Again?! LE! I think you are cursed, possessed, or worse... When we get back to Wydmoor, I'm going to insist that the Hadriarch give you an exorcism or something. I thought it was just a gryhuld (OOC: which means 'weak dwarf' in dwarven, and typically refers to a very rare unfortunate thing) when you inhaled that massive dark wolf in the swamp when we first set out. Then you killed Edrell's sister despite pleas to take her alive...

Lately you've been so eager to finish off monsters through some sort of magic-- and the look of ...power in your eyes after you do so-- it just makes me shudder. And now, like clockwork, that spirit of an ancient evil gets sucked into you once we defeat it.

Now, I know you, LE, and have trusted you with my life many times, but I think perhaps there is some darker force influencing you that you don't know about. It's time we asked the Church about this-- because if nothing else, it's surely not healthy to inhale corrupted magical smoke! They can help you.

Man.. I'm with the dwarf dude. LE's either got some major malfunction or she's been holding something back this whole time, or both. Whatever's going on, there's something you're not telling us, and it's starting to seem like something BIG. I mean, barfing up some centipedes is one thing, probably happens to lots of people, but breathing in a dead undead dude's smokey remains... trails off a little If you want us to help you, you have to tell us what's going on. It seems both evil and unnatural, so we need to do everything we can to help you get rid of it. We like you, dudette! We don't want to see you breathing in any more dead things, or vomiting up any more live things! makes a heal check on LE for lack of anything better to do

Eggs's been trying to help, he reads... he needs to be stronger, learn more.

It's him, he's always there, in here (touching her head and chest). I can feel him, he can see me, I can't hide, so he knows everything.

I won't lie, Egg - and myself, and Kimika, too, for that matter - know a little more about what's going on here than the rest of you. Only a little, though. Research is slow going, especially with this damn war taking up so much of our time and attention. But, I think her wanting to keep her cards close to her chest in regards to this is perfectly understandable, especially with Mose's predictably unstable reaction. That said, perhaps Al is right that the time to have a more frank and open discussion about what's going on here. But, let me say this: Whatever is going on, we're keeping it compartmentalized.. keeping it in the family. We are absolutely not going to serve up LE to the Hadriarch and into the hands of our enemies. It will end badly for her, and frankly, for the rest of us, too. LE is our friend, and it's her problem to solve, which means it's our problem to solve. If it's even solvable.

Mose, you want the Church to look into this? Well, they are. Kimika is a representative of the church, and has been working with LE for months. Hells, Mose, you're the Church, too, and it would probably serve the needs of your friend to act more like a friend and less like an antagonist when she's at her most vulnerable. If a simple exorcism or some other Churchy hand-waving would take care of this, it'd be taken care of already.
