In spite of the efforts made, neither Zixx nor Ariel could determine anything about the elven slave, apart from Zixx's determination of the fact that she was indeed covered in magical things, though whether they were items or simply natural traits that were of the magical sort was, for the most part, impossible to discern. However, they would be very aware that their powers were being blocked by something, which would most definitely raise suspicions. Apart from that, however, her behavior raised no alarms.<br/><br/>Upon the activation of Zixx's manipulative ability, the babau he targeted immediately showed a reaction. His head whipped about, scanning the area in search of the origin of the 'voice' that had made such a claim. Though the demon did at least seem a tad suspecting, he did not follow such a gut instinct. Instead, he could be seen speaking Abyssal to the molydeus, who returned with some words of his own and jerked his hyena head in the aforementioned direction. He watched as the two babaus darted south, focused enough on their orders to not take notice of the party in hiding. Meanwhile, the far superior demon looked about as well, utilizing both of its heads. It held its huge, powerful axe at the ready, making a few slow steps to the southwest. When he was within a hundred feet of the party, which was still out of sight, he made a telepathic call of his own, one that was not targeted at any single person- after all, how could one target someone who they did not know the location of?- and it echoed throughout the minds of everyone.
