    Templeton asks Zack to find the elf from earlier and explain one of his kind is asking for him.

    Zack goes in search of the mansion owner.

    The spell blasts forward out of the scroll and shatters the energy field on the red door.

    Within is a large tank of pure Banduin sand, within which swims one of their huge electro-sharks. Steel rending jaws and a powerful electric current stored in their fin. They've been deployed in the Zassanian desert, the bane of both Zassan and Othegratia.

    The missle of eldritch energy has cracked the tank and the sands spill out into the room, the shark rages...

    OOC: Rolz all

    Aelindril looks around and sees the book-keeper and half salutes.

    Ristan pets of of the arachnids as it feasts on Artur. Quentanaa enters the cell block and harrumphs. Pip and Farris stars around near her looking nervously at the diminishing pile of meat outside.

    She recognises the old elf as a learned one from his blue gown with stars, he looks ill to her, the slowing is upon him (OOC: A learned one is basically a very old elf with decent magical knowledge, the slowing is an elf voluntarily becoming incorporeal to leave this life).

    The shark dives straight at Zack and his jaws crush him in one go, the sand died with blood. He swims round the now sand covered room, eating a few Archonoids, before discharging an electric current that fries Thondar. His body falls over burnt black.

    Gholduzin swings his club as the shark comes by, but with too much force and comes off his feet, smashing his head on the ground (OOC: 1HP lost). Irwin and Templeton make a few blows as it swims past them.

    However Thonrat stares in silence, turns as the shark comes toward him. It leaps, yet still he stares.

    As the belly of the beast flies over him he says...

    The shark had lept at the last minute, terrified by the intensity of his stare, the roar as it sails overhead makes it miss the bite on the way down and his dagger cuts through its back, severing enough blood vessels to kill it instantly.

    Thonrat goes to the corpse and cuts it open from bow to stern, looking for any loot it may have swallowed previously. He grunts softly in memory of his brother.

    Aelindril sniffs.

    'This elf, where is he?'

    Quentanaa sniffs and wrinkles her nose involuntarily. "Not long to go asto'dhel. Far better to complete your circle out here than in the corner of that cell. There is no breeze here to carry your dust. I shall summon the moron, he can be your legs till we find you somewhere with a sky. RISTAN!"

    Ristan is over by the Electroshark, watching Thonrat cut it open and trying to impress Pip. "You know, I'll bet that if we cut off the fin and look for the main organ connected to it, we could harness the power of the shark. Maybe for combat, maybe just to light up a room - why, one day, we could be riding around in carts pulled not by horses but by the shark fins themselves! I know, I know - sounds crazy to you city folk, but I'm of the forest. My nerves jangle with the wind through her branches, my heart beats to the thrum of the hunt - this stuff is my cake and jam. I'll teach you - Start cutting like so....." He points to an area at the base of the shark's fin with his staff for Pip to cut into.

    Farris stands back.

    Aelrindel enters the room with the elves conversing.

    'Oh - look at you. So pitiful. The slowing has begin I see... what a waste of time.'

    "You young little prick..." the elder elf coughs.

    "The room, somewhere...*cough*....a passage"

    He shuffles back a few steps.

    Quentanaa suddenly notices that one brick in the wall just looks wrong aesthetically, it's placed correctly, the same colour, but its surface seems too smooth.

    Templeton looks around the elfs cell, "why would they lock an old elf in a cell with a secret passage, or has this elf been here so long that he had time to shawshank a tunnel?"

    Aelrindel bellows

    'Thonrat - quit mucking around with that fish and get in here!'

    Thonrat looks up, grunts and shuffles into the room.

    'You...dwarves... know stone, right? Search this room - this sickly excuse for an elf thinks there's a passage. He might be raving with all the sitting around and waiting to die he's doing though.'

    Thonrat nods and grunts and searches the room.

    All the brick here smells the same and the cell has even construction as far as Thonrat can tell.

    It's tough enough, but Ristan pushes as hard as he can and it clicks in.

    Suddenly the back wall shifts to being translucent and immaterial.

    Thonrat looks up and shakes his head at Aelrindel.

    'Pfft. Nothing. That lunatic is stark raving mad. Good luck...'

    He looks at Ristan clicking the brick and clouts Thonrat across the head.

    'You dwarven buffoon! Now they will get the treasures before us. I swear, I mean to have a word with whoever runs the auction I bought you at when I get home..'

    Ristan passes his hand through a few times, giggles and walks through. The others follow if he doesn't explode
