Swamped

You consider staying hidden, but you don't think you can manage the Mox's intangibility. They'll find you sooner or later. Besides, the others would worry about your absence.

So instead, you opt for confusion. You make another projection, and have it approach another gateway. You repeat this a few times before revealing yourself; by now they'll be completely lost.

Then you head for the gateway you sent the first fake through. In the normal world, not enough time will have passed for the Master to connect to it again, not unless he can cast the spell faster than he can think.

You step through and find yourself surrounded by machinery. Every way you look, gears are turning. You can see a few paths through them, but you have no idea where any of them lead.

So you settle for making a little bit of noise. Perhaps someone will come to investigate.

A few minutes pass. You think you hear some talking in the distance, but the machinery drowns it out. You have only the vaguest idea what direction it's in.

Well, that's better than nothing. You take a path that heads that way, and...

A crow stands in your path. But you can tell it's no ordinary bird. This one was sent by Reth.

It caws at you, and flies away. Leaving a small package behind. A gift?

You open the package.
