stop your panicking. Our connection will fade in a moment. Unless you attempt to take what is mine again we can be friends. After all, I would hate to hurt my parents. Hahahaha." The laugh, though humorless, appears genuine.
