Noticing the figure, Lo is taken aback from someone being in this room in general. "You there." He calls out, still standing at the door. "What are you doing in such a room alone?"
Lo stops and gives a stare at the shadow before turning around. "What is this clue you speak of? And how can it help us? As you have mentioned, let us try and solve it."
Nenne moves out of the way to allow Allister and the gnomes a view into the room, sighing in exasperation. "Each floor of this tomb has plaques which give cryptic clues about dangers and challenges we will face. The plaque for this floor said 'slake your shadow at the font'. Both the font in the center of this room and that shadow creature you are speaking to are illusory." She glances back at the party to underscore this information.
"Most things we have encountered in this place do great harm unless handled with care and intellect, so I am concerned for your wellbeing as you stand inside there. Please wait and let us all determine what we may be facing before you do anything rash."
"I appreciate your generosity and care to attention elf. I will be careful from now on. However," the goliath turned his head once more to the shadow, "I shall stay in this room until proven otherwise." With those words, Lo steps closer to Nenne away from the font.
Nenne does not respond to Allister's voice, and only begins showing any movement after Boosey runs over and begins casting a healing spell on her. It takes a moment for her to open her eyes, and when she does, she looks like she's barely conscious.
"Nobody look...in the room," she manages. "The shadow...its face...All my strength, gone instantly. Alive only thanks to Kelemvor's protection."
Watching as the one who nursed him from the clay, the goliath roars in anger. He brings forth a javelin from his back, turns around towards the shadow, and heaves it in its direction.
„Lo, could you please look inside the room? We don’t need any more near deaths. And can you check if the shadow mimics all your movements and gestures? I have an idea.“
Angrily, however aimed at the shadow, Lo answers Allister, "Yes fighter. It mimics all of my movements. Even my weapons and attacks." With those words out of his mouth, he takes in a deep breath, closing his eyes, and counts to three. He opens them once more, and scans the room.
Lo directs the shadow to take a sip. When nothing happens, he continues to do so until all of the water is gone. A one-inch-diameter eyeball made of incandescent orange crystal appears at the bottom of the font as soon as it empties. The shadow remains.
After some time, he returns unscathed and now with a new toy. He tells the group. "After I collected the bead, I put it in time-out." He gives a wide grin. "It is now in its room, door closed, and facing the wall." He looks to Allister and says, "I too made sure to close the door behind me." Lo flashes the eyeball in his palm and looks towards his team. "What are these used for? And who wants the responsibility of holding them?"
Noticing the figure, Lo is taken aback from someone being in this room in general. "You there." He calls out, still standing at the door. "What are you doing in such a room alone?"
Made you look.
Lo walks forward into the room when the figure doesn't reply. The figure also walks forward away from Lo.
"What could slaking our shado- Lo, what are you doing?" Nenne calls out in concern. "Let's be wise about this and understand the meaning of the clue!"
Allister hasn’t gotten to look into the room yet and is very confused who the barbarian is talking to.
Lo stops and gives a stare at the shadow before turning around. "What is this clue you speak of? And how can it help us? As you have mentioned, let us try and solve it."
Made you look.
Nenne moves out of the way to allow Allister and the gnomes a view into the room, sighing in exasperation.

Made you look.
Lo moves toward Nenne and she drops to the ground, unmoving.
When Allister hears someone falling he rushes to the door. When he sees Nenne on the ground he yells „Nenne!“ He then checks her vital signs.
Nenne does not respond to Allister's voice, and only begins showing any movement after Boosey runs over and begins casting a healing spell on her. It takes a moment for her to open her eyes, and when she does, she looks like she's barely conscious.

„Lo, could you please look inside the room? We don’t need any more near deaths. And can you check if the shadow mimics all your movements and gestures? I have an idea.“
The shadow makes the same movements to throw a javelin and continues to mime Lo as his anger builds towards it.
Angrily, however aimed at the shadow, Lo answers Allister, "Yes fighter. It mimics all of my movements. Even my weapons and attacks." With those words out of his mouth, he takes in a deep breath, closing his eyes, and counts to three. He opens them once more, and scans the room.
Made you look.
„Ok, make your shadow drink that water in the font and tell us if anything happens.“
"Everyone clear the area. It is unknown to me what is going to happen next."
Made you look.
Lo directs the shadow to take a sip. When nothing happens, he continues to do so until all of the water is gone. A one-inch-diameter eyeball made of incandescent orange crystal appears at the bottom of the font as soon as it empties. The shadow remains.
Yelling to everyone, Lo informs them of what happened. "I am going to collect this bead... it could be of use to us."
Made you look.
„Great idea. And please close the door on the way out.“
"I got a better idea." The barbarian yells.
After some time, he returns unscathed and now with a new toy. He tells the group. "After I collected the bead, I put it in time-out." He gives a wide grin. "It is now in its room, door closed, and facing the wall." He looks to Allister and says, "I too made sure to close the door behind me." Lo flashes the eyeball in his palm and looks towards his team.
