So Terfel has a symbiont now. That is...well, it could go either way. On the one hand, change isn't necessarily bad and it could be a beneficial relationship and on the other it is from the same place as those mind flayers and dolgrims. Not that I really should hold that against it, should I? If any of my companions looked at a quori, they would be repulsed, would they not? Even if they followed the Path of Light? Something horrifying to look at does not advise what is in their heart, mind and soul. Just as someone who is pretty could be an utterly terrible person. Like that gnome woman or Dah'mir.
 
On an up note, I also received some new armour. Sure, it has a slight chitinous feel to it and it did come off the mind flayer corpse but it would be a shame to waste such good armour, nobody else would use it and if the mind flayer wanted to keep the armour, he shouldn't have tried to kill us. We also found most of the shards, I think, on him. More interestingly, there are a tonne of books here. At a glance, it seems to be mostly transfiguration books but some are in languages I do not understand. We decided to leave this place until later, after looking through the remaining parts of the laboratory.
 
Through the door is some strange orrey. Thirteen moons (which is strange as there are only twelve) orbit the planet. It is absolutely beautiful, even if inaccurate. What is strange is parts of it light up when Terfel started moving it. I am not sure what he was doing but it seemed to be more the Arm and not the actual Terfel deciding to do this. We stop with the uncertainity, deciding to also leave this to later.
 
The facility is so much more larger than expected. Multiple operation rooms, cells, observation rooms, even some dorms. I decided to take a bone saw from one of the operating rooms. You never know when such a thing would come in handy. However, I did allow myself to vent some frustration by smashing some of the vats which Warden kindly assisted me with. If this group have more members than Terel and Hugal, it seems wise to at least delay them in their efforts until they are hunted down. Change is all well and good but not like this.
 
The observation room was the most interesting thus far. Some creatures stuck submerged in some weird liquid. Again, they look...strange. Like bits of people randomly stitched together and called a creature. Like necromancy almost. I walked over to Terfel who seemed to be lost in thought. Or multiple thoughts as it so happened since both the arm and the Terfel has a conscious that was in a debate. I offered to assist him since he had somewhat agreed with the arm to release the ones that were friendly, in the arm's words. The others the arm seemed less keen on so was happy for us to kill them. If they are hostile and dangerous, then no harm in killing them but by all accounts, they will be tricky to deal with. We manage to dispatch the two brains with legs but the other we have left for now since it is the most powerful.
 
I then decided to follow Warden and Lei back to the library. We thought that by looking further into these symbionts and such like, it would make things a bit less confusing. Unfortunately, thinsg got even more confusing a book just gave me a headache when trying to read it. It's in a language that doesn't seem to make much sense to any of us.
 
We are going to look at the books some more and maybe have a look at the orrey.
