Illustone

"Crater Under?" Yulia asks as she listens to the voices speak and then gasps, "right! Li told us Illustone was found by a Dwarf named Argi who used it to paint beautiful pictures!" Yulia repeats.

"Wait... Are you saying the weapon is Illustone?" Cherchiel responds, sounding doubtful.

"Illustone?" Isalia asks.

"Yeah, I'm surprised you don't know about it, but I guess maybe it's not widely known. In Crater Under, there's two special minerals that were discovered. Coldrock, a mineral that gives off an unnatural cold and Illustone which is a mineral that can be used to draw in any color the user wishes," Yulia explains as the group set off towards Crater Under.

"So... the weapon is a... drawing rock?" Isalia concludes after a bit.

"I mean I guess it makes sense. The Illustone can draw in whatever color the user requires, which does imply the Illustone is either able to somehow 'know' the users desired color choice or that the user is controlling what color it paints somehow. The idea that it's merely an instrument through which the user applies their own will on the world, would answer the question of how it works," Yulia states as the group soon arrive at Crater Under.

"Welcome back!" Li greets them.

"Hello! We're here to get some Illustone!" Yulia states and Li nods.

"Right, planning to do some painting?" they ask and then in a quieter conspiratorial voice, "or are you planning to end some mind devouring jerks?"

Yulia, Cherchiel, Isalia and Goma all stare at Li, "Wh... You know about it's ability?" Yulia finally asks after a few moments of stunned silence.

"I do. I was placed here in fact specifically for that reason. They knew that someday a Chosen would come to get the Illustone and use it against the Old Mind and his creations, so I was placed here to watch and wait..." as Li speaks, they begin to shake and distort and then with a sound like tearing paper parts of them burst. Long slender arms ending in clawed hands burst forth from the body, followed by bat like wings as the tattered remains of the Li disguise are stripped away until all that's left is a long gangly creature with bat like wings, a long slender and wiry body, pale and nude with no visible genitalia. The creature resembles some kind of albino winged goblin and immediately leaps into the air, it's wings beating to lift it as it ascends.

"An imp... A creature from the Tower Below... But, Liloth's on our side... or at least she claimed to be, why are you trying to stop us?" Cherchiel yells to the imp.

"Well that's exactly why. My boss wishes Liloth and her works undone and through the Mindflayers, they see a path to that end. I have been quietly watching the Mindflayers work, their insidious spread a slow path to complete domination, it's beautiful and I won't let you put an end to it!" Li responds, their voice now a harsh screech.

They are flying near the roof of the cavern, far out of the reach of melee weapons, this is going to be a tricky fight.
