Lady Halia decides to grace the fellowship with her presence. However, despite an hour of trying to makes sense of their actions (reading some 30 pages of thread), she is still confused. No matter. She believes they are trying to get to the Cosmere, and for her, that is enough.

HAHA!!! WE SUMMONED YOU!!!

Welcome to the Fellowship, where having fun is step 1 and understanding the situation is optional.

"T?" Fadran asks, then turns back to the holed. "All we want is Eric back. That's not too much to ask, is it?"

 

"This is the blue holed that enthralled me. Let our friends go, and we will leave you in peace."

“Oh hi,” said Ene, waving a redundant hello. “I think ninety percent of us are off rescuing each other and doing prison breaks and being recaptured right now. If you don’t want to help them, sticking around here and being magical on cue if possible is a good bet - we’ll need it in a bit.”

"So, what are you doing here, then? And why is the king in that cell? I'm assuming that's Balhan whoever?"

The king is still disguised as Santonio.

"Waiting," said Jaxevist, turning his gaze back to Baalhan. "At least, I am. Not sure what she's doing," he gestured to Cassandra, "but she's the queen, she can do whatever she wants."

Would the purple gemstone allow her to see through that?

Baalhan does not react. "Did you not hear me. I don't require sustenance ever. I desire it." Baalhan tugs on the bond. "Obey me."

The blue chuckles slightly. "You have not the bargaining power to demand his release, neither in wealth nor combat prowess."

You might as well drop the illusion Baalhan knows that there has been a hiccup in his plan. If Santonio was standing before him he would be forced to obey.

Aridith raised an eyebrow. "I think it is you who has made a fool of himself," he said impassionately. 

In Baalhan's mind, the invisible threads he'd thought connected him to the holed began to vanish, one by one, revealing them for what they were- illusions. At last, Aridith's disguise fell away as well.

Queen had been trailing behind Fadran, Vapor, and T, invisible and incorporeal. She now began brainstorming how to convince the blue holed to let all of them go.

Currently, we're trying to pull the plot in a different direction so that you don't have to carry it. The Universe Hexagon is an awesome place, but we need a new setting sooner or later.

"I must say Aridith,  you profess to be a strategist, but have you ever wondered why it was so easy for you to enter my mind. Perhaps my spell did not accomplish my goal, but then I did not need to sow chaos. All that I needed was for you to make an error." Baalhan retreats into his mind and at the same time expands it so that his presence fills the room. In the language of creation that bore the original universes he quickly chants. The room goes still and in his mind the faintest remnant of the illusion reappears, becomes solid, and like an arrow it flies. It pierces Aridith and goes black instantly. It is made from a combination of the power that held the illusion together and the smallest modicum of power that he held in reserve unfrozen in the aether. In a rush Aridith's powers rush into Baalhan. In a moment it is done and the spell vanishes. Grinning he turns his new found power on the greens. Using his expanded consciousness  he enthralls them and his bonds fall. In a flash he banishes Aridith and 3 of the greens to the far end of the compound. He grabs hold of the green and repeats the spell. An arrow penetrates the green and in a flash it's powers were his. The spell vanishes and then it is banished.  With a grin Baalhan called his blade, he steps up to the observation window, draws his blade back, and in two blows which sends glass flying and splintering the window is reduced to fragments. He pushes past Cassandra and Jaxevist wordlessly. He turns and mutters a quick spell which causes the building to shake. The walls and ceiling begin to crack. Sensing the barrier on the doorway he mutters another curse which reduces the whole of the wall to dust. He enthralls the Orange Holid who ran in while his back was turned and had delivered several useless blows which had not phased Baalhan. Gathering in his consciousness he send the Orange on a rampage it exits as it starts to run amok. The walls begin to crumble as Baalhan exits the room.

I'm sorry, I didn't get any of that.

Exactly what did you do to fool Aridith and break the power of the holed?

[Nathrangking he/him]

Quote

The quick version is like this. To have even created such an illusion means that some trace of Aridith's magic must be in Baalhan's mind. This gave him access to the smallest part of Aridith's power. Baalhan used this in combination with power he had stored in in the Aether. It was primed to only react to his expanded mind. He expanded it so that it was no longer solely contained in his avatar. He cast a spell which granted him Aridith's powers. He enthralled the greens with the piece of his mind which expanded beyond the confines of his body. He had them lower their hold and he banished Aridith and three of the greens. With them out of the way he stole the power of the remaining green using the same spell. Then he banished the final green.
