Rift creatures... Eudial's brain, tired from the previous situations, had to go back to the grindstone here. Why was she resistant to the rift? Did she possess some quality that made her immune to it, perhaps? And what EXACTLY were these creatures? What was "The Sucker"? Why is this world so damned weird...

But the many questions that were boiling in her mind, she knew had no current answers, and it was useless to dwell on them. She glared at Vortigon again, glanced at Gaunt, then Cleo, and then came to rest on the recent acquiantance, the Brain of Krull or whatever she was called.

An idea came to her... a truly foolish idea, but an idea nonetheless. "Does the thing respond to sounds?" Eudial questioned, hopeful for at least one answer.
