They've left him alone in his cell.
He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone.
And then suddenly he isn't.

Mm.
If there was a way for me to see someone like that, that'd help, but it sounds like there's really no way.
I need to get going - a couple more things to think about, I can do a reverse pin hex to keep them out of certain places - wherever you have your weapons - and my first thought was a plain pinning hex with a password trigger, but then you have a problem making sure all the right people know the password and nobody else does. Maybe there's a way to use those in combination that I haven't thought of yet.

Sigh. Hug? Probably hug. I'm not happy about it either. But I think we have to trust their judgement on it.
lurkingkobold
You too.
Back to the cave. Oatmeal is done, she moves it away from the fire. They had a couple good ideas but nothing amazing, they're going to think about it.
lurkingkobold
I wish there was a way to know how it works - it might be that I could use the state itself as a trigger, if I just knew what to have the spell look for.
lurkingkobold
Yeah. My mage-sense would be enough to get some idea, but I'd have to see someone like that, and preferably beforehand to compare.
lurkingkobold
I mentioned that'd help, but I'm not sure they're taking it seriously enough to put in the effort. I'll bring it up again next time I'm there.
lurkingkobold
They don't think it's actually possible you're dangerous that way. I told them we should trust your judgement on it, and they agreed enough to help, but they still aren't taking it as seriously as if they really believed it.
lurkingkobold
All right.
I really should go get Findekáno soon, she says as she sets the viewing rock up to show the workroom.
lurkingkobold
She nods. I can set this up now, it'll just be a little while before I'll get back to deactivate it. Up to you.
lurkingkobold
She wants to hug him. He can probably tell from her body language even though she's pretty reliable about private thoughts now.
She activates the light portal and then swings back through the work room - your sibling wants to talk to you; portal; gotta go - and then to Findekáno's camp.
