Skalaz pondered for a good moment, he had been filled in with the details of the elves going out to face Raveintis but the how had not been included. It seemed that either the Master himself would inform them or perhaps it was they who got to decide what to pursue first… “Unfortunately I do not have a answer for you pal… I was not informed.” Skalaz stated, he didn’t want to give them a command one way or the other only to contradict the master.
Contrary to what everyone thought the Artificer was listening. Skalaz considered his options, a symbiotic bond using spawn of one of the elves would have been easier, but he guessed he could figure a different way around it… It was exactly the reason Skalaz had made sure to input silithid, the hive minded insect had a natural none magical form of communication, it would be much more difficult to disrupt that style of mental link.
Skalaz could feel every bit of his magic at work, Izzabelle screaming in the distance only meant it was doing its job. Recreating a body and enhancing it to be overall stronger meant the older one had to be stripped apart layer by layer as the materials and magic used to enhance the body were implanted. It was a pain process, but the benefits far outweighed the temporary agony, even if it was usually considered the most painful experience for someone in their lives… At first everything seemed to be going fine until… Izzabelle’s body started reacting… wrong…
Rapid dematerialization of the body? Skalaz could feel aspects of his subjects body fall apart, normally such a thing only occurred from arrogant and stupid alchemists who demanded a high reward for minimal exchange… The goblin wolves his other hand in the air trying to see if he couldn’t stabilize whatever the effect was with his arcane magic…
Now this was the interesting part, Skalaz could feel the change and components of each individual form, they lasted milliseconds but the goblin could still tell, this Izzabelle was even more complex then originally thought. At first she seemed like a created human, a highly advanced homunculi with the magic ability to change some forms… This was different, she was much more like Skalaz’s most recent creation, a chimera homunculi hybrid… At the last second of his examinations and Skalaz himself taking the spell to a roaring halt he felt Izzabelle leave the circle.
Holding his patient on the side of the circle was a very furious looking time elf. Skalaz immediately dropped into a combat pose, before putting a single finger up as he summoned a stack of papers made from arcane… Studying them for a the goblin relaxed… “Orion is it?” Skalaz chirped.
Skalaz heard the man out but decided he wasn’t entirely happy with the answer. “I might suggest you stay here, as it was my work that resulted in this, it might be necessary that I remain to help my patient.” Skalaz implored, he snapped his fingers causing one of the nearby walls to push back and expand into a fully new space for which Orion could work.
Skalaz totally understood this now in every way, he had seen Izzabelle do countless things in her few tortured seconds in the circle. But like a good mystery, Izzabelle was not one to easily figure out, Skalaz had a hunch even Orion didn’t know her whole potential…
Skalaz considered the options, he had very little information on the oblivion curse, something he learned from the master… However the master for whatever reason shared very little with him on the subject… If Izzabelle has such a thing it complicated everything severely…
“Now hold up! That might not be necessary, while going through this process one sees many things, she is the most advanced creation I’ve seen in a long time. Her enhancements may not be required, we merely just need to help her tune into the pieces of the correct forms she already has.” Skalaz informed, “It isn’t necessary to implant more species and materials into a individual who already has them.” The goblin continued…
“Again I implore you work here, we got any materials you need, even some time stuff. Those runes on the walls can be affixed to any place you need them to be for any purpose.” Skalaz said, “The only thing I don’t like is wasting time, Sericon is next, his own enhancements only to serve to further the bond between the two.” Skalaz pointed out, finally the Artificer knew that the last individual was heading towards them, the Nameless One.
