Belmarniss can now sorta muddle along in the local common thanks to aggressive use of comprehend languages to hand-translate books after roping a local into teaching her the alphabet. Also she hates teleport traps with every fiber of her being.

Mephistopheles listens. He has to.
The light of life fades from his eyes. Then... there's something glowing, deep inside him. His form collapses into ash, except for a glowing spark.
It pulses with energy. Once, twice.
