Emend nods along to the conversation, waiting for an enemy to actually show up.

"Does this thing ever shut up?" UsdiYona asked, covering her ears.

She then changes back into a bear and uses her ability to enter twilight so she can go tear the crap out of that yammering idiot!

Miguel abruptly had a halberd in his hands again, and circled the edge of the pool towards the grotesque set of babbling legs - as the bear-girl UsdiYona stepped sideways, entering twilight.

Interestingly, both the Saint (Killer) and Robor could see UsdiYona in twilight equally well, though she had a ghostly translucence to her now. To Emend and Beats, the bear-girl just vanished into thin air.

Robor meanwhile, used his gather the unseen host to force the Sklorch out of twilight and into the physical world. It appeared suddenly in the pool for all to see - making an irritated squelching snort - and then began bristling defensively.

Back in twilight, the gibbering legs did not appear to be aware of the threat posed by both Miguel and UsdiYona now closing in on it from both sides...

"Where did UsdiYona disappear to?" Emend asks with a mix of concern and confusion. Unsure if the strange plant has any magical abilities, Emend will prepare to use Counter-Spell.

If the Sklorch doesn't use magic, he'll take a shot at it with his pistol.

Remembering the Sklorch's legendary slowness, Killer takes his sweet time and casts a body control spell on himself while he idly waits for its approach, sword in hand.

Beats popped off his rote with no trouble, sensing he'd get about three hits before the spell wore off. He'd have to make them count.

Miguel and UsdiYona meanwhile, pounced on the talking legs, taking it completely by surprise!

First, Miguel's ghostly halberd came down on its mouth - shattering teeth, widening the slit, and causing it to stumble back into UsdiYona's paw swipe. For her part, the bear-girl tore one of the thing's legs clean off - the disgusting appendage spraying out earthworms rather than blood, as it flew across the pool.

The Dementia hopped around on one foot, jabbering dozens of random words a second, its voice high pitched and unhinged.

The words seemed to burrow into the minds of UsdiYona and the Saint (Killer) - they being the only ones (besides Miguel), who could actually hear them. A barrage of random thoughts welled up unbidden, flowing from the mind to the tongue.

If UsdiYona could speak, she would have - but her current form seemed unfit for the task and the effect quickly left. For the Saint (Killer) however, he couldn't help but say aloud the first thing that came to mind, and then the second, and then the third, and so on. He found that he had to keep talking, and talking. His innermost thoughts on display for the world to hear. He'd have to watch his thoughts - for so long as he thought, he spoke. And the thoughts never stopped coming...

The Saint explained his way through the casting of his body control spell, which instantly invigorated him - he having never felt it effect him so much. In fact, it allowed him a measure of control against the vocalization he had just been inflicted with - as he could slow down the response time of his tongue, reducing his new compulsion to a low mummer that sounded like a record player slowed all the way down.

With sword in hand, he then waited to see what the Sklorch would do, confidant that he could react instantly to counter - but the Sklorch just sat in the pool growling (if the weird noises it was making could be counted as such).

Emend meanwhile, took a shot at the aberrant plant spirit with his 9mm pistol. The bullet sunk into the creature, causing it to shudder momentarily, but it was hard to gauge what sort of damage it might have done.

Regarding the Sklorch, Emend was struck with how hungry he was at the moment, and wondered if those globs of sticky resin might taste like honey. Of course he had the sense to dismiss the idea of getting close enough to actually get a lick of it - but the idea would not leave him. Maybe after they killed it again, he could go see?

As this went on Robor focused his energies and attacked the hopping leg-mouth in twilight - fraying its corpus directly. With the damage Miguel and UsdiYona had done to it already, Robor's spell proved too much - and the thing erupted in a flood of worms, as it unmade itself and was destroyed.

That just left the Sklorch, which still made no move to leave its position on the steps of the pool.

Killer starts walking towards the Sklorch, briefly considering whether or not he should attempt casting life spells on it - and deciding against it.

"The thing will probably try to get me to throw myself into its body but I am not so pathetic as that", he says aloud, irritated.

He raises his sword and brings it down violently onto the Sklorch once he has moved within range. He would chop the oversized flytrap down to size and they would move on.

Robor frowns ay how easy it was to destroy the talking legs. He hasnt had success with any other spirit ao far.

"Hey, Saint, wait a minute. Maybe I could bind this thing. It isnt a demon."

Killer glances at Robor out the corner of his eye- "And what would the point of that be? This thing is useless. Does little more than clutter up the place. There are greater spirits and demons worthy of our time and power than this trash."

Killer abruptly slows down his tongue again - far too much vitriol in his tone. What a troublesome curse.

Emend cringes upon reflection of his desire to taste the strange liquid coming out of the plant. Surely this was some sort of demonic influence.

"Well, go ahead and try then," Emend says to Robor. "It doesn't seem to be much of a threat at the moment."

UsdiYona steps sideways, out of twilight and changes back into a girl.

"Ripping a leg off that thing makes me hungry for a turkey drumstick," she says.

With a grunt, Killer stops his advance on the Sklorch and waves Robor off. Though it is likely slowed to the points of incomprehensibility, he mutters "if the idiot wants to waste his time on this then let him. Now, where is that source?"

Ignoring the Sklorch Killer looks for the well that was supposed to be in the pool. Perhaps he could recover some of its strength while the others dealt with the Sklorch.

Robor's initial command went unheeded, but trying again and using words of power, he managed to establish a basic level of control over the Sklorch. The problem seemed to be the plant spirit's plant-like intellect, which limited its capacity to follow any real instructions beyond perhaps 'guard', 'attack', 'leave', or 'stay'. Of course a greater mastery over his spirit arcana wouldn't hurt any future attempts either.

The Saint (Killer) meanwhile, looked into the swimming pool - and while he couldn't see anything unusual without mage-sight active, he could indeed feel a powerful flow of spiritual energy radiating from it.

In order to benefit from it however, he would need to make an hour long oblation, as he had done at Morrow Wind's hallow, during their visit to Robor's mentor.

As if in response to Emend's question, the Sklorch snorts out a bubble of sticky goo, reminiscent of a toddler's snotty sneeze.

The bubble pops.

The Sklorch remains unmoved.

"Yes, next stop is the attic. We've got the shadow bouncer up there and Doll Girl to deal with, if Emend is remembering everything correctly. Shouldn't be too difficult. We should also retrieve those remains from the vault so that we might destroy the anchors keeping those children in the castle," Killer says, following Beats.

The team (and their Sklorch) then went back to the stairs in the wine cellar, up through the armory, and into the pub. From there, they walked through the drawing room, into the gallery, and on to the library, just beyond the sitting room.

The couches were still in the room and many of the books had been left on the shelves - though some gaps in the rows indicated a few had also been selectively removed as well.

The secret door in the southwest corner was still closed - and did not look as if those who had come to remove items from the castle had ever found it. One could not be absolutely certain of that of course, until someone opened it...

Meanwhile, the acrid smell of melting plastic was suddenly noticeable in the air.

Looking for the source, revealed that the carpet, under the Sklorch, was being dissolved by the sticky goo trail it had left behind as it oozed along.

"Probably best if myself and Mr.Snuggl- I mean UsdiYona stay down here. We didn't leave the girl up there in the best of terms," Emend replies, reminiscing on the last time he was here. "I'd watch what you're thinking around her as well, as she can read minds."

"I spent far too much time in this room, i'll get it."

As Killer opens up the door and he looks to Robor.

"Shadow bouncer should be here. I talked to him a while, he's a reasonable sort. Don't think we should destroy him if we can help it. Should be a lot more useful than that Sklorch too."

To Emend she then asks, "do you think they left any snacks in here somewhere?"

Opening the secret door, the Saint (Killer) and company once again saw the red velvet rope stretched across the stairs beyond, blocking the way up. Something moved from the shadows - becoming the black silhouette of a large doorman. For those who had not seen it before, it looked a lot like an animated shadow in two dimensions.

It stood in the way, behind the rope, with arms folded and spoke with an eerie nebulous voice - "Ain't none of you all on the list."

Then seeing the Saint, it seemed to crack a smile - a cutout crescent appearing in its face - "Oh it's you again. I wondered if you'd ever be back. I'm still in the job market after this gig, if you're interested."

Then considering the company, the doorman concluded with a wink and a nod - "We can talk later."

On a step in front of the velvet rope was the blood horn that Emend had left there when they had used it to portal out of the castle during their last visit.

To Emend she then asks, "do you think they left any snacks in here somewhere?"

"Since the place was more abandoned than anything I'd imagine so," Emend replies. "Let's check out the kitchen then, shall we?"

Then, suddenly remembering, he turns to the rest of the disciples. "By the way, in order to enter the doll room you have to be naked."

He'll also dispel magic shield, as it's currently redundant and making him over his spell tolerance.

"Bouncer. He guards the attic. Robor, can you break Kark's compulsion on him? He won't fight us if you do," then addressing the bouncer, "will you?"

"Pshaw!" The doorman scoffed, "Mama Kark isn't around anymore to have compulsion on anyone."

"Like I said before, I'm here until the place changes hands. And because I am a professional, I do my job until the job is done."

Miguel meanwhile, noted to the Saint (Killer) - "This is where I cannot go past. And I had not seen this specter, until you opened the door."

"Look who's calling who a specter, ghost boy;" the doorman retorted, apparently able to see and hear Miguel in twilight.

UsdiYona'a face turns 3 shades of red. "Yeeeesss..." she admits sheepishly, "but there was more than just cake."

As she follows Emend out of the library, she says back to the others, "now y'all know what kind of damage and destruction I can cause, if you need me. But while you're up there, if you happen to find a cake... DIBS!"

"You may have the deed," the doorman replied to the group, "but the place has not changed hands yet. The previous owners may have moved their stuff out, but according to the powers that be, they still have dominion here. You might want to take that up with a lawyer or something. Until then, I'm afraid I must still enforce the current list."

"The witch deosnt have it either since we killed her." Beats replies as he moves into an offensive stance. He uses his streetwise abilities to see if he can read anything about the strength of the door man as he prepares to cast evil eye on it and go in with knife fist punches.
