Lloth looks quite surprised, at Draiss reply, at the fact that it seems to have horrified him; anything that can unsettle him is clearly a major issue, and she nods, gesturing for him to step into a side room, for privacy.<br/><br/>The Shadow stalkers reply that they had already established a shield to contain it, before contacting him, and were moving in a team to disable it.<br/><br/>Unfortunately, despite this slight warning, it doesn't provide him nearly enough time. The last message to come in from the Drellin's Ferry site is<em>The device's energy signatures are activating and building rapidly, attempting to follow back to sour--</em><br/><br/>Before the message can complete, a terrific explosion rocks the Demonweb Pits, a surge of intense magic and power that seems to rock the demi-plane of the Abyss to its very core.

The interference from the explosion, temporarily, at least, cuts off his communication with his home, possibly coupled with Lloth's defenses rising, rapidly.
