Gargoyle - Speak with Dead
Date: June 22 435 PDW
Currently disguised as her sister.
"Do you recognize me?"
Gargoyle:
"Yes"
[Detect Thoughts:] She sees vague ideas of the target, the sister, the mother. It recognizes Yelena as the sister, but there is not further association.
"What happens to your soul when your body is destroyed on the Material?"
Gargoyle:
"Lost. Cannot return."
[Detect Thoughts:] Riga sees fear. Doubt. The feeling of being stranded for decades, the anger and pain and frustration.
"How many of you exiled fiends are left on the Material?"
Gargoyle:
"Tens. Hundreds. Thousands, perhaps."
[Detect Thoughts:] it does not know the exact number, just that there are many. Its mind jumps to Jurdea, to wizards, to souls bound to crystal hearts.
[Riga]
"The crystal hearts. Who bound your souls to them?"
[Detect Thoughts:] Riga glimpses wizards in wide stone chambers, standing over rows upon rows of statues. Trees with roots of crystal and blood digging into the earth. Flames burning until rock is molten, and cries of impotence as time erodes all but leaves no exit.Some look like these bat-like designs. Some, like soldiers. Others, like earth elementals.
[History 29] *Riga recognizes the attire as resembling typical Jurdean wear, specifically pre-founding of the Wizard nation of Rutram during the Draconic Wars. She does, however, recognize one face that is very specific. She has glanced over statues depicting this man in Bluetrench, speaking of the great advancements brought about by their work.
He is dead. Should be dead.*
See Keothi Diram
He was one of a good number of wizards there
[Riga]
"When did you precisely see him last, in flesh or soul?"
Gargoyle
"During the war, moments before we laid waste to children of the elements."
