Before they head in, Daetris casts pass without trace quickly. With the spell in action, she lets the others take the lead yet again. Just because she likes to run headfirst into danger does not mean she likes to be the first victim.
The sudden voice in her head has her straightening up, hands clenching into fists instinctively. It fades, and she looks to the others. "No, I heard that, too," she says through gritted teeth.
Ada looks thoughtfully as she recalls Maanzecorian, her eyes widen as she looks to the other "Oh my god... Maanzecorian is... or was the god of these Illithid creatures (or Mind Flayers). What could have possibly killed a god?" A look of slight terror crosses her face "What have we gotten ourselves into?" she questions. "Do any of you know anything more about Maanzecorian or about the Illithid?"

As if to answer Ada's concerns, moments after the mind flayer's death, the building begins to shake a bit as cracks begin to slowly etch across the pillars and the walls. As erosion of what apparently of a holy place begins, more than cracks in the foundation occur. Voices come and go in your head, a cacophony of thoughts, random and almost maddening. Perhaps this is what happens when a god of knowledge dies...
"Javor favors his younger son over the eldest."
"The source of the Tungakim River is at a place called Hinter-rock."
"Karrum Nionimo keeps a magical dagger hidden in the bag under his bed."
"Porcupinefish feed on shellfish and coral."
"Madarn is against killing the big cat."
"Shiny gray in color, chalcolite is formed at fairly low temperatures."
"The Drachenfels trace their ancestry back to ancient Blackmoor."
One voice rings about the rest before they fade away and the building begins to crumble down.
"I will find it. It will be returned. I will return."

Misha looks around with concern, pushes everyone out, and flees with everyone. Once everyone is safe, she throws back her head and laughs. It's a loud laugh, not a snicker, like a dwarven laugh - loud, happy, and unashamed.
"How you say? Not a dull moment here seence coming? Coming never dull? No. Ah! Every moment coming dull! Ach. No..."
Barkas runs out with the others, breathing hard, running as hard as his legs will take him. "Son of a nutcracker! What kind of place is this? These tentacle thingies are in my head! From your reactions, yours too. What the hell "will be found and returned?" Never friggin saw this. We are officially off the chart here!" He looks flummoxed. He pulls out his star chart, his beard is constantly moving, like he is chewing on something, likely his tongue or cheek.
Running after the others, Daetris doesn't spare a glance back. Her mind is still reeling, trying to deal with all those various thoughts slammed around. But the adrenaline makes her huff out a laugh as she darts toward the door with the others.
"Never a dull moment, I believe is what you're looking for," she tells Misha, looking over at her with a wide grin. "And you'd definitely be right."
That was an experience I could have done without. Shaking his head after the voices disappear, Kel helps Misha get everyone out of the crumbling building. He smiles at Misha's laughter. "Yes, never a dull moment! Life is just a big adventure that one must enjoy to the fullest!"
Chest heaving a bit after the exhilaration of running out of a falling building, Ada starts laughing a bit when she hears Misha "Never a dull moment... it's been non-stop since the inn!" Ada looks around "Did everyone make it out OK?"

"So! While we wait! Someone tell Meesha something interesteeng!"she offered, trying to think of something other than someone talking in her head just moments ago. And, well, also wanting to do something to pass the time.
"So! While we wait! Someone tell Meesha something interesteeng!"
"Well, let's see... not sure this is really all that interesting but just recently I was in Candlekeep finishing up some research I was working on.... lol, there was this group of 'so-called adventurers' that arrived looking into this curse that had plagued a nearby town.... anyway, one of the people in the party was this cyborg type female.... " Ada starts laughing a bit "she thought she was good looking or something because she kept trying to offer others her 'services' if you know what I mean but everyone kept rejecting her.... it was the funniest thing seeing her try to prostitute herself.

"Never a dull moment! Hah! Yes. Thees ees what Meesha trying to say. Also, what ees 'son of nutcracker?'"
Barkas looks up at Misha, it had just come out of his mouth after such a harrowing experience. "Well, see, we men have nuts. Balls. And um... well when you get kicked in the balls, it really hurts. A nutcracker is someone who, in a manner of speaking, busts your balls. Proverbially hits you in the nuts. So a son of a nutcracker is a son of a... well a son of a ball buster. I know this is strange and hard to explain. Are the any ball busters on Acheron? Will Bane "bust your balls" so to speak if you don't do his will?" He pauses at this and eyes Misha...

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Misha roars in a huge bout of laughter, shaking the windows of a nearby establishment. "Meesha hef yet to meet robot who like to hef sex. We do not hef appliances who want to offer eentercourse for economic advancement. Weel let you know when Meesha meet one."

Misha's eyes wrinkle in amusement as you speak. You can tell she's doing her best to understand your words. It takes a few moments, enough to make it feel akward, but then it cleeks. She leans in to you, not a whisper, but a close conversation.
"Ah. You are referring to male and female anatomy." Misha brightens at the connection, nodding. "Yes. Meesha make connection, Meesha understand."She laughs, but a bit more softly. "Can say to Barkas no, Bane no..bust Meesha's balls. Eet ees deefrent een my world - eef you don't follow orders or commands, you die."
She pats your shoulders, as if what she just said was nothing.
Daetris can't help but just stare at Ada. Her mouth opens, then closes, before she shakes her head and decides ultimately that she has nothing to say about that story. Then Barkas speaks. Misha responds. And Daetris - she can't help it, alright? She starts to laugh. She tries to hide the giggles behind her hand at first, but her entire body is soon shaking with laughter.
Kel's hearty laughter joins Misha's. "I find that quite the entertaining tale Ada. In all my travels I have never come across a warforged prostitute. Unbelievable!"
