With Lunk only an eighth of his weight, he’s still heavier than most cats… but Savi can handle him now.
“Aw, Lunk… you used that spell you hate just for me.”
If there are any open portals, Savi pushes Lunk in whatever direction he wills himself, her buff, flickering skin lighting the way.
As Lunk and Savi enter a corridor at random they are pulled along by some unseen force, unable to move faster or resist. The Corridor writhes and sways before you.
As Nik asks his question before he can cast his spell he sees the 6 visages surrounding the shaft of light. They turn towards him their spindly claws ready to tear him apart.
Visage description
They appear as wispy translucent spirits with frightening white masks where their heads should be. They have no legs and float through the air. Sprouting from their main mass are a pair of arms that end in thin long claws.
Savi uses both hands and a foot to push against Lunk.
“Lunk, my foot is gonna be up your ass!”
Lunk rotates himself, angling to one side so Savi can push on a single buttock.
“Ah! Way less awkward this way. Thanks, buddy!”

Rinika shoots an annoyed yet invisible glare at Nik walking in right behind her and slips out of the room, whispering "Idiot. I'm going back."
"Er- gotta go!" Nik says before casting Black Tentacles and running away.
Even though Nik's tentacles are anemic from his prior encounters with a specter and a magical trap they still manage to grasp the visages and crush them mercilessly.
A few short seconds later Nik and Rinika (invisible still) emerge from corridor with looks of concern on their faces. They are shortly followed by a trio of visages ready to tear the wizard apart.
"What are these things? Cane they be kilt?"
Glimmerhoof draws a javelin and readies an attack to throw it at one when she has a clear view.
The super-tiny but super-muscular fairy struggles to push her mini-gaint friend. “Unnngggg…! Any other tricks ya got to make yourself lighter?!”

Rinika casts invisibility on Nik and then moves away.
Helios jumps back at the sight of the the strange creatures popping in the room. He doesn't notice Rinika and Nik, though.
Seeing Nik and the visages appear, Conor floats towards to visages and the suddenly disappearing Nik and slashes downward with his greatsword.

Attack, PA, FF: 1d20+11 =》(1) + 11 = 12
Nik (invisibly) brushes past Jek as he runs floats for his life, not yet realizing that he's invisible.
"More of those creepy mask guys. Anyone want to be big?" Nik asks as he pulls out a scroll.
When he tries to start reading it, he's puzzled by his inability to see any of the words... or his hands... or his arms...

"Nik? Where'd you go? Is Rinika fine?"
Jek charges across taking aim at the Visage in front of Conor.
Glimmerhoof holds her javelin aloft ready but the opportunity never comes. Helios doesn’t hesitate and lands two arrows, one into the cloud of its body, which plants solidly, another cracks its mask-like face. Nik retreats and wonders what’s happening to him while Conor advance and waves his greatsword about menacingly. Jek follows and spears one of them. Then things start to get weird....
You find yourself on a ship, a flying ship, high above a war wracked city. Tendrils of smoke jut up into the sky not completely obscuring the battle that rages around you. Cannon fire downs a nearby ship raining splinters of wood on the city below. The ship you're standing on rocks backwards, threatening to unceremoniously dump you, another vessel has rammed your port side, and then another visage flies from the ramming ship.
Rinika feels a spider crawling on her shoulder but then sees Nanci has climbed onto her shoulder.
Cuddles spins around curiously, fondling bits of the airship.
"Oh hells, not this again. These guys can mess with our heads. Anyone know how to break illusions?" Nik says as he puts his scroll away.
Nik decides that he's more useful (and safe) if he figures out the trick than if he tries to fire a bolt or two, and he casts Detect Magic.

Nik sees magic!
"Ah my! Whut is going on hair?"
Glimmerhoof snorts, an launches the previously unthrown javelin at the Tendril.
Glimmerhoof's javelin flies through the air and strikes true but she blinks and the projectile is gone with the visage unharmed.
Helios feels a sharp pain in his stomach and notices the javelin has stuck in his side.
"Illusions! Illusions are going on here! Ugh, they're really too effective..."
Maybe I should figure out a way to use 'em myself...

You can't cast a spell while concentrating on another one. Some spells last for a short time after you cease concentrating.
"What the-"
The change of scenario makes Helios suspect, but he has no time to think about it when he sees another creature coming into their boat. He picks an arrow and... suddenly a javelin is stuck into his flank.
"Ugh..."
So... maybe there's actually something going on here..."[/b]
"Damn!" He realises he's lost his time staring too much and runs back to be guarded behind Autumn .

"This again? Uh... I'm going to back up slowly. Don't follow me."
"Nik, wasn't their weakness friendship?!"
"Yeah. Thanks for reminding me that the tentacles didn't work and my shamblers aren't here." Nik calls back.

"Dangit, not again. Begone, foul magicks! Or whatever"
Rinika casts Dispel Magic.

While the scene doesn't change your position within it shifts and wavers, most of you find yourself in slightly different places than you expect. No one is able to force their minds to see what their senses should actually be seeing. Except Nanci begins to frantically tap on Rinika's shoulder.
Lunk and Savi
You're deposited into another nearly empty sphere of black metal with no light. A cloud of red mist floats near the center but does not move. You can year the sounds of a woman speaking another corridor directly in front of you, "Dangit, not again. Begone, foul magicks! Or whatever" Four other corridors exit this sphere one to the left, right, down, and up.
"Everything here is so strange, I cane-not balieve mai eyes!"
“I can’t believe my eyes either,” Savi replies to the mysterious female voice that is way more bellowy than that myowy voice that complained about magic. She goes on, “We’re finally away from that grinning skull guy!
“Okay, Lunk. Let’s make some nonfouly magic so I don’t get fly-swatted to death.”
As Lunk plays his ocarina, Savi wills Dancing Lights in hues of green, blue, red and fuchsia. “ATTENTION, NICE LADIES. WE ARE NOT LOVELOST. PLEASE DO NOT FLYSWAT ME, OR ELSE I WILL BE SAD OR DEAD OR BOTH.”
She can feel Lunk’s look.
Lunk is actually looking past the fairy as she attempts to maintain her glow.
Lunk uses his Mockingbird talent to throw the sound of his ocarina music, which sounds like creaks and squeaks and whistling wind and… bubbles? It’s almost musical, as if Savi’s globes of light are dancing to the whirling sounds.
"Uh...They're hiding as Helios and Conor! Thanks Nansi, keep it up. No doi they're not lovelost, they're visages...wait since when did visages talk?"
Then Rinika will try to disbelieve.
"Hey, nothing wrong with the skull guy! He just has a long face... and now he's happy here... and he doesn't listen anymore...he doesn't need me anymore..." Nik says, at first sounding indignant but then increasingly morose.
The dancing lights disappear shortly after entering the corridor their fate is unknown to Lunk and Savi.
