The illithid was quiet, their mind prodding the stilling air.

''I concur with Lady Akh Uur Hoon, this was indeed a Storm of Vengeance...either the result of folly or an act of war against the Sensates. I hope for first of these options.''

"I... cannot."
"Hmmm," he said, "so biting doesn't heal you?"

After listening to the conversation play out he adds, "I rather suspect we know what this is going off of our conversation earlier." He looks very seriously at Akh. "We need to get word out and start hunting."

She glanced at Cyprian meaningfully, then pulled herself together, having given a thankful nod to Illi.

Finding exactly where the spell was cast is usually a lot more telltale. Scortch marks, arcane symbols on the ground, stuff like that. There would be some sort of telltale sign of it, some sort of sign or voice to it. Something this powerful would do have something along those lines...and yet, nothing. Like the storm and the shakes of the earth that might as well have been made from wholecloth, and you are sure you know what to look for.

You do however, in your search, do notice several people shaken up and hurt from the storm. Nobody dying, thankfully, but could use a doctor.

''If any of you are apt with the healing arts there are wounded around.'' the illithid notified the group ''Aside from this it seems the Storm appeared out of nothing''

Their gaze fixed on the Dustwoman

''What did you say about a book?''

"I can do that--" Illi chirps when asked about healing, but she hesitates before scampering to the work. "Yes, we all need to talk about this. Tonight, or tomorrow afternoon? Please?"

"There isn't much to tell. I presume there is a tome of power set free from Rhaunades' keeping, then used by his now dead apprentice. The Rilmani might have been involved in the death of both, but the tome itself is at large. There is a distinct possibility that either it has a will or agenda of its own, or that it is a tool in some grand intrigue." She started tending to the wounded in a mundane way of a trained physician. "Too much guesswork to know what to do, other than to find the book." She felt like she was making a mistake sharing this with an Illithid. It was easy to imagine that seizing the tome might become their imperative, to whatever end. And yet she swore by certain principles that compelled her to bracket out the suspicion. "Maybe the perpetrator hides behind powerful illusions or operates from a space we can't normally see."

"That is a LOT to tell, actually! And --" Illi stops herself before she can start running. Akh's got the right idea; there are people to help right now. "Just meet me here later, okay? Please?" She sounds as pathetic as she feels. "It would mean a lot. Please. Uhm. I'll leave you to your work." And she starts off on her own.
