As luck would have it, the bag contained just enough of these…condescend mana bombs for me to make it over to the remaining items with as little exposure to the Mind-Field as possible.
I'd be the one taking the risk. Mainly because Kaylin argued she'd done enough as is giving her hair up to be used in some ritual but also because it made sense.
Once I get all the ingredients ready, I'll have to start the ritual immediately and summon the swarm of Fey spirits to guide and protect me against the Mind-Field as we cross it.
Still, I feel a bit apprehensive about this. The very fact that I may go in and come out a crazy, drooling minion of Phien worries me. But I'd rather Phien's ammunition not be made of Mathilda or Leriva.
And thus, here I stand, at the edge, the precipice of the Field with Anselm cheering me on and Kaylin looking only mildly concerned about my return.
