"<strong>The ones where Verdelets constructs met mine, and I met her. What other ones are you using? Her shield construct is better than what I can build, hers took five direct hits before buckling. Best I can do currently is two. They stay under those, can't do much without being in the flesh, so to speak. And who the hell said you could listen, oh dead one?</strong>"<br/><br/>Draiss snapped back as the gnome spoke 'normally' though his expression relaxed and a small smile graced his face. "So, the end game won't be until I have a son to come back to. Scary thought. Sure the multiplanarverse will survive there being two of me? It is barely holding together with just one me."<br/><br/>He stared at the wall for a long while, long after the gnome had vanished, before laughing long and loud. "This calls for a drink.

No, I didn't think you would understand, but you wanted an explanation any ways."
