Detour

by Echo

PERSONAL LOG:
 
We were on our way down the coast to investigate one of the bombings. On our way, Gidget experimented on some blast cans. I watched with intrigue as she worked. She decided to ice blast an owl for some reason. Maybe she figured some scavenger needed a meal? Unsure, but I noticed she also seemed to take some of the cold effects herself as well. Another attempt seemed to have even more effects on herself from casting the spell. Like we suspected, casting with the blast can with lower power works, but unexpectedly it does have an effect on the user.
 
Ildris was awoken and told of the findings. He asked me to cast a concentration spell and was able to see the blastcan stayed connected to me while I was concentrating on it. After a few more experiments he asked if there was somewhere we could go that had a safe containment area we could do more testing. There is in fact one not far out of the way. A college that studies magic is located just at the end of this mountain range. Unsure of what we'd find there, we prepped our BRN identities and went over them with each other.
 
Everyone's identities make sense. I'm not thrilled with even pretending to be in the BRN at the moment. I still wonder what has come of Dr. Topip. He can't contact me anymore. A decision I didn't take lightly. I am confident he can figure out how to get me a message. Through the companions he knows I am with at the very least, if not some other way.
 
So here we go, on our way to a potentially dangerous place. A necessary risk to find answers.
