"NONONONONOOOOOOOOO!"

I raise my arm in an attempt to block his frantic hacking at my shoulder, he is wickedly fast but weakened and his body begins to lose coherency.

I can see the raw power flowing out of him, that isn't right, I shouldn't bee able to see it. It feels as though it's compressing my heart, the weight of it drawing me down. I try to force it into the runes as something bright flares to life behind him.

Can you try channeling the raw energy at the portcullis? Maybe it'd warp into something. ...like a tiny bunny.

Either that, or you could try keeping it up. Either potentially stretch how much your body can work with, or burn out entirely. Or pass out. Or die. Or become the most awesome of your race seen in ages. Or gain even better understanding of the workings of the arcane just by working with such a high amount.

It's kinda an unknown, but that's part of the fun, isn't it?

Normally i'd be all for a sizable snack of magic, but if our opponent survives this, redirecting his magic may draw attention we're trying to avoid.
Plus, there's a chance that we aren't made for that kind of power either, and we'd shatter into dust from the attempt.
Rechannel the power into the Symbol of Voors. Get a fresh look around now that your opponent is suffering a setback.

God damn good work there boss. Seems like the little bastard contained quite a bit of energy. And no, don't think it's us doing that fog. It's probably an aftereffect from the magic. Or possibly you're outside.

When you feel up to it you should probably get up. Have to find out where you are now and then get back to your family. Oh, and those elves have better offer some sort of reparations to you, they brought a crazy magical construct into your house.

"Dammit boy stop struggling or I swear, if you've gone mad, your mother will never forgive me for letting you study!"

*gasp* "I... oh God... I... I'm alive?"

It's as if my senses suddenly flood in, where there was cold, there is warmth, where there was pain, flesh is whole and unmarred. Like waking from a nightmare and perceiving it as so obviously unreal in retrospect.

My father's voice.

take a few deep breaths then say you are calm. then explain that the elves need to leave, one or two of them cast a spell on you and tried to 'extract' information out you. if it wasn't for your training there is a good chance they would of turned you into a vegetable. also tell him to not say any names right now, in case they are still watching.

I hastily explain that my near state of enthrallment via sorcerous means and my suspicion of the elves complicity in this matter. "... and I suspect they are looking for something.. or someone important and believe 'me' to know it."

"I see... I shall not allow such fae witchery in my house but..."

Farvel bursts in excitedly wearing a sleeping robe and begins ranting in that manner all his own. "They've left. The bastards just left! I was going to check on them, heard there was some noise up there and he slick-skinned little fucks must have wandered off into the night! They didn't even pass the damn front door I'll bet, guards didn't see a thing. We weren't finished with the negotiat-"

That was some real wizardry you did there, dream or not. You used what you had in a way your opponent did not expect and he paid out the nose.

I suggest you check the chambers they were using, see if there's anything the more mundane search party may have missed. We know you're probably a bit worn out after that, but you'll rest better knowing that they aren't just hiding, or if they've left means of sneaking back IN.

I mean, Inquisitor Feuéchelle and Uncle Wern can ensure the security of the grounds once father gives the word.

Very well, I begin making my way upwards though the coiling main passage to the upper levels, managing to re-acquire the mask I must have lost somehow on the way down.

A surprising amount of hallway traffic at such an ungodly hour. Must be either those servants still cleaning up after the party, or the wake of noise Farvel's passage surely left behind him precipitated a lot of groggy puppyheads trying to look busy.

"I was in the room shortly before they left and could tell if anything have been moved."

His manner is guarded, and terse. The Inquisitor was only a recent addition to our city only a few years past, augmenting the judicial and religious positions previously held by only two ministers, and the occasional reclusive monk on the cliffs.
"Interesting, our witness corroborates your presence but few minutes before their departure. We've kept a close eye on them almost their entire visit. The presence of an unfamiliar Fae mercenary band near our boarders is sufficient cause for my interest."

You were attacked by an elf in a strange semi-dream-like state, and successfully fought back. Whether he was physically there or how he were effected by your efforts you couldn't be sure, him leaving a body was mostly wishful thinking on your part. If presses you for details on how you can probably tell him that it was a mana transfer trick. Hardly a dark and fiendish power, that. Just so long as you leave us out of it.

Feuéchelle goes to work, spreading a fine gray dust in a circle on the ground. Giving me ample opportunity to use the Symbol of Voors surreptitiously.

"Huh, what was that?"

"Nothing, I was... just noting that stain on the ground there, something feels unusual about it."

I think I caught a glimpse some aging disconnected spell fragments drifting about, something unusual about Feuéchelle (no surprise there), and some, organic-looking pattern spreading out from the stain.

Feuéchelle stands, backing away from his completed circle.
"Ah well, we shouldn't have to worry about that stain too long, I hope... anyhow, you will probably want to close your eyes for the next part. Also, if you hear anything particularly strange please grab me and drag me out of the room, yes?"

" Erh, wait what? Is this dangerous? Why do I have to keep my eyes closed? Afraid I will steal church secrets?"

He, frowns, turns, takes a very deep breath and...

I instinctively close my eyes against the sudden brightness, like the sun itself overwhelming one after stepping from a windowless, light-less warren.

"Good God! You didn't say you were going to set half the room on fire!"

"ahh bah dose, alus getz buck en bah dose... anyhuh, datz bout it yes..."

So there was a growing backdoor? Sneaky.

Any plans for tracking them down?

Hmm, so they had a door for sending stuff into the dreamworld. Interesting. But you should probably check out the blue stuff that appears to be growing. It's probably something that you shouldn't allow to get much bigger.

Wonder who hired those elves to do this? I think they might have actually been honest about being mercs. The Sperenze family wouldn't have seemed that likely before, but if it's true that they have made some dark deals then they might have known that you got a new nice little orb and cool powers. So they hired the elves to chase off your teacher, possibly get the orb and get their hands on you as well, or find out who is your "master". Actually the part about master makes them more possible. If they gained power through dark deals with stuff from beyond, then they might assume you did the same thing, so they want to find out who you made a deal with.

Was that circle he was standing over something he made? I saw it glowing too.

One thing that may have nearly been overlooked.
That lil bold that was being molested by your goblin guest is still in the manor. For her safety and that of the whole manor she should be checked over as well. Our opponents may be the crafty sort, leaving more than one avenue to return.

Or worse the poor girl could be under a compulsion to wander off once things have cooled down, into the unkind arms of a perverted goblin mage, never to be seen alive again.

From the looks of it I really doubt the stain/dreamwoven will be a problem at this point. If it was only an immature spell that burst likely torched it, as well as probably setting the local aether energy currents into disarray.

"If you want my opinion, you should have that girl checked, just in case she's under any compulsions or enchantments."

Feuéchelle takes a swig from a hipflask to clear his throat before aswering.
"*cough* Girl, what girl?

"The one who just left, the little bold girl their goblin wa-"

"Oh, you mean HIM? He's one of my agents, just turned him over to his sister, still, I must watch my flock carefully. Or rather, carefully enough that I can at least tell who is what."

"ahh huh"
Awkward... damn kobolds, how was I to know, didn't catch his scent, was busy smoking dreamdust, or something. So... I guess, we are done here? The room smells, frankly quite awful, now that half the furnishings are glowing embers.

This is a spell we must learn. Tell me you saw the basic principle when you caught a glimpse of it. Could probably even use this as last measure when you eventually fail a spell. Useful if you survive the third degree burns.

But yes, can't think of anything to say. Several things about the human mages safety but I guess you don't want to share that. The security around here or how to defend yourself so they don't get into your head in the first place.

dont worry, 'bolds seem to completely lack gender issues and likely won't take any real offense from mix-ups like that. We're pretty sure they're socially androgynous. Its enviable, really.

Either way, Brother Feuéchelle clearly has things in hand. Time to rest and recover. I would advise against having anything alcoholic before bed, given the amount of mental gymnastics you were forced through. It would be like rubbing salt in a fresh cut.

We're done as soon as we're certain the spell is broken up. Don't take chances or risks with magic.

Yes, it's defiantly had the bits kicked out of it, even looks to have a bunch of the smaller astral bottom feeders and planktonic life swarming around to take advantage of all the energy what got stirred around. They'll take care of the rest.

Not sure about that spell he used on it though. "Any chance you could show me how to do that?"

"Church secrets you said it yourself, besides I was under the impression you already had your... sources, hmmm?"

"Well, as of late 'my sources' are not as close as I could prefer, and this is primarily a matter of self-defense on my part, should the Fair Folk show interest in me again.'

I manage to find my mother, she hugs me, almost squeezing the life out of me before boxing me about the ears. She has already heard of my experience from my father.

Still, I am shown to my room, and kissed goodnight.

Quite interesting indeed. So for the moment let's assume that the "elves" and their prophecies/advice aren't necessarily to be trusted. Do we have any plans for tomorrow? Anything we have to do? Responsibilities, perhaps?

It will all depend on the weather. Relax and get a good night's sleep, plans can be made over breakfast.

And as for the exorcism we witnessed: perhaps its simply a refined version of what was done to our dream-assailant: A spell that pulls in other magical structures and breaks them down, releasing light in the process.

You learned quite a few things. Set up a runeword of 'E' around your bed to make sure nothing tries to get into your nogging while you sleep. Then you can drift off into the sweet embrace of sleep.
