[@Eviledd1984] Surprised by Leonore's sudden entrance, Kara let out a little yelp and rose to her feet. "Oh! S-sorry about that. You startled me. I-I'm fine. We were just getting some food and relaxing." [@TheForgottenArc] "Sounds like an elf or maybe a half-elf" Kos remarked, thinking about it as he took the note. "Still, I am helping you with this. The least you could do is let me know what I ask about him. I'll wait before opening this, but if it doesn't contain anything substantial, I may have to reconsider giving you my aid. Seriously, I need to know what he did, for one thing." [@bloonewb] "It's not exactly [i]my[/i] energy. I'm a cleric, not a mage" Kali explained as she attempted what Kutur had asked her to do. She closed her eyes in concentration as a determined look came over her snout. "Still, if the gods will it, I should be able to focus their power... yes. I think it's working. Hold on." The image flickered above the page, lighting the tome up as Kutur had done. Kali opened her eyes and smiled. "Looks good, doesn't it?" [@SilverPaw] [color=00aeef]"If you expect me to help you with those supplies, then I am afraid I must disappoint you. In a few minutes, I will return to the elemental plane of air. Still, you have shown that you earnestly desire to do good and you are able to temper that desire with practicality. Possessing idealism and practicality in equal measures is a rare trait among mages, after all. I can give you this"[/color] The slyph reached into the folds of her clothing and pulled the blue talisman which Aerta had given her and touched it with two of her fingers. This caused the bauble to glow slightly, and there was a faint but definite glow around the gem." [color=00aeef]"I have modified the talisman to grant you my aid one time, should you need it. If the situation is desperate, smash the gem and I will be called to your location, as long as you are on the material plane or the elemental plane of air, and as long as I am not trapped or compromised in some way."[/color]
