"I knew a few Ordinators back in the day. A pompous bunch, too serious for my taste." He says, "Needed to lighten up, in my opinion." He laughs, "We're almost there, you can see the massive mushrooms from here." He says with a chuckles, "Very gaudy, typical Telvanni."
Douglas
"I think there's something... Peaceful about them almost. The mushrooms. Some might find them Gaudy but... Its as though you're living within Nature."
Phyllis
"Nothing feels more natural than a massive mushroom." He says, "Whole area smells like fungus." He says with a slight disgusted tone, you can hear the river moving, the silt strider calls are quite loud, they can see it across the river
Douglas
"That's it then? I had always imagined them to be bigger... It's almost cute."

*She was staring at it just standing there.*

"It just... Stays, then?"
Phyllis
"She's not fit for travel according to Revus, so she just stays there." He says, "It's quite sad, really. I miss riding on silt striders."
Douglas
"Is it not... Cruel, what they do to control them? Stirring their brains about like soup..."

*She shuddered thinking about it.*

"Maybe she should have a little pen to walk about in."
Phyllis
"It's no worse than whipping horses. Not our fault they evolved to have exposed organs that allow us to control them." He says with a chuckle, "He can't get her to move from that spot, Revus has tried, she just won't move."
Douglas
"It's just saddening to see them in such a state."

*They were crossing the river. She telekinetically aligned a few rocks to step on as to not get her boots wet.*
Phyllis
He uses a frost spell to freeze the water as he walks, not wanting to get his boots wet as well, he lifts a cloth to cover his nose, "Let's make this quick, this place reeks."
Douglas
"I... Don't quite smell anything. Come to think of it... No that's ridiculous..."

*She had forgotten if she could smell or not. She could, it was just a very weak sense of smell. Ascending the riverbank, they approached the tower.*

"You should take the lead... He would kidnap me... Probably..."

*She was referencing stories she had heard about him. She was a Redoran, after all...*
