   Valas´to Pharaun's eyes a ;monster; rising from the lake´waved a webbed paw in a desperate attempt to fend off whatever magical attack was about to be launched at him。 Shaking his head察he pointed to the kukris sheathed at his hip。
   Pharaun察oblivious察touched his forefingers to his eyes and flicked them downward察releasing his spell。 Valas felt a wash of magical energy tingle through his skin察and he flinched。 Flexing his claws still deeper into the crevices to which he clung察he waited for death to take him。
   Above him察Pharaun's eyes widened。
   Lifting a hand察he signed rapidly察Valas It is you。 What happened
   Sighing water in a trickle over his chin察Valas realized he had been reprieved。 Pharaun had recognized him by his kukris察after all´the spell had just been one that allowed him to see through the misshapen form Valas wore察to confirm the mercenary's identity。 He signed one brief word´Wait´and inhaled once again from his bag。
   Valas climbed up to where Pharaun crouched察and heaved himself over the edge into the tunnel。 Slipping into the river察he grabbed a rock to hold himself against the current that threatened to carry him over the waterfall。
   Quenthel察Danifae察and the hulking Jeggred were all still waiting by the river's edge。 The vipers in Quenthel's whip lifted their heads and quivered in alarm as they saw Valas察and Jeggred sniffed the air and bared his teeth察but Pharaun told them that the drow´thing was察in fact察their panion。 Danifae stared at Valas with an expression of open disgust察her perfect lips slightly curled察then she turned away。
   ;Well拭─Quenthel demanded。 ;Did you find the ship of chaos拭
   Valas shook his head。 Using the silent speech察he told his story察ducking his head underwater each time he needed to breathe。 Pharaun listened closely察looking grim as Valas told of his capture察then giving a congratulatory nod as the mercenary described his escape。 Quenthel's expression察however察had not changed。 Her lips remained tight察while her eyes blazed。
   She turned on Pharaun察the vipers in her whip writhing察and said察 Your demon was lying。 The ship isn't here。;
   Pharaun raised an eyebrow and asked察 My demon拭
   ;We're no farther ahead than when we started察─Quenthel said。 ;You should have kept questioning Belshazu about gates。 This rothe´dung story about a ship of chaos was obviously just a lie to throw us off the track。;
   ;Off the track of what拭─Pharaun asked察glaring back。 ;The only gate around here is the one in your imagination。 And it was your bright idea to have me summon a demon in the first place。;
   Valas didn't like the look in the mage's eyes。 Once again察Pharaun and Quenthel were on the verge of ing to blows。 The Master of Sorcere let a hand drift behind his back and had his fingers flexed察ready to cast a spell。 Jeggred crouched behind his aunt察clearly ready to spring at Pharaun's throat if any suspicious move was made。 Danifae察meanwhile察folded her arms across her chest and stared defiantly at Pharaun´while simultaneously edging out of the path of whatever spell he was about to cast。
   Valas察sick of their endless bickering and ready to die anyway察having delivered his report察slammed the flat of his dagger against the stone floor of the tunnel。 Sparks exploded out from the blade like ripples from a rock hurled into a pond察crackling against both Pharaun's and Quenthel's feet。 Each jumped back´Quenthel immediately drawing her whip。
   ;Insolent male察─she sneered。
   The vipers spat察their fangs dripping venom。
   Valas could see she was itching to use the whip against him。
   Please do察he signed。 It is the swiftest way。
   Quenthel frowned察confused by his reply察but Pharaun's mind proved the quicker again。
   ;There is no need for that察valued mercenary察─the wizard said。 ;I can restore you to your proper察air´breathing察drow form。;
   Valas blinked察all thoughts of the viper whip driven from his mind。
   You can拭the scout signed。 But you don't have healing magic。
   ;That's true察but I can´;
   Quenthel spun´an awkward movement察forced to crouch as she was by the low ceiling´and said to the mage察 You can do nothing。 You will do nothing。 Valas will return to the lake and continue to search for the ship。;
   ;He'll only be captured if you send him back察─Pharaun objected。 ;He has no way to protect himself。 The aboleth will eat him this time。;
   He paused察and a thoughtful look crossed his face。
   ;Just as察─the Master of Sorcere went on察 they have eaten others who dared trespass in their waters。 Including察perhaps察any manes who survived after the shipwreck。 And if they did eat any of these petty demons and thus acquired their memories。 。 。 。;
   Quenthel at last understood。
   ;The aboleth would know where the ship of chaos sank察─she finished for him even as her vipers writhed in anticipation。
   Pharaun turned back to Valas and asked察 What is the name of the city's matriarch拭
   Using sign察Valas spelled the name out phonetically。 O´o´t´h´o´o´n。
   Pharaun nodded察then stared out over the lake。 It was clear to Valas what the mage was thinking。 Pharaun intended to meet with Zanhoriloch's matriarch himself察to ask her for information。 Pharaun had powerful spells察including one he seemed confident would shield him against the aboleth's mind magic。 The scout was certain the mage could handle the situation察but then Valas had thought the same of himself。
   Then came a surprise。
   ;I will go察too察─Danifae said。
   Quenthel started to object察then gave the Melarn battle´captive a long察pondering look。 After one glance at the uncertain motions of the vipers in the high priestess's whip察Valas could guess the questions that must have been ing to Quenthel's mind。
   Was Danifae offering to keep an eye on Pharaun to ensure that he remained loyal to Quenthel察in the hope of regaining her superior's favor拭Or did she have some ulterior察even more selfish motive in mind拭In the end it seemed not to matter察for Quenthel nodded。
   Valas ducked his head for another breath察then he reached out and tapped on the mage's boot。
   You said you had something other than healing magic that could help me察he reminded Pharaun。
   Pharaun's lips parted in an ;ah察─and he nodded。 He reached into a pocket of his piwafwi and pulled out a small brown cocoon。 Crumbling it between thumb and forefinger察he let the fragments drift down onto Valas's head。 Then察waving his hands over the flakes that stuck to the mercenary's wet scalp察he began a spell。
   Kneeling察Pharaun leaned over Valas and shouted in his ear察 Exhale Quickly 
   Valas did and an instant later felt a powerful wrench shudder through his body as the spell took effect。 His tail sucked back into his rear like a snail retreating into its shell and his fused fingers sprang apart察the webs disappearing。 Hair erupted on the top of his head察and the skin of his arms察legs察and chest tingled as the membrane that had been cloaking his body disappeared。
   The scout was coughing violently察retching the last of the lake water from his lungs。 Even though it hurt察he didn't care。 Instead he was filled with relief。 Pharaun had restored him to drow form´his body was his own once more。
   Except for one small detail。 Staring down at his hands察Valas saw that his scars were in all the wrong places。
   ;What spell察─he wheezed as he climbed out of the river察 did you just cast拭
   Pharaun察still kneeling察was directing a second spell upon him察one that requited no arcane material ponent to cast。 Valas saw the mage's shoulders slump as he pleted it and knew it had cost Pharaun a piece of himself。
   ;I polymorphed you察─Pharaun said when he was done。 ;I shaped your body into a pretty good likeness of its old self察if I do say so myself。 Until something dispels it察that is。 Be thankful that Ryld's not around察waving that greatsword of his。;
   Valas察still standing chest´deep in water察spread his fingers to admire their shape and nodded。
   ;I am thankful察─he said aloud。
   His eyes met Pharaun's察making it clear he was speaking not abou
