The shrieks, voices and shadowy cacophony are the opposite of what Ree'lyn had experienced earlier on. It was almost as if cheer dread tried to make its way into his mind, his bones, his feelings. Nothing like the welcoming sight he had had.

"Here, Talike. Time for a ride." - the Drow says as he tries to push the ranger towards and onto the automaton.

Ash studies Talike for a minute before looking to Duke. "Carry her if you please Duke. She doesn't seem to be moving." She will then move over to Huey who suddenly stops moving. "Huey? Hey. We have to keep moving..." Ash studies him as he does not respond and glances at Duke. 

That seems like too much to ask... Time for a different approach...

She then moves to poke Huey's cheek, testing for a response before she takes a deep breath. "Uhg... Sorry in advance..." She winds up a little before suddenly Huey is smacked by Jezzika. 

"Oh... You beat me to it..."

In a catatonic, drooling state, Huey just stands there frozen, not saying a peep.  When Jezzika slaps him and Ash smacks him, he's suddenly shocked back to reality:

"Sorry mama....Huey got scared!  All betterer now."

Seeing how smacking Huey worked for the sudden paralysis, the noble stops Ree’lyn from helping the ranger on Duke’s back. “I apologize for this in advance, dear.” She says before winding up a hard smack on the others cheek.

Jezzika snorts in a laugh, at how Svana wound up for the smack. She cleared her throat to make it seem like she wasn't laughing.

Ash, hearing Jezzika's slight snort, can't help herself and laughs. "Never thought I'd see that happen. Who knew we'd be smacking each other. Anyone else need a good smack? Ree'lyn. How ya feeling?"

Her comment is a little playful but she kinda wants to smack him if he doesn't respond. 

Seeing Svana slap Talike back into sanity, Duke lowers the woman back down. "Declaration: This unit is made out of high-grade Dwarven steel. Striking it with a bare hand is more likely to result in injury to oneself than to this unit."

Phineas continues to fret with self-doubt, insecure in his thoughts and abilities. The slow drip, drip echoes, hammering home each doubting thought like nails in his coffin. 

WIS: 24

Svana squints her eyes in Jezzika’s direction after she snorts, the elf certain that the drow woman was trying to mask a laugh. She huffs a bit, crossing her arms while her cheeks heated up in embarrassment as she goes on to explain, “I don’t normally go around slapping people, okay?”

Jezzika smiles, doing her best to avoid the obvious, and waves her hands around in front of her face, as if swatting away a fly. "I'm sure! No, it must uh..must be the dust, yes." she coughs, fakely, and turns slightly almost cracking up in laughter.

(Ill keep my discord roll. Its not fun to cheat, so.....2)

Quinns head starts reeling, he stands, but a blank stare on his face. He walks over to the smouldering fire,...

And grabs a handful of ashes, no coals, still hot, and pops it into his mouth.

(What damage do i take, dm?)

(We will work that in at some point.)

As we walk along Quinn will scrape his nails against the rocky walls, or against the ground wherever he can, at points when the others may or may not see. (If seen he would immediately stop) "these noises... theyre killing me.." but he will continue nonetheless 

Huey, newly aware, witnesses Quinn trying to eat hot coals. Rushing over to him, he yells out “Fire!  BAD!” and slaps him on the back.

Svana sucks in her bottom lip to avoid embarrassing herself further, and when Ash followed along in the laughter, she turned on her heel and continued forward. Anyone close by her would see that even the tips of her ears are flushed red.

Ash rolls her eyes with a slightly amused look. "Look's like Ree'lyn is fine. Pity. I would have enjoyed bringing him out of the catatonic state."

After a moment, Ash notices Quinn shove ashes into his mouth. "Quinn what the hell are you doing?"

Huey smacks Quinn's back and Ash can't help but laugh again. 

Duke catches up with Svana. "Declaration: You assisted Talike. Observation: You display a tendency for benevolent behavior towards those you are around, including this unit. Inquisition: Where does this behavior come from? What is the reason for it?"

Upon watching the blank faced half-elf ingesting a mouthful of hot ashes, Ree'lyn grimaces and is somewhat disgusted at the thought that is what may be about to happen to each and every one of them. A quick move of his hands, out of anger more than anything, the Drow wills a puff of wind to blast the bard's face and make its way inside his mouth. Followed soon after by a flavor of eucalypt.

Enkindle scowls at Svana, though it only deepens if her antics don't yield any results. But... she doesn't say anything. Just mean mug her until she loosely apologized for the event, and even then a closer eye on her for a while, idly playing at times with a ball of fire. Though if Huey starts to approach her saying fire bad or some other craziness, even the stubborn genasi puts out at least her fire ball before he brings up the hand.

After about ten minutes of nothing, Talike jumps up, runs over and kneels in front of Svana, and starts shouting.

"I'M SORRY! WHAT DID I DO? HE IS CLOSER NOW. I'M SORRY."

After the original outburst, Talike continues to plead to Svana, however most of the words now coming out of her mouth are unintelligible. She passes out again after that.

After Talike's second outburst, Duke picks her back up, while still waiting for a response from Svana in regards to its question. "Declaration: The unit named Talike was severely effected by the mental attack. Hypothesis: Longer term care may be needed."
