I'm gonna keep on keeping on, following this figure.
You do that, and find out that it's Booksbooks3! which makes sense, considering you where at +2,0,0 and booksbooks is in the adjacent +3,0,0, which is where the figure was.
as your comrades arrive, you look at the stone and flesh. they look exactly like the ones at +1,0,0... looking in more detail, you notice a series of minuscule runes lined along the flesh, slowly glowing brighter, all colored grey. as well, the stone is covered in larger, more visible runes, but they're all deactivated. They probably weren't designed for separation from the whole.

Hm... the Basilisk flesh runes look like a combination of space-bending for shielding until the array runs out of power, transmutation to alter colour and other characteristics, and about 93 copys of the thaumaturgy Cantrip running simultaneously for assorted purposes. you think.
I'm going to use the scan ability of mine on the tear in the world.
Scanning...
It leaks the energy of your magic, and has a hint of booksbook's flowing out as well. it is the same size as your entry tear. poking your head through, you see [event redacted due to lack of mainupdate progress, whatever akerac decides to do] and what is essentially the sickbay, if highly damaged by all those explosions. In conclusion, you have somehow found your way back to your entry window, despite only moving forwards. that probably means that both basilisk flesh areas contain the same flesh as well. which means... space isn't linear or you are under an illusion.
You are now back on the main field, and may act... lets say twice on the main field, after which you will be out of actions instead of thrice.

I suggest we either rejoin the main fight or try moving in a direction that isn't forwards. If we want to stay here, I'd suggest marking the basilisk area so we know if we come across the same area.

You say these things, and realise you've already marked this area- in the process of investigating the basilisk flesh's runes, you stepped in the blood near it, and have been tracking it all over. the chances of there randomly being similar tracks are so low, that its functionally good enough.

You do that! new area discovered. it seems mostly empty, though there are many scattered stones along the ground... they don't seem to have any magic on them, though they are covered in redpaint, supplying them with high contrast to the desaturated blue-green of this area of the astral plane.

I examine one of the chunks of stone and flesh.

Hey, Godmodder, I bet I can give you a task you can't perform. But first, please answer some questions.
1. Is there any question I can ask that you won't know the answer to?
2. Is there anywhere I can send you that you won't be able to find your way back?
3. Is there any wish I can make that you can't spoil, twist or otherwise overrule?
Once you answer these questions, perhaps I can give you a task you cannot perform.
You, you and you- panic. Everyone else- follow me.
I move to the right

Red paint... that's weird. I'll pick one up and examine it more closely.

I suggest we keep the rock and continue moving to the right. I wanna see if this repetition thing is true when moving to the side as well.
