Kalar presents his holy symbol, trying to remove the curse.

"As soon as I'm done casting, put the amulet back on in case this fails!"

Lynda will follow Kalar's orders, although she doesn't like how the ghostliness encroaches upon her.

As Kalar is casting his spell, Lynda's ghostly curse grows till it reaches her eye. Lynda notices a man in the library slow appear into her view. He's not wearing a robe like the rest of the people. He floats around the room reading books that other people have open. Kalar casts his spell and the ghostly creeping stops. However, Lynda's arm, should and part of her face are still ghostly.

Lynda is taken aback by this sight. She leans in to Kalar, and whispers to him.

"Kalar...whatever this has done to me, I think I can see ghosts..." She says. "I'm going to try and engage it, so don't look at me like I've lost my mind."

She goes over to where the ghost is.

"Excuse me...you. Yes, you, the one who's creeping over these peoples shoulders and reading their books. I can see you. May I know your name?"

"Hold on."

Kalar examines the arm, trying to learn what he can from it, either through his religious knowledge or his medical skills.

The floating man is a portly fellow. He has short blonde hair and is dressed like an adventurer. He has a pack on and a belt full of flasks. There is also a large book hanging from the same belt. He seems to have many items on, none of which seem to match. Lynda cringes at this man's lack of style.
As Lynda, beckons at him, he looks up. It doesn't take him long to see that she is talking to him. He smiles. "Ah, you can see me. How exciting. My name is Dan Rottlerwits and what shall I call a beautiful creature such as you?"

Kalar watches as Lynda begins talking to no one. Many of the robed men have turned their attention to her, one of which seems to be sure she is talking to him. Kalar notices that her arm doesn't resemble any ghost that he knows of. Most ghost loose their color, yet her arm is still as bright as ever, just sort of see through.

"My name is Lynda." She says gracefully. "Would you mind telling me about yourself? How did you end up in this place?"

"Oh, I'm sure you'd like to know," Dan says. "So, more adventurers huh. You know it's pointless right? The scroll doesn't lead anywhere. My group gathered all the items hundreds of years ago. We battled against the avatar of Prince Levistus and defeated him. But at the end of it all we found ourselves back here. It was all some sort of game." Dan chuckles as he shrugs his shoulders. "It really is hopeless, I assure you. You should just stay here, it's peaceful here."

Lynda looks slightly alarmed.

"That's...rather interesting to know." Lynda says. "I'd like to know some things. What items did you gather? I'd like to know, just to make sure they're the same ones we're looking for. Could you tell me more of this prince you mention? Also, what are your thoughts on Lady Moriamis? Sorry to have so many questions, but we need all the knowledge we can get."

"Sigh, I can never convince anyone. Ok, how about we talk more over dinner?" says Dan, with an eyebrow raised.

The robed man that thought Lynda was talking to him has moved away at this point. A ring of robed men stand around Lynda, watching her talk to nothing and getting no replies. Kalar wonders if he should say something or just let this happen. Voulton and Tammytharn have arrived to the scene as well. They look on with confusion.

"Right, nothing to see here lads. Move on and let the crazy woman keep doing whatever she's doing."

Kalar is interested in what's going on, and although he can't see anything, he'll take Lynda's word for it.

"You're a charming fellow, Dan, but I don't see how dinner would work, considering your current condition..." Lynda says. "I do believe what you say, but I just want as much information as I can gather. Entertain my frail hopes of breaking the curse. What have you got to lose?"

Meanwhile, Rachelle, unable to sleep, goes looking for a book on the kingdom's history. In addition to being an excellent sleep aid, it would be nice to know a bit more about just what exactly has happened in... however long this place has been cut off from the rest of the world.

She also asks around to she just what the edges of the kingdom are like; surely magical confinement must leave some mark, right?

"Condition? Oh, do you think I'm stuck like this?" says Dan. Then Dan appears to everyone. the robed men all looked shocked and jump back. Then they all look at the others in the party for a little while and just sort of shrug and walk off.
"I guess he was just invisible or something," says one of the robed men as he walks off.
"Hello everyone!" says Dan, then he turns to Lynda. "So, how about that dinner?"

Voulton wonders to himself why an INVISIBLE PERSON IN THEIR MIDST isn't cause for more alarm! Maybe there's a book somewhere about benevolent visitors who are visibility challenged...
