Stelrein scratches his chin, pondering this for a moment. Slowly he goes back to Zumir's room, taking the travel packs with him.
Placing the packs on the ground, against a wall, Stelrein turns to Zumir, "Would be able to tell if anyone is scrying us, watching out movements?"

Stelrein
"You are unobserved," Zumir shrugs. Then he frowns slightly, adds, "At least in here..."

Stelrein asks, "Are all your powers confined to this room?"

Stelrein
"Sadly so," Zumir sighs. He really doesn't look happy about it, either.

"Would destroying the charm remedy this?" Rasidar asks.

Rasidar
"I will be free in allways with the charm destroyed," Zumir beams happily.

"Zu, you just said "at least in here." Does that mean we are unobserved only in this room or does it mean as long as we are in this place?" asks looking at him questioningly. "Do you have any idea who would want to watch us?"

Ash
"I mean within this room," Zumir sighs heavily. "I can project my own power no further." He looks very unhappy again.

"Zu, it's OK. Don't look so unhappy. We will do everything that we can to help you get that charm so you can be free of that mean old mage," says Ash feeling really bad for Zumir.
****************
After a few moments, Ash looks at Rasidar and says "Hey, Ced and Mao were going to check out the other room. I'm going to go take a peek and see what is in there. I'll be back in a few minutes. Don't let Little Sneak near that button." She then takes off down the hall to the room that Ced and Mao are exploring.
"Wow!" she exclaims as she sees the big tubes sitting in the metal rings. "I wonder if this is some kind of a power system," she says to herself. Walking over to the one nearest the door she runs her hand over the tube and the ring and as she thinks "I wonder what these thing do. They are so smooth and feel a little warm. They must be working at doing something." She then looks around for Mao and Ced thinking she would ask them if they had learned anything about the tubes, but when she see that they are busy she runs her hand over the tube again and then leaves. She would ask Mao all about them when they finished.
*****************
"Hmmmmmm, wonder where Lor went?" asks Ash of herself. "She said she was going to do something, but I can't remember what it was. I've got to learn to pay more attention when people say stuff. Oh, well, I'll find her."
She heads down to the provision room and not finding her their she goes back to the room where they had been sleeping. As she nears the door, she hears what sounds like 2 people talking. "Wonder who Lor is talking to," thinks Ash. "Hey, maybe somebody else woke up. Maybe Lor is trying to convince them to join us." Stopping at the door, Ash sees another girl with Lor and smiles. "Hi, Lor," she says. "What are you guys doing?"
She then looks at the other girl and says with a smile "Hi, I'm Ash. What's your name?"
*assumes the girl tells her her name*
"Did you just wake up?" she asks Ciara. "Do you remember anything? "I sure didn't at first, but I am beginning to remember some stuff. Hey, you want to come with us? We are getting ready to break out of this place. We've found a secret door," she says still smilling. "Mr. Knight is guarding the button so Little Sneak can't push it. "Oh, and you've got meet Zu, he's our big blue friend and guess what he can do. He can sit in mid air. Isn't that cool? Ced and Mao just found a room with lots of big tubes in it with bubbly green stuff in them. They are really tall and have metal rings around them. I don't know what they do, but Ced and Mao have been investigating the room and probably know by now. "
"Hey, did you know the walls and floors eat stuff except they won't eat big pieces so they won't eat us just the stuff you rub on them. You wanna see? I can show you with this piece of food, if you do?" asks Ash looking at Ciara as if she should jump at the chance to see something like that.

Loriana groans when Ash comes in. She sighs when Ash launches into a long tirade. She just hopes that the information doesn't overwhelm Ciara. Loriana shakes her head and repeats her question about getting food for Ciara.

Cedric looks pensively at the ceiling. "If you permit," he finally says to Mao, "I will lift you, so you can reach the ceiling - to check whether there's any breeze, and also whether you can activate the globes."

(Sorry for not posting for ages, btw, guys. I'll hopefully get back into some regular frequency of posting again.)
Yairn listened and observed everything with concentration. The giant blue giant, the room full of food and drink, the living walls...
He stood in the intersection and felt rather useless.
Then he remembered the emptiness in his stomach. He quickly went to the room full of food and stuffed himself with food and drink. He smiled.
"Much better" Yairn murmured to himself.
He rejoined Rasidar and simply waited for them to move on.

Ash hears Loriana's sigh, looks over at her and says "Is something wrong Lor? Should I not have told her about the room with the tubes, or the secret door or about Zu or about what we are trying to do?"
She then looks at Ciara and asks "You are coming with us aren't you? Stel could probably help you make some make do armor like Lor's wearing if you want and maybe a club. Ced could show you how to use it. It's all we've got since we haven't been able to find any real armor or weapons."
"Please, Ciara, you've just got to come with us. We can't just leave you here," pleads Ash. "Who knows when that mean old mage will be back and he might hurt you if he finds you awake. He bound Zu to a little blue bottle and now Zu has to do what he tells him to do, but we're going to help Zu get away from him. We're going to find that bottle so Zu can smash it and set himself free."

Ash hears Loriana's sigh, looks over at her and says "Is something wrong Lor? Should I not have told her about the room with the tubes, or the secret door or about Zu or about what we are trying to do?"e; Loriana tries to smile and says quietly, "I was just trying not to overwhelm her with information. How would you feel if you woke up confused and someone came in spouting everything you just said?" Loriana raises an eyebrow, "Just think about it for a moment."

"Great," Mao answers, as she puts what she carries in her hands on the floor and places the bola on her for it to provide light without hindering her movements. Once she's ready, she gets lifted by Cedric; fortunately, he seems strong enough no to get debalanced easily, she thinks. She then licks her finger and tries to detect any airflow up there and near the ceiling; she tries to understand the movement of the air flow/ convection.
When she can figure out more, she investigates the ceiling, runs her fingers on it to try to detect cracks or bumps, anything. Then she touches/tries to take one of the globes on the ceiling...

MaoThe flow of air is definitely below you now. It really does seem to be coming out of nowhere... You can take one of the Light Globes if you wish. It is recharged when you touch it (-5 mana as per usual and starts shedding light again. It will drop into your hand with no problems when you pull it.

Ash stands there staring at Lor for a moment. "OK, I admit if it was me, I could have done without hearing about the tube room, and the secret door and how Mr. Knight is trying to keep Homm from pushing the button, and how the walls and floor eat stuff," said Ash. "But I would have wanted to hear all about Zu, how he can sit in the air, how he was bound to the bottle by the mean old mage, and how he needs help to get free and all of that," she says pausing for just a moment. "Oh, and I'd be really anxious to see him and talk to him," she adds. "Should I have only told Ciara about Zu since he is the one I would have wanted to know about?" she asks still trying to figure out why Lor thought she had messed up so.

"Well, the airflow definitely origins from the middle, there," Mao says to Cedric. "How weird!" (Elliot; what did she see/feel on the ceiling?)
As she touches the globe she feels a bit of her energy being drained; she should begin to be used to it now, since she already took a few, but she can't help but jerk as it does. The sensation is a bit agressant; it's somewhat like if this thing was stealing of her energy, like a parasit feeding on her, she thinks as she pulls softly on the globe. When it's off she examinates the cavity in which the globe was.
"Do you want me to check for anything else? Otherwise I'm done up here," Mao says to Cedric after telling him of what she discovered of the ceiling and checking if he was getting tired to hold her up like that.

Mao
The stone of the ceiling iseems to be identical to all the other walls, floors etc you have so far found in this complex.
The hollow where the Light Globe you have taken rested is just that - a hollow in the stone. There are no fixtures or other things of interest inside.

EK: While the others are busy looking at the cylinders and playing withair current Sim is going to start looking at everything mundane in the room ( also I may have missed the description but is there any other way out of this room)?.
