    Sarah gives it a hopeful look, arms wrapped tightly around Quinn's neck.

    I imagine, if the Champion would like to start her ritual, the little girl will stand to one side. Probably very close to Jamie.

    Indeed. And the ritual will take place in a more private area though.
    With Quinn sprinking the diamond dust around in a magical-symbol-like-form, before sitting Indian-style, closing her eyes, and starting to chant in a Gaelic language.

    And Jamie will hold Sarah's hand while all this takes place, watching worriedly.

    ((Heading off for a bit))

    Sophie looks Ghar straight in the eyes. Mister Ghar, why are you really doing all this? Ghar will hear the question as if there was another voice asking it in unison with Sophie's, a voice on the edge of hearing. The question will try to force its way into Ghar's head and force him to confront his morals on human terms, as if he was a stable human being instead of an unhinged, scheming ancient drow mage.

    At first Ghar feels irritation. What is it with people and always insisting on that infernal nickname. He hadn't even told Sophie and she jumped right to it.

    But then the spell, or whatever you want to call it, takes effect. His expression grows stony and his eyes wide. "For the same reason I do anything. I gain from it."

    The technical term is "Edge".

    Sophie got what she wanted, but she might want to wipe that smirk of her face. You see, The effect is fading rather rapidly, and that wide eyed look is quickly being replaced by rage. She found a (soon to be gone) hole in his mental defenses, and he's not happy.

    Sophie might find that her mental defenses are sustaining a massive mental attack. If we're using a wall to represent her defenses, Ghar's attack is like a pressure over every inch of the wall. Along with a barrage of spikes of force.

    He's enraged, but controlled. All he's trying to do is give her a taste of the power at his disposal. Show her what he can do with just a thought.

    If he's successful in shattering her mental defenses, all he will do is give her a splitting headache, and hopefully leave the impression that he could have shattered her mind.

    (Of course if he is successful this time, that doesn't imply that he's always capable of just punching through her defenses and shattering her mind on a whim. If I were to attempt such a thing, it would be a much more complex thing. Likely spanning over a series of posts.)

    Sophie quickly invokes her supernatural, mind-shielding conviction, strengthened by the fact that she just scored a minor victory against Ghar. However, the drow's assault is massive, and the hunter staggers on her feet, clutching her head. Nnngh.... help!

    "Teaching. It's what I'm here for." Ghar replies coldly. The attack stops as suddenly as it started.

    "I hope Sophie, that you learn well. You see, I'm no threat to any of you, regardless of your suspicions. That is, as long as you don't trifle with me. I can be a valuable ally, or a powerful enemy. I don't want to be an enemy. Do you understand?"

    At first it's just a shimmer on the horizon.

    Then a rapidly growing metallic speck.

    Then there's a strange triangular craft of chrome and ivory hovering hundreds of feet above GLoG. With a clack and a hiss it splits apart into six smaller hexagonal disks, a large central sphere surrounded by six slightly smaller spheres attached by flexible stalks. Each disk is roughly a meter across.

    Out of the sky they drop, seemingly unperturbed by the normal laws of inertia as they spread out over GLoG and begin to examine, scan, and catalog everything they find.

    One of the strange machines turns itself on its side and slips through the door of the main cabin only to find that the native fauna of this strange world seem to be rather busy killing one another.

    The device simply hovers there by the door observing the fight.

    Sophie glares back. Oh? So if we just lay down, let ourselves be threatened and tolerate your presence here you won't be a threat? Sorry, but no. What guarantee do we have you won't turn on us anyway when it's convenient for you?

    Reinholdt notices something reflected in the water and looks up. And watches the metallic things.
    "Great. Aliens. Why'd it have to be aliens?"
    Reinholdt stands up, getting his rifle ready, just in case. Watching them... zip around and... do whatever it is they're doing.

    Reconstruction

    The elves briefly watch the machines, before ignoring them and getting back to work.

    Lakeside

    Natalie has fallen asleep. She doesn't notice the flying saucers; she might later, but only when she wakes up unless they meddle with her dreams.

    Main Cabin

    The seven-foot-long millipede-like Encyclopede tries to take a photograph of the flying saucer, also sketching it on a pad with a black pen, taking readings using a geiger counter it took from its bag, and approaches to take a closer look. The one Tau gun drone with it hovers behind, ready to fire should the action seem necessary or if the Encyclopede asks it to.

    Ghar spares a glance for the odd machine before returning his attention to Sophie.

    While Encyclopedia is busy taking readings and drawing pictures of one of the disks the machine is no doubt doing much the same with him. Though no doubt it's using some sort of silly Star Trek sorta scanner that does pretty much everything without anyone really having any idea how it does it.

    Silly Star Trek stuff.

    It makes no hostile actions to speak of. Simply observing.

    Another device dips down just above the lake, a small manipulator arm descending from one of the six smaller spheres and dipping into the water. Taking a sample, maybe? After hovering there for about a minute it goes zipping off toward the shore!

    Zooms right past Rein and Andy.

    Then stops.

    Backs up.

    And begins to hover a few feet away from them. They're probably being scanned!

    The machine in the main cabin doesn't move or make a sound. Aside from wobbling a bit and a popping noise each time it fires one of its thrusters to stabilize itself.

    And it just now comes to me that Sarah still doesn't have a character sheet. This requires fixing.

    The aliens thus far don't seem to be good or evil.

    Maybe just curious?

    That's neutral, right?

    They're neutral then. Maybe.

    Hopefully.

    After sitting there for a few minutes the disk watching Rein and his pal will go zipping off to find something else to scan. At least it didn't screech 'we come in peace!' and then vaporize him, right?

    That would have been terrible.

    And overdone.

    Sophie's glare remains as hard as before. I will not trust you and you can't convince me my suspicions are unfounded. You're an unrepenant, immoral vampire who openly admitted to only being here and taking an interest in Sarah for his own gain. You're in no position to demaond to stay here.

    The Encyclopede will, once it has a decent sketch or several photographs of the strange machine, talk to it. It will repeat the same sentance over and over again until it gets a reply; each time it will use a different language. It knows a lot of languages; or more accurately, it knows many language but shares a link with a supercomputer that shares a link with beings that know many languages, so it has an indirect hive mind enabling it to share those languages. The sentance is "Can you understand this tongue?" The Encyclopede will start with languages like Archaic Martian, Huttese, Klingon, Navi, Tau, etc before moving on to languages less widespread in their home dimension, like Aramaic, Cormyrian, various Orcish dialects, Sindarin, and so on; languages like Truespeech that have power behind them won't be used at all.

    "Unrepentant? Immoral? What precisely have I done? Even if my goals are selfish, that does not automatically make them immoral. It's mutual gain." Ghar replies. "You'll find that you have few grounds to cast me out of this place."
