Aldon will Detect Psionics on the urn.
Aldon presses on the foe with fist though somewhat diminished, his Psionic Focus expended a moment before to try and bring this dangerous foe down! Slam & Ki for Extra Damage - Critical? Fist Damage
Aldon charges around the back of the Goblin, seeking to set himself up for a strike. Samnell: Expend Psionic Focus for Psionic Fist & Ki for Extra Damage Fist Damage
Aldon begins to call out tactics to approach this foe with a coordinated effort!
Damn, too far to do much back here. Aldon moves forward with his companions ready to face this new foe.
Aldon bids the Construct to enter the eyes and see what happens then.
"Indeed, I do..." Aldon summons an Astral Construct and proceeds to have it do just that walking towards the Dragon Corpse. Also also Detects Psionics.
Aldon glances at Ranek and shrugs knowing that was not a very convincing approach to start. "The Way resonates within this place".
"Then it seems into the darkness we must go to uncover what lurks within..." Aldon will head through first attempting to detect psionics as he does so.
"Perhaps it was this presence, or series of, that I detected as we combated the vile elf? No matter, we should press on and finish what we set out to do. Though Barra's suggestion has merit, perhaps we can state our intention to eliminate those that dwell within this mountain that would threaten the locals. No doubt if all this being seeks is peace, destroying evil cultists will be helpful not harmful".
"Ware, there may be foes nearby!" Aldon will scan the area with Detect Psionics.
Aldon frowns, "Fading telepathy... I wonder if this is her passing on or if someone was mind scrying her as we battled".
Aldon will attempt to Detect Psionics upon the corpse of Lady Amkathra. The final act of the Astral Construct is to lay her on solid ground before it evaporates back into the ether from which it was summoned.
Either way is fine for me.
"Did this seem far too easy?"
Aldon will instruct his Construct to retrieve her from the water and raise her up so that she can be inspected more closely.
Aldon's flying construct swoops around taking advantage of the surrounded elf and attacking her with its Slam. Slam Attack - Damage
In the meanwhile Aldon focuses the Way to strike at the very mind of the Elf.
Aldon summons a being of pure energy from the Astral Planes.
Aldon takes a moment to inspire his allies to rally against this horrible foe whose time committing vile acts should be brought to an end!
Totally ready :-)
Aldon readies himself by gaining Psionic Focus, i seems a battle may well be inevitable and perhaps it is time this creature answered for hr ancient crimes. Perhaps not but she seems very unwilling to aid the group and what must be done, must be done.
"Hmmm", is Aldon's only reply.
Aldon whispers to Ari, Alzhedo:
"We do not know her sins. We can question her and perhaps give her a chance at redemption through freedom". Aldon removes the crystal from his pouch, "Know you how this works my Lady? It is an item of the Way not the Art but perhaps you have seen it or are familiar with who in this place may have used it? I hesitate to use it before I know more about it. Tell us about your true history. If you can name your crimes and repent them, perhaps we can help release you to aid us against this Copperdeath?"
Aldon manifests his Inertial Armor and take shis place at the center of the group.
Certainly Aldon knew it was psionic so no surprise to Aldon to be sure.
"From whence we rescued the children".
Aldon hands the crystal over to Oparil.
Aldon smiles slightly at the honorific, "In our travels I found something that I know to be on the Way in nature but I cannot divine its specific purpose, we were hoping that perhaps you could take a look at it and let us know if you can decipher its specific use?"
"Yes. Let us do that. Then we can head back to the enemy stronghold. This evil must be stopped! Then we can get back to our original quest".
"Sadly, I am not powerful enough to do so. Yet. I can relieve some symptoms suffered from the result of bed dreams. You all went through that as well last night eh? Before we do anything involving leaving town, I would like to get the crystal I acquired from the enemy stronghold looked at by a local Sage. Perhaps we can use it against our foe".

Need to level then I will address Marcus' question IC. RL keeps dragging me away from the bards these days!
Aldon experiences bad dreams as well. He wakes and begins focusing on the crystals he took from the foes' lair.
Aldon stays calm and embraces the Way, it seems a fight is inevitable as the children simply cannot be moved.
Aldon will keep an eye on the archway once it is clear h can aid no further, "We should stay together until we can all safely exit".
"Agreed Barra".
"I suspect that this Crystal is part of the larger set we had to leave upon the table in the Giants' lair. With it one could most probably observe someone or perhaps through someone, at a longer distance than the Way generally makes possible without full Mastery. In addition to controlling these Children, it seems that our enemy felt the need to see what their position was to make the maximum use of their power over them. This is pure speculation unfortunately. The crystal I took requires some sort of blood sacrifice and perhaps even ingestion to be utilized properly. I wonder if this is the same person utilizing both Art and the Way or if it is two separate actors seeking to work together. Part of me believes we should go back and smash the items too large to carry out with us... The Children are of course the main concern. Hopefully, taking this crystal as I have will make the process of farsight much more difficult for this evil doer. We should leave once Thurvek's surgery is complete before we are joined by more unwanted company".
Aldon shakes his head, "No, at least not yet my friend. I have a dorje that can aid in healing but I've not yet needed it with so many of you having access to the divine".
Aldon relays that information telepathically. "These objects may be attuned to what we discovered in that Giant lab".
Aldon turns from the exit for a moment and utilizes Detect Psionics, he gets the sense there may be a connection to what was discovered in the lab to what was implanted in these children...
- "Peace Marcus of Torm, it will not do to distress the children. The time for truth is after trauma". - "Perhaps I should use some of my power to soothe the most belligerent child?"
Aldon keeps an eye on the dark archway as his allies focus on the children to ensure that no potential foes get the drop on them.
Aldon lights his hand in a wreathe of fire, plunging his fit through the head and heart of each troll to ensure their death. "Well fought my friends". He watches the proceedings with the children with a somewhat detached affect, after all he cannot have nor has he ever had children and his interacts with them have been limited at best. Aldon searches for other ways out of this area. Perception
