(oh noes!!!)<br/><br/>He grinned to himself as he realized that the dead stayed dead after staring at the corpse for nearly ten minutes, and looked back at the party. "I can get one of my skeletons to do the searching, and if I attach more of my consciousness to it, it will be smarter than the average village idiot. But while I would like to get at least a little sleep first, I am worried about what the ooze is doing to the treasure. It might not affect it at all, but I would hate to wait and learned that it somehow made a very valuable and useful item sentient or that it became cursed."<br/><br/>He was feeling a 'bit better' now, and he stood up with only a slight grimace of pain to set up the rope into the mansion. Several minutes later, a normal human skeleton slid down the rope, followed by Draiss, though Cerulean might know him well enough to notice that the skeleton unconsciously stood like he did when he didn't have a staff. He sat down by the wall again before closing his eyes, and the skeleton turned and walked fearlessly into the ooze with a small sack on its back. As the skeleton began searching the room and out of sight of the party, it went straight for the treasure like it knew where it was hidden.<br/><br/>While they waited for the skeleton to return, he held an arm out to Cerulean, pulled her into his lap and kissed her ear as they waited. He snorted as he watched the bard and druid head up into the mansion, figuring they were going to celebrate destroying the lich, and then ran his hand along Cerulean's thigh. "I had a thought a few days ago if you wanted to try a different form tonight. You look beautiful now, but you could probably start a new religion if I polymorphed you into a nymph."
