Dieter - Mage

Once healed up and having studied up: Let's see if we can free our friends. Dieter will find a large cavern suitable for fighting if the need arises, perhaps the one near where they found the lightning spiting wyrmm. Placing Blackrazor on the ground in the middle of the room: Dandy, please hit Blackrazor with Whelm while Furuk hits it with Wave. Then back off like you just tripped over a bees nest. We'll see what happens and be prepared to fight....

OCC: Yeah, continuing on would be great after we recover Grimes and Castinus. Dieter would also like to loot the room where we defeated Shae a bit more but friends have priority. Might be nice to visit a town too...

Dandy waits for Furuk and then carries out the prescribed attack on Blackrazor.

Grimes - Soul-less fighter of Poseidon

Grimes flits about inside his out of body prison, walking about aimlessly singing X rated Halfling limericks, and occasionally pausing to extend a digit to Castinus saying "Casty... c'mon... pull my finger. It's magic. Honest."

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk takes Wave and hits Blackrazor hard with it.

With a mighty crack the sword shatters and inky black (occasionally sparkling with stars) fills the chamber. The shards of the blade are clear, like glass, as if all of the color and astral movements were contained within the sword itself.

The inky blackness coalesces into a black form: somewhat humanoid but shifting and amorphous as well. The form is large: dwarfing even Lludd, who writhes and hisses. It seems to look around, as if taking in its new environment. And then it addresses you:

Free, I am free. For many years, too many to count, I have been imprisoned in that shell, eating only what pittances we could steal.

You have freed me, and for that I am grateful. What do you wish in return?

Actions?

Hit points and marching order
Grimes -2/58 {Level 11 for [5d5] = 5 rounds} dead!

Castinus, his fractured soul scattered amongst the shattered remnants of Blackrazor, thanks his lucky stars--pun intended--that he's free...of Grimes.

Dieter - Mage

Two of our companions souls were taken by the sword a few days ago, can you return them to their bodies? Dieter will point to the corpses.

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk holds on to Wave and waits for the black form to reply.
