Shadow is reading the cursed book, Making Friends: A History of Necromancy The book is plain, white X marks on the back. History (10) not much about author, Xzar this book is erratic, insane, vile, and in no coherent way... as she reads it, she gets a strange tingle as she reads it. Staves off some injury, but then she freezes, only able to move her eyes. Arktos realizes something is off, about 2 minutes later. he comes up and starts sniffing and looks around at ship, sees Barlo and Calliope... he goes up to Barlo. Snaps a bit at his leg. then nudges him towards shadow. She's breathing.
