[D6, MA] Experiencing Is Believing

[Factol Montgomery]

The Factol returns with a frustrated look in her face, with Annali Webspinner in tow. "Oi checked wi' Annali an', well, yer tell dem." She motions to the Baubari.

"It was Rhaunades who came in. Trust me, I have a good eye for when someone's trying to disguise themselves and playing who they aren't supposed to be." Annali adjusts her glasses and looks at you all with to affirm what she had said. "'Tis why oi tart it odd! feck dat dat they cud come in lettin' on ter be someone else. So 'tis 'imself watchin' 'is own conversashun an' recordin' it. Why in de hells wud yer man go raun dis way ter complicate things?"

The Factol rubs her head against her temples, clearly annoyed at this level of complexity.

The mind flayer ponders the situation

''A simulacrum perhaps. A cloned copy of himself...that might mean he is still alive''

[Thaddeus]

Thaddeus paces the Sensorium in frustration. Coming to a halt, he turns to L'Orr, "Would there be any signs on the body if a simulacrum were used? Any magics left behind to tell the tale?"

[L'Orr-hui]

The illithid frowned

''The spell is complex and beyond my ability to conjure for the moment. I know it exist but I wish not to repeat untruths. The arcanist was potent but it may also be the case of an illusory projection.''

[Thaddeus]

Nodding in understanding, it was a long shot at best.

Thad turns to Factol Montgomery, "Factol, this matter seems to get more and more complex and it's already brought the fight to our doorstep. May I ask your favor to act as your proxy in this investigation? I'll not rest until the issue of this tome is done and settled."

"Nah, oi don't nu much aboyt dat clone magic, but oi chucker nu dat spell requires yer ter be dead in order for it ter work. Nigh, illusion magic, dat is obvious. De quesshun is why go thru al' dat jist ter fool someone? Cause it seems ter me de only person bein' fooled at de view is jist 'is apprentice."

"Goes withoyt sayin'. Yer 'av me support an' whatever yer nade ter git dis taken care av. Quietly, if yer can. If de other factions fend oyt aboyt dis, it cud start a damn war. An' nigh dat damn daemoness knows aboyt it too, she's likely already cookin' somethin' up."

[L'Orr-hui]

''Not in the case of a simulacrum'' they specified ''But the point remains...why indeed?''
