Lorelei is using her move being<strong>Charming and Open</strong>with a slight variation on one of the questions: “How can I get you to freedom?” So if the creature knows, she has to answer honestly. And it gets a free ask of me to which I have to be honest ^_^<br/><hr/><br/><div class="floatleft">(http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&amp;id=0B7qT0sYksmzhcW1nN004Q3RIUU0)</div>“Curious to you perhaps,” Lorelei comments after watching the creature slowly move into the boat. It seemed to have gained back some of its consistency already. The initial power used to tame it, though she realized it was not truly subservient, had faded but the connection between the two was still there. “As I said, it is not my desire to be the master to anyone, nor anyone a slave to me. So yes, I will let you go free.” Realizing an inherent contradiction, she paused. The suddenness has the effect that the look on her face was one who stops mid-way through a thought. There was a long moment of staring curiously at the creature which was in turn abruptly stopped as Lorelei dove down and began to swim.<br/><br/>Tail pushing through the waves only slightly under the surface that she could grip the tip of the boat and pull it along. The sea was choppy but not too rough to impair her ability much. Looking up at the night sky she knew she was elsewhere. Somehow her friends had made it back through the mysterious gate pointed out by the kobolds but she was left behind. The thought brought her great sadness, masked only by her determination to get somewhere. She paused to look back to the beach, she wasn’t sure if that area even would exist and wondered if that place was still there. The creature intonated that it could not exist without the illithiads to maintain it. And with the creature dying, Lorelei took some comfort that her friends must have defeated the abominations. Did they leave her behind intentionally? She could not completely shake her doubts. But no, they would not… would they?<br/><br/>The appearance of the morning brightened her. As the day dawned, it too dawned on her that she had no idea where she was going and stopped to see if there was anything in sight and would continue forward towards it. To ease her mind she slowed the pace, pulling up alongside the boat as she pull it along her side to address the goo creature, “So… what do I call you? Globbity goo doesn’t seem very nice.” Another pause, now Lorelei addressed the contradiction in her mind, “If I am to free you, how can I if you cannot exist without a master? At least, it seemed from what you said before that is true. Where did you come from? Or maybe how did you come to be? There must be some way that you can be on your own, perhaps you are a people and we can get you home? Or are you merely a construct of those squid-faced jerks?”
