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.
kobold and post-Angband Maedhros

Nod. We're definitely going to need to figure out a way of explaining how you got here that doesn't mention me, I don't want to risk making trouble for kobolds in other places either, but humans and dwarves should be pretty safe to talk to from what I've heard.
More spells?
lurkingkobold
Three more; she really is getting the hang of this.
I wish I knew whether your magic shows up to the local magic-vision. If it does we can probably get away with just saying that the teleportation is something of yours too.
I could try getting magic-vision first, if it can be acquired over osanwe and without any interaction.
lurkingkobold
...that's true. You'd actually want the light form, I have no idea how the magic-vision one might go unstable, but once you have it I can walk you through what you need to do to get through the dangerous bit of learning to cast.

Nod.
At some point we should check whether osanwe works through portals. I don't expect it to, but if it does that'll be very useful.
Maybe? You could make a portal and then go to the other side and I could try singing through it and seeing whether the song affected you.
lurkingkobold
Other way around, I think, you can hear through a portal the same way you can see through one, you have to be on the open side. But yeah, that's easily enough done.
lurkingkobold
Nod. I'll do two portals, we can try the osanwe at the same time.
She puts a portal in the sunset-viewing rock showing a boulder in a shady jungle, then teleports there and puts another portal in the side of the boulder, showing the cave.
lurkingkobold
The underbrush rustles; the kobold nods, scuffs the ground at the base of the boulder to break its portal spell, and returns.
No osanwe, I assume? But the music worked fine.
With osanwe, it's impossible to intercept a message not directed at you and unless the Enemy's controlling you totally it's impossible to fake one.
