Ancalagon dismissed his spell, and returned to his normal half dragon shape, and wasted a moment missing his superior senses, before he approached the humans and leaned against the wall. He looked them over for a second, before saying, "I am a mage, and as such, I know a spell for you humans that will allow you to take on a form that can breathe underwater. I would like to point out, at the moment, the very attractive gold dragoness watching me, and also point out that she has not killed me, even though I am a half red dragon. Which means that she trusts me, to a degree.<br/><br/>Now, we both destroyed the Aboleths that lived here, so, you people are free to go, but I would like to talk to you," and he indicated the Kuo-Toa and the Sahuagin, "before you leave, so give me a moment to get these humans on their way."<br/><br/>Turning back to the humans, he said, "Sorry, but as I was saying, I can give you a new form, but I would like your permission to do so. I can key the spell to Torkal, the gold dragoness, so she can dismiss it when she gets you back to the surface. Once there, you will find yourself near a castle. Head there, and tell the people there that Ancalagon gave you permission to stay for a day, to rest and get some food into you. Don't let the fact that they are not the normal races deceive you. I will be up shortly, and would like to talk to all of you as well."<br/><br/>Once the humans give him their permission, he has them step into the water, and then polymorphs them into octopusses, and then turns to the Kuo-Toa, and says, "I wish for you to take word to your whips that Ancalagon has destroyed the Aboleths, and would like to meet with them at a time and place of their chosing. Booldipdop, one of your people I met and told me about the aboleths, can head to my home and tell me when they are ready to meet me."<br/><br/>Turning to the shark person, he said, as he stepped aside to allow the Kuo-Toa to leave, "Would you care to talk a while with me? I wish to learn what you are, and how you came to be in the... care of the aboleths. You appear to be an accomplished warrior."<br/><br/>He looked around, and pulled some rations out of his bag of holding, and offered them to the Sahuagin, before taking a bite himself.
