"Madam, that is indeed bad news." the Talking Book commented.
Virvipop took a few moments to think.
"Talking Book" she said, "How dangerous is the room on this moment."
"Well, madam, I would not dare go in their. That room is under direct control of the Succubus. She will even be able to warp herself or her magic into it, anytime she wants. Not to speak of the unstability of the warp. I sense this Succubus is fairly young, and has not completely mastered interdimensional warping."
Ludge frowned. "She can warp herself in? You mean she is not in this house?"
"Physically, no. She still is in her dimension." the Talking Book said.
"She could, but that would be her own doom." Virvipop commented. "Warping, that is"
"Why?"
"Succubus' are weaker demons. They must return to their dimension to regain their Eldritch powers. They can source all their powers to warp themselves into the material world, but they would not be able to return without a magic source, such as a summoner's magic, or a warp.
Warps are some kind of open doors between the dimensions. She can enter and leave this warp without limitation. The only danger is, that when to much of one dimension enters the room, it becomes highly unstable and vulnerable for..."
"Ermm... very interesting and all, but shouldn't you try to actually... save Rocc?" Ludge interrupted.
While Virvipop was giving her lengthy explanation, the tentacle had wounded itself completely around Rocc, and was now swaying him around.
Very faints 'Help me' could be heard every time the tentacle stopped briefly before it started another sweep.
"Uhmm... yes. Talking Book, how large is the possibility the warp will collapse?"
"Assuming Rocc is the only matter in the room, and the fact considerable Demon matter is present, the chance is less then three procent."
"Very well, then."
Virvipop once again entered the room.
As Virvipop looked back, she noticed Ludge and the corridor faded.
Apparently, this was a self-sustaining warp, that was not relying on any dimension. It was 'hovering' between both dimensions.
Cautiously, she started to make her way to the tentacle, trying to prevent any contact with the objects in the room.
Suddenly, the void-liquid and flying objects vanished.
"What the-"
A sinister laugh filled the room. An otherworldy, female voice spoke.
"Ah, magician. Welcome, to my playgrounds! I see you have had the courage to save this elf. Or have I mistaken courage for dumbness?
No matter, you will find that my inter-dimensional warp is fading away as I speak. By removing MY matter, I have broken the fragile balance in here.
I challenge you into a time duel."
A white line sprouted infront of her feet. It began to draw some sort of maze across the floor.
"This maze is unvulnerable for the fading. If you manage to follow it, despite the obstacles, and do not stray of it, you shall arrive at your dear elven friend."
As she said this, the white line stopped just in front of the tentacle.
"However, notice that Rocc is still vulnerable for the fading of this warp.
If you arrive in time, you may save him. If the void arrives sooner, I will have the pleasure of seeing him getting crushed between dimensions."
The otherworldy voice laughed again.
"Since I respect magicians, I will grant you the ability to warp back to your dimension at any given time, at your desire. Now, the challenge begins."
And as she finished her speech, the edges of the room began to dissapear into darkness.
Unwilling to lose Rocc, Virvipop stepped on the white line.
