"Is that the only one or do the others carry equivalent penalties?"

"Blue doesn't seem to do much, white doesn't stop the pain but I haven't noticed anything else yet, spark thing makes my head feel– weird."

"Sounds useful, overall."

"Yeah. I haven't tried other colors – they do weird things the first time."

"Weird like what?"

"Spark did a huge lightning bolt, white I think made me pass out or something, blue is what started after I got bitten, red was– a few seconds of really tiring mental effort."

"A more extreme version of their penalties, maybe."

"Yeah, something like that. I haven't had it long, anyway, so it might do other things."

She looks around a bit – they seem to be in a small clearing on the edge of the fog, trees at the edge of it, and then a rather large mountain on the other side.

There is also a small tunnel in the mountain.

Elleira might notice that the other life-forms in her range are coming this way, though they're separate from each other. Might be Thario and Blue.

"Can I have my book back?"

"Yeah," she says, tossing it over. "Thanks."

"Don't mention it."

Maya looks at the mountain and moves so she can get a better view of the tunnel, then frowns and– glows yellow, with a slight wave of power moving off her and her hair blowing in a nonexistent breeze.

"Whoa," she says.

"Hm?"

"Enhanced senses," she says. "Probably gonna give me a headache in a moment but– that tunnel is definitely smaller than it should be."

(Her hair is still blowing in a nonexistent breeze.)

"Smaller? Further away?"

"It goes through the whole mountain. It isn't long enough to do even the half I can see from here."

"Pretty normal, by the standards of this place. I wouldn't worry about it too hard."

Shrug. Frown. "I can hear coughing."

The lifeforms are quite close to the edge of the cloud! Which continues to be green, though fortunately does not seem to be moving towards them.

"Probably the two people walking through it. They're almost here."

"Two people? – Oh, did you come in with others?"

"I have been traveling with them, yes."

And then: Thario comes out of the green cloud, coughing once and then flopping onto the ground.

He seems rather dead. Isn't actually dead, or at least doesn't seem to be to her Force sense, but isn't breathing or anything.

Blue is not far behind him.

"Don't suppose healing is in your repertoire?"

"Huh?" asks Blue, then he looks at Thario, sees the lack of breathing, and looks up at Maya.
