The Last Oddetsey

There is a brief pause and the faint indecipherable muffled sound of talking outside, and then footsteps towards the rooms.

EUDIAL:

The door to Eudial's room slides open.

"Good news young lady. I am able to inform you that we have detected in you some psychic powers. Not high level ones you understand me, and seemingly tied in to your pyromancy abililities largely. With a bit of training, we suspect we could get your abilities to be able to sophisticated, as well as potentially instantaneously generate it without the use of spells. If you wish we can introduce you to a pyrokinesis tutor for a crash course of your choice?"

If you want to do one we can offer one of fire generation, fire shields, fire weapon, fire flight or fire form. We can only provide one without becoming a full member however."

Your friend Mr Gaunt, he has already left, although he was unfortunately unsuccessful, I think he went off to explore the city"

LELAND

Moving through the corridors until out of earshot of Eudial, Seben arrives at the room of Leland Gaunt and rather than opening the door, he slides open a panel in it.

"Mr Gaunt, your chakra are incorrectly aligned for psionic abilities, however, as a very magical creature you can still be of use to us. You will not be rescued, your friends think you have left already."

With that he slams the small hatch shut, and suddenly Leland feels pain in his chest - small pinpoints of light spring up in the walls of the room and weakness rockets through him, forcing him to lean heavily against the wall. The implication is strongly that he is having his magic leached.

The room contains: 5 Magazines. A basic bed. A chair. A small bathroom unit. A pot plant. A small television showing a soap opera that seems to be showing something vaguely similar to Romeo and Juliet, starring a family of Amoebas and a Family of Talking Musical Instruments.

PLAYZOOKI

After running away for inexplicable reasons from the entirely neutral guards who had just been standing there minding their own business, Playzooki finds himself right dab in the middle of the Infamous Beige Light District. Here people come to pay money to complain to other people about how people these days aren't moral and how things were better in their day. He passes the front door of an elderly woman who is discussing how cheese used to be better in her day and he notes lots of Daily Mail clippings on her noticeboard.

It seems that great evil has worked its way even here....

CLEO

It would seem that the test for known psychics is a lot quicker, as suddenly Cleo feels the presence of the young woman in her mind, although simultaneously becomes aware that the easygoing young woman is not entirely who she appears. The form they see is merely a projection over something else.... A disembodied mind, ascended from a mortal form which lies helplessly in a hideous machine far away, deep in the bowels of the earth, trapped in constant agony for thousands of.....

"Well I think that is quite enough of that" says the woman known as the Brain of Krull bruskly.

"In fact I think you might be just the sort of person I am looking for... please follow me... and don't say anything, I have a job for you of the utmost importance."

She heads off down a small spiral staircase.
