Wyrm's Rock...why
there?
Quote:
Stella will most likely have used druidic magic to disguise herself as something small, like a rat or a spider.
Stella freezes. The doppelganger was extremely skilled. Leveraging Aiwë's memories effectively. Would they search for her outside or inside? She finds herself following her spider's instincts and crawls inside, behind a curtain. Enclosed was safer.
As she climbs up the curtain, she forces her mind into motion—but not a panicked one. She could do this. She
had to do this.
Would the Flaming Fists stop if they realized the doppelgangerwas an imposter? How many of them were also doppelgangers? Or was it
just Aiwë? It was possible that the Flaming Fists weren't corrupt at all—Scar was one of the best, after all—perhaps 'Aiwë' just told them a story to get them here.
But...no, that would have been
far to fast. It hadn't even been a half hour since Koveras fled.
Stella felt a hint of rage. She wanted to leap out, summon a polar bear, and start flinging fireballs.
But no...Information. She needed more information.
Duke Jannath...perhaps she would know what to do. Unless the Fists had arrested her too? It was a better bet than risking getting skewered by a dozen crossbow bolts...First she needed to find Dieter. Give him one of the invisibility potions. She needed somewhere to revert—and fast.
Stella waits for a several seconds to see if the room clears, seeing through Noctalia's eyes from her hiding place. If it didn't, was there a secret passage she could get into, like the one in the study? No, it didn't seem like it. If the doppelganger didn't leave with the rest of the fists, she'd have to climb to the second story and revert there.
