Entry 30 Tower of Babble

by Vaz

Resting we find ourselves surrounded by the creatures of opposing forces, they are growing in number, waiting, this may test my abilities to the limit. It seems Varta has filled this hut with enough smoke that even he needs fresh air, and talks to these creatures, though they only speak what they are. The Law Creator asks us about Niv, says one of these creatures stated it while pointing at the tower and mentioning danger, and so Master goes out to learn more. Elya mentions long ago this experiment was meant to bring magic to all life in Nashantar, but it seems Varta's line was staunchly against this. The Skin Changer walks forward, and these creatures give praise, and requests an audience and a tour, though we were granted this already. The body of opposites, William, leads us towards a staircase, many paths lie ahead of us.
It seems that both the Soul Splitter and Master both hear voices from their trusted advisors blade and father, seems that this must be a trait of their brood, but it seems that I also can hear the Lord's words, in my foolishness I did not think on them and almost fell from the stairs. Luckily we have been tied together, and I did not expire in this trial. The next floor is already marked in my Master's hand, though a 10 against our current 7, though a door is also present. It seems to be in good condition, and well kept, the brass is spotless. Master requests me to knock with my umbrella, and I announce the arrival of Elya of the Tree. A small heat goblin comes and talks nonsense but thinks I am this Viashino. He hands me a wand after Master speaks his gibberish, made of the tree, and Varta names it a Wand of Wonder, and I hand it to Elya for safe keeping.
The door opens and the room and it is filled with many of my kin, vats of glowing green fluid with those of my bloodline, an army. This can be wonderful, maybe I could wake them, but the Master finds a dead Goblin and one of my brood, seems this happened long ago, kept stable by some biomancer fluid. The books seem to have been debased by some foul goblins, but no worries this mess will be cleaned up quickly. While we clean the Master and the Soul Splitter find some form of portal (pyrology, storms and electricity, metalurgy, alchemy, orientation, mimeography, continuism, geometry, plasma dermatology, virology) . Lady Elya calls for aid, and another creature arrives to aid, and tells us NIV is prime values, indivisible or unique. In the books we find the Master's handwriting, Tesadre denounced NIV they worked together on the war mind initiative, to build the ultimate soldier We also find notes about goblins and their skin runes mapping to lay lines, as well as a recommendation to replace them with Viashino, as they are weak against the Adversary. We begin our trek after these goblins and in search of orientation.
