13 (if against being charmed, do the higher roll. Can’t be put to sleep magically. 23)
(Oh crap Oh garsh Oh no Oh shiitake mushrooms)
Johnathan:
((OOG Hmm...this is against, magical sleep and charms, yes?
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
So, you won't be put to sleep. BUT this is a charm, so you're higher roll will count. And it succeeds! As you feel something try to enter your mind, to comfort you as you try to probe the mysteries of this CRYSTAL CHAMBER!/cocoon...lol ))

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Interesting.... John murmurs. It’s almost like.. a trap. The cocoon tries to charm people into using it? No, that can’t be right. It shouldn’t be sentient. In his confusion, John inspects the cocoon for anything... magical, about it. Strange symbols, makers marks, etc.
Again, nothing magical can be perceived from this crystal.

"John....I would keep my distance from that thing.....its.....wrong somehow" and to Sarge he says "there were dozens of those down there, some open, some closed with figures in them, I ducked in to one when the place tried to collapse on us."
What is this thing? Johnothon stands up. There’s nothing magical about it. It’s almost...sentient. He pulls out his Totem. No say this will work.Huzzah!
With a point of his totem, combined with magical words and movements, Johnothon casts Animal Friendship.
that’s why I’m messing with it, Kash! You can’t learn what it does without testing! He says as he wiggles his magical totem stick at the nightmare cocoon.
I have faced nightmares before. Don’t worry, it already tried it’s little tricks. Johnothon says, smiling. That’s why I’m testing out one of my spells on it.
He looks a little uncomfortable about the Nightmares, however. Like it’s a...touchy subject.
"if it, or whatever it is that contacted you, was telling you of a date in the future, maybe it's a prophecy?" Kora suggests. "If it was overseen by the Inspired, perhaps I can connect with it." She will walk over to where Johnothon is doing his thing, and concentrate, trying to make a telepathic connection to the... crystal cocoon, or something... through it?

Sylrie had closed his eyes by now, they were useless, but also they were keeping the moistness that had begun to form at the corners at bay. He was blind, a blind soldier, they had lost Isuzu his partner, and now he could be of no use to the queen. Maybe Johnathan's magics would heal him, but what if they didn't?
Sylrie's breath grew ever more rapid and empty as anxiety took over him, he clasped at his chest silently, he didn't want to break Greywind's focus, but he couldn't breath. There was still a bit of pain as he placed his hand there on his chest, it wasn't from the panic attack even though he could feel his lungs ache for air, it was the tattoo. "For Queen..." he murmured, "For Country..." his words were silent by comparison to the commotion around the 'cocoon' but they echoed in his ears. He began to repeat the words over and over silently, and the rhythm brought his breathing back into check, he could feel the tightness in his chest lessening and his lungs fill with life giving air.
Feeling about with his hand Sylrie found a nearby wall, and using the sound coming from outside the cave made his way towards the other members of Greywind. He could feel when he reached the mouth of the cave as air blew against his face more freely.
"Kora, be careful" he said gently to her as she stated she was going to connect with it, he opened his eyes and looked in her direction, trying to make out anything but ultimately only receive the dark blur across his vision from before.
Kora hears Sylrie just before she tries to make contact, and turns to him. Seeing his sightless eyes, his questing manner, she swallows hard.
”Sylrie,” she says coming to him and taking one of his hands in hers. “I will be careful. And I will be as brave as I have seen you be, as I have seen Greywind be, as we fight for Queen... and more.”
Then she squeezes his hand so he can “see” her smile. “Besides, Johnothon is the one who will heal your eyes, he’s the one whose well-being you should be watching out for!”
”I’ll be careful,” she repeats, before letting him go.
Then she goes back to try to connect with the cocoon, or whatever is through it.
OOC > I do not expect her telepathy to work for this, but she doesn’t know (and really, neither do I), so she’s trying anyway.

Johnathan, your spell does not work. It's as if you were trying to use it to speak with a door.
Kora, you, on the other hand, have more...luck, with the object.

As you open your link to the object, something strange happens. You feel enamored by it, calling to you to take a rest in its embrace. As you start walking closer to it Shali pulls you out of your trance.
You cand feel both presences fighting within your mind, but with only one true victor. You stop moving closer to the object and you can hear the humming for what it is, the psionic energy in its purest form. Even now, cut off from its energy supply it still is harnessing a massive amount of energy. ((Which until about an hour ago would have been more than you've ever seen. But that chamber kind of changed everything.))
You know now, there is no communicating with this object. It has no voice or no intelligence.

Kora steps back. "We must get this to Arcanix. I'm sorry, LT, to speak out of turn. This is something... something else. This is a conduit, a... battery, to the power of the Dreaming Dark. I think it is dangerous, but as a knife in the hands of a child. And I am afraid we are all children here, in this regard."
"If my brother were here or even my sister... I am not the one best suited to dealing with this."
"Your more knowledgeable on this than I am, but Kora..." LT looks around, "We're not in Aundair anymore." ((OOG Midwest Wizard of Oz zing!))
"How can we even transport this thing. And a battery to the Dreaming Dark, that does sound dangerous." She looks at Kash, still seeing him shaken and at Sylrie without his sight. She focuses back on Kora and sees the seriousness in her tone. "Is it in your belief that we need to take this back now, with precedence over our current mission? I have no sense of what this means, but I trust your judgment on this. If this is as dangerous as you think it is, and it gave Kash some prophetic vision..."
She comes to a loss of words, the events of the past two days ((OOG Omg, it's been like two months real-world time...lol)) are weighing heavily on her. She's lost a soldier, two of her current soldiers are now disabled in some way or another. And now this...strange coffin-like crystal?

She looks around at the others. “Is there a way to get a message to Arcanix? A powerful mage could be here instantly, no?”
She shakes her head. “I know we can’t just leave it here, out in the open.”
