Iorythas will follow behind her while keeping his hand close to his rapier even though he would prefer to keep his bow but was not sure if it would be wise to use the weapon in closed rooms.
Saralyssa frowns, stopping in the middle of the hall as she was heading towards the library. "Who speaks thus into my head?" She asks as she looks around.
Real was about to check other doors but sees everyone head for the south door and follows. "Hello, show yourself! We are not here to play games." He is is not shouting but says it matter of factly.
"Magic users are usually shunned by my people, but I was freed from servitude in order to provide support to an attack force sent to the temple a few hours earlier. my brethren were wiped out by the angelic defenders, but I managed to hide." The voice says into your minds. "The leader of my colony has been aware of Tempani’s work for some time and has been slowly finding ways to spy upon her. When it caught wind of her plans it began arranging an all-out attack, even making the near-unprecedented move of asking for aid from other colonies." The voice pauses, as if in great pain. "Our assault has been hampered by the power of the wards surrounding the temple. Gaining access directly is impossible, and teleportation has been severely disrupted. My people have only been able to attack in small groups and are easily mopped up piecemeal."
Iorythas looks around more as he hears the voice in his head, drawing his rapier as if he expects something to attack them. "How can we know that this is not someone of trick?"

Saralyssa arcana check... 30
(OOC: I was about to just give it to her, since she could hardly fail the check, but here we go, she just failed the DC15 check with a +12 to the skill... lol.)
"My name is Klath." The voice says. "Is it so hard to believe that others may wish to stop the angel before she stops time itself?"
(If you wish to try to figure out who it is, it is an Arcana check. If you wish to judge the truthfulness of the words, it is an insight check. If you wish to try to locate him, it is a perception check.)

Real will help to find him with Tykoris (advantage on the perception: 15 )
"How can we convince you that we are telling the truth. We have been 'summoned' as it were by Ahmzael the Planetar to help stop the madness. We have not other object than stopping Tempani. We would be most grateful for your help."persuasion23
"Very well." The voice says. "It seems I have little choice but to trust in you in this..." the voice does not seem pleased by this, and as if it swallowed something very distasteful. A moment later the air shimmers as an invisibility spell is dismissed. standing before you is
"Do not attack." The mind flayer says with a glance at the group. "We wish the same ends in this..."

Iorythas draws his weapon as he see the mindflayer appear, holding th blade up but not attacking yet since it has not attacked. The Yuan Ti clearly does not trust it.
Real is very worried. "Did you have friends who attempted to get past the dragons recently, I mean within the last hour or so? I worry that we helped the dragon stop them. But if what you say is true we need to work together. Please help us understand your motivations in this? Where do you come from and why?"
"I've told you most of what I know already." The mind flayer says. "The elder of my colony has been aware fo the angel's plans and we are trying to stop her. The problem is the wards that protect this place are too strong for us to get here in any sizeable force." He looks you all over. "If you are able to find a way to disrupt the wards blocking teleportation, I will be able to call in reinforcements that will at the very least distract the angelic forces. Wards this strong probably require constant attention. Their source is probably near the centre of the temple. Considering its importance, it’s probably kept in sight of quite a few angels."

Despite all you know of these beings, he seems to be telling the truth as he believes it to be.
Tyrkoris will follow Saralyssa and move into the library and look around. (What kind of books on the shelves that sort of thing?)
Iorythas will follow behind her while keeping his hand close to his rapier even though he would prefer to keep his bow but was not sure if it would be wise to use the weapon in closed rooms.
As you all filter into the corridor a strange, alien voice enters your minds, speaking without the use of any sound.
“Outsiders… You do not serve… the winged one?” it says.
Saralyssa frowns, stopping in the middle of the hall as she was heading towards the library. "Who speaks thus into my head?" She asks as she looks around.
Tyrkoris will speak up, but too loudly, “We are here to stop her. Who are you?”
Real was about to check other doors but sees everyone head for the south door and follows. "Hello, show yourself! We are not here to play games." He is is not shouting but says it matter of factly.
Lot's of stuff ...

"Tyrkoris and Arturan, do you have any insight into this?" Bjorn says. "Voice, what do you call yourself? Where are you?"

Tyrkoris will walk up to it and stare for a moment, "I will accept what allies I must to achieve our goals, for now. Come, let us find these wards."
"I will await you here then." The mind flayer says, stepping back from the group.
