As Bael explained his groups most recent exploits, Mircalla's brow furrowed. Was this a joke? It seemed rather far fetched, but Bael seemed to be in earnest. "That's a rather crazy turn of events..."  If it was true there was certianly something to be said for what Mircalla could gain from the archmage's studies. "What did you do with the remains of the machine? Do you have any samples of the drug?"<br/><br/>A little while into Bael and Mircalla's conversation the green haired twins returned. "We decided to just finish it myself and have Nod devote himself to another project." Jerion1 said, proudly displaying the scroll in his hands. The second of them grinned. "Someone came to see what you were doing Mircalla.."<br/><br/>A four foot long red and black spider skittered forward. Mircalla let out a contented sigh. "Everyone this is my animal companion and familiar, Carpathian." He reached out to stroke the spider along it's abdomen. "She's really very sweet..." He added, reassuring anyone who might not like insects that Carpathian was a treasured pet and companion. In actuality though Carpathian wasn't a spider at all, the creature was no less than a devil taking the shape of a spider to blend in better with the rest of the adventurers animal companions.<br/><br/>The twin with the scroll walked over to Bael and Mircalla. "This won't hurt one bit..." He said as he read and activated the scroll free Bael from the cursed Ioun stone.<br/><br/>Jerion Use Magic Device At 2011-10-15 12:39:33, PaleEnchantress (uid: 7336) rolls: 1d20a16 Result: 25 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=32249)  DC 25: Success.<br/><br/>Carpathian (Current form)<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://www.floridiannature.com/red%20widow.jpg)</div></div>
