Eudial clutched her chest. Technically she did have a working heart, which was currently banging against her ribcage, but not spiritually... and she nearly had a heart attack. "Could... could I have at least SOME warning first?" she said weakly. "I'm really not fond of people just suddenly appearing next to me..."

Recovering, Eudial assumed her usual mood and recounted to Gaunt all that George and Anjushree had told them, and of the party's findings about Doomforall.

However, when it came to vice-versa, Gaunt's point about the executive at that PTT Headquarters got Eudial suspicious... surely that thing was another source of rift, or one of its... henchmen, maybe? It couldn't hurt to find out more... but that damn hostage situation... urrrgh...

"Uh, we're in an equipment room of some kind," muttered Eudial. "I guess it wants to know what we want. Er... I guess I'll go first." She cleared her throat and addressed the voice. "There's a huge figure in several layers of rift armour taking some people hostage in the town nearby. It's at a University in its Department of Interdminsional studies. Do you have any weapon or contraption that may prove advantageous against this rift figure?"
