She wasn't successful, so a curious Menya took the opportunity to ask the priestess, "What magic is that, that you used just now?"<br/><br/>After the priestess's response, she stopped Hanifa from rushing into the library with a gentle tug on her arm. "Wait, not so fast. I've got a plan! If the elementals are usually harmless, I want to know why this one is actinya up. Luckily, I've got a scroll that'll let me speak Aquan with it. I just have to hit it with a charm spell first to rein in its hostile impulses. So, don't aim in its direction because that might scare it. Unless it attacks first or it resists my spell, in which case we go to plan B - whack it until it runs back home to the Elemental Plane of Water."<br/><br/>The catgirl would take one more precaution; she somewhat self-consciously made a few complicated gestures with her fingers, uttered a few words of arcane power, and poof! where one Menya previously stood now there were six in total, five<em>mirror images</em>exactly mimicking the actions of the real Menya. Only then did she let Hanifa enter the library.<br/><br/>The first thing that Menya noticed about the Scholar's Garden was the ball of light on the podium. It drew her attention, and by long habit she subconsciously almost began to cast a cantrip to study it more deeply, before she remembered that there was a dangerous water elemental somewhere in the same room that needed to be dealt with first. She saw many possible hiding spots for a blob of liquid - inside jugs, under bookcases - but she quickly caught the glint of moisture and followed the trail up to the top of the bookcase. There she saw the elemental - and saw it staring right back!<br/><br/>With feline grace she acted first, speedily invoking a spell to charm the elemental into thinking she was its friend before it could dive down upon her. And backed up a safe distance just in case the spell didn't work. "Don't shoot unless it attacks first!" She shouted to her partner.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>(Casting<em>Charm Monster</em>at DC 17 Will save, then moving back 30 feet.)<br/>
