Which one next?
Water-Walker
You gesture, and the small one, Litessa, walks slowly and shudderingly forward. Kerritan tries to grab her, but you freeze her and telekinetically hurl her back into the wall. As she struggles, you gently reach forward and grasp Litessa tightly by the throat, choking off her air as you twist your hand and disappear.
You take the two of you to another room of the tower. It is large, probably taking up the entire floor of the tower. It is windowless, lit only by flickering torches which burst into flame as they appear in the room. The room is furnished with numerous columns, benches, and alcoves. The ceiling is shadowed, but dim outlines suggest various things hang there. You release her throat as she stands gasping and turn in a circle. "I built my tower here to enjoy the best aspects of all this land had to offer. You and your companions probably chose it for much the same reasons. A pity you couldn't truly enjoy the full effect without being able to teleport throughout it. We're on the sixth level; the third, naturally, is the cliffs, the fourth water, and the fifth forest. I thought you'd find this level the most... intense. You're a daughter of the open sea, free and spacious. The stone, the fires, the darkness... this room is especially frightening, is it not? But I apologize for my rudeness; I have only talked, never listening. You are Litessa, are you not?
