Walking up the street towards the central building Grey realizes that a confrontation may occur when he meets these so called travelers "I wonder, will I have to fight them?" Grey says to himself, as he considers the possibility of having to fight complete strangers.
Stepping off the road towards a clear area, Grey kneels down holding himself up with his massive shields alone, his armored body his only protection as he lets his mind focus to his God "Helm, my lord, Vigilant Watcher. I ask that you show me guidance in this task you've set before me, allow me to see what must be done, I am here to protect the people, I must know if they are innocent and thus will need my protection now. If they are not responsible then someone is out to get them, and my armor will serve as theirs, Helm, guide me, show me the true path I must walk." Grey speaks his prayer from his heart, not minding if others eavesdropped on his private moment, he somewhat hopes others would be drawn to the faith one day through his faithful actions.
Finishing the prayer, Grey rises off the ground and proceeds back to the busy street in Tychos.
"Damn! What in the name of the Spider Queen's Drider pet sock puppet is going on!?"

"The Adytum," The Archimandrite's laugh at Harahel's query is hollow; "Fools have spent their entire lives trying to learn what it even is, much less where it can be found. If it's even a place. I can tell you that the closer you get to answers, the closer you'll be to danger. Nothing happens that is not the will of the Unseen."
The deathless monk turns his gaze to the rest of the group.
"The Great Library of Tychos. I have never seen it, for I have never left Thossis. It is a place of great learning and wisdom. May you find some comfort there in your struggles against tyrants and manipulators."
His last words hang on the air for a moment even as their surroundings swirl and blur into something else. There's a slight popping sound as the Library halls come into view, the higher air pressure quickly filling their space from where they had stood on a mountainside.

Some seem to stare a bit at Grey's spectacle, but most ignore him entirely.
"What are you going on about?" An elderly gnome with a tall staff asks irritably; "You make absolutely no sense at all."
The gnome's gaze is sharp and feverish, his pupils as wide as coins.
"Ahhh, sir, I am sorry to disturb you. I am a follower of the Vigilant One, but I'm sure you are not here for a religious discussion. Might you be able to tell me anything of the group that was last seen with the Dean of Conjuration? I am looking for them, but with no luck at all at the moment I'm afraid"
Grey's words sound calm, for his own prayers are enough to give him hope and maintain his train of thought

Hiquinok unceremoniously thwacks Grey over the head with his staff.
"Are you a fool? Of course I know all about that group, that's why you asked me, isn't it? Well, I won't stand for it. You don't get to ask me things just because I know them, especially not dangerous things in public."
"I'm sorry sir." Grey rubs his head, wondering why he was thunked that hard for a simple question. "Where can we go to discuss this sir, I would like to know more about them and the activities they are up to." Grey says as he looks around for a place with a little more solitude

"Oh you'd like that, wouldn't you?" The gnome replies shrilly; "Well, tough luck! You can't get into my lab without the password, can you? No, I don't think you can!"
"I believe you are correct, sir. I can not enter your lab, not without a password I guess, but mostly not without your permission. But, if you are not able to help me, then I must find someone who can, I do not have time to sit here and delay, I must find them and discover the reasons for the recent events. If someone is in need of protection, then my armor will do the protecting." Grey says as he trys to move past the gnome

"And just what do you mean by that sir? How does walking on water help me to have them HERE?" Grey starts to look a little puzzled "I don't understand, are you saying they are not here but across the ocean? or not here in a metaphorical sense?" Grey starts to seem a little lost in thought

The gnome hobbles along, the greater two-thirds of his staff above his head swinging wildly in the air with each step at the peril of other travelers. He seems to mumble something irritably under his breath the whole way.
The entrance to the Great Library is on the other side of the city. After fourty-five minutes and sixteen near-death encounters, they make it to the top of the steps. Just as he gets on his tip-toes to open the doors, a group of individuals shimmers into view along with the faint traces of luminous silver mist and a pungent fragrance.
Grey can make out what looks like a small dragon of some kind, a paladin enveloped in a radiant aura, an astral deva, a half-celestial elf, what appears to be an inevitable, a glowing gnome and a drow female.
"You're late," Hiquinok says petulantly; "This oaf here is asking about you."
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
"AHHHHH" Grey says with great enthusiasim "I have been looking for you all. Did you kill the Dean of Conjuration or is that just a rumor? If you are truly innocent, then tell me what has transpired, for I will right it if I can." Grey looks at each of them one at a time, taking them in, studying them
"Hello there little one. What is your name? I am called Grey, do not mind my body, it is a curse of the Queen of Evil" Grey says at a couple of puzzled looks to his draconic nature

Grey laughs, roaring with delight "No little one, I am not exalted. My body has been cursed for slaying too many of the foul creatures. Her servant has done this to me, and only in his death can this curse be undone. But thank you for your words." Grey says with a small degree of kindness booming in his voice
"Tell me Adelanrashathan, do you know what transpired here?" Grey asking sounding a little more serious this time.

"Um, I'm not the best at explaining things. But I can try. The Dean was trapped by a really icky undead thing, she killed him, and trapped him in a gemstone. But we found it, and talked to a god, and did a few other things- I slept through part of it, so I don't remember. You should ask Lyrillon; he's better at remembering things, because I get sidetracked so easily..."
It's evident that the kobold is trying, but she's really not too great with details.

Grey trys to hold onto the little one's speech "So, let me get this straight. The Dean was killed by an undead and had his soul taken? You then went and found the undead, defeated it, and then met a god and talked with him? Alright I think I partially understand, but now I ask, where is the Dean's soul now?" Grey says with a bit of confusion and strict seriousness

"Very well" Grey looks to the others traveling with Adelanrashathan "Where is the Dean's soul? If it is nearby I will try to restore him to this world" Grey says with determination in his voice. He locks his shields together waiting to see what the others have to say about the recent endevours

"Listen Fool, I do not require authority to be here, and I don't need your tone. I am here to do a job, and I will not have some upstart stand between me and that duty. If you don't wish to answer the question then just maintain your silence and not speak with your foul vulgarity. If you can not maintain such, then perhaps I can help you with it."

Caught off gaurd by the gnome, Grey looks to the little man "Why are we going to the Dean's palace? If he is dead nothing can be done until the soul is brought back here for me to use. Or are you saying that they have the soul with them?" Grey says, glad to avoid the confrontation with the other being of Adelanrashathan's group

"You are free to try Knave, your job is of little importance to me, your lack of Empirial Authority means that by any mortal reasoning i have nothing to worry about and you are a fool to even try and force your questions on us" is all Neishu says as he moves towards the door.
