The Last Oddetsey

Gaunt shook his head.

"No, not in the slightest. He claimed I didn't meet their qualifications. He then decided to drain me completely and flooding the room was a rather desperate attempt to stop them. It seems to have worked... somewhat." Gaunt indicated his skin.

"In any case, I'm glad to see he's been dealt with. Well done. In return let me give you some advice: as long as we're in here or anywhere near these Psychic folks you'll want to keep up a strong mental block. I'm not sure if they have tongue-twisters where you're from, but I find them to be especially effective. It's not absolutely foolproof, but I was able to force someone out of my head at least twice with some great effort."

Gaunt then looked back at the prone carcass of Dr. Seben and smiled.

"Perhaps there's a supply closet or something we can stuff him in for the time being. No doubt they'd find him eventually unless we could vaporize him, but somewhere out of the way. It seems rather cliche, but there doesn't seem much else to do with him."

Eudial snorted. "Not my first choice, but... lead the way." She sighed, thinking about how many more psychic beings they'd have to fight through just to escape this place.

Leland locates what appears to be the supply closet, which has a sizable pile of boxes at the rear that are big enough to contain the late Dr Seben. They appear to contain the remnants of what presumably are vital supplies for the running of a psychic organization such as adult magazines, jars of raspberry jam and dreamcasts. There are plenty of other items round the storeroom in general that might be worth taking: various medicines and mineral infusions, bandages, a tank of leeches and an old MAGNET-TOES brand psyproof helmet.

"Excellent..." gloated the pyro-Witch. "There's more than enough space to... to..."

Her eyes found the remnants of supplies. "What the..." Adult magazines?! And the odd thing was they weren't even... about humans. She turned to Gaunt to say something, but then her jaw dropped. Gaunt had shuffled forward to collect the magazines. She spluttered. "What the HELL do you think you're doing?!?" No answer yet. Ugh...

Ignoring Gaunt as best as she could, Eudial's eyes gazed over the other objects. "Ooh..." Medicine... that would do in a pinch. She salvaged those. Then her eyes caught the mineral infusions. "Hey..." Eudial smiled wickedly; her alchemist side was raring to have a go at these. "These could be quite useful... I'll have them." She nicked the minerals as well.

Eudial also finds a rare candy.

What's this?

Eudial bent over and picked up the wrapped candy, raising an eyebrow. She shrugged and pocketed it. She then turned to Gaunt with a patronizing glare. "If you're done with that..." she growled. "We should hide this damn body."
