So.. if he gets his hands on you, we have a big problem?” You look to the witch, eyes wide.
Your master stares at you.
“Oh, that’s right.” You frown. “So, then.. that must’ve been what he meant when he told me I could’ve become part of something greater! But he didn’t seem so interested in me. It seemed like he was more focused on my dyadic wand and how to use it.”
“Well, there may be gaps in his knowledge. There’ve been vast leaps and bounds in what we know about magic since the days of demons. For example–the magical capacity theorem–of different species’ magical potency–is a recent one. He may believe your wand to be the best way to strengthen himself right now, but still, if he were to find out more..” Your master grimaces. “It’s best we cut him down here.”
“I set a trap for him, though I’m not sure how effective it could be.” You think back to your awesome rock-on-a-string plan, which, in hindsight, may have been stupid. “Should we ambush him down there? Perhaps set up a magical trap to get rid of one of the goblins..?”
“If you believe that to be the best way to deal with him. Of course, I’ve no doubt he’s got more familiarity with these halls than we do, and he could turn the ambush around on us. It may be better to fight him in the dungeon master’s chamber.” The witch proposes. “Those spaces are vast and empty, built to provide plenty of space to cast and fight–but we know more about magic than he does at the moment, and may be able to best him in a one-on-one.”
“Hmmm..” You ruminate on the matter, a hand on your chin–before you realize you’ve forgotten something. “Ah!”

“Bwuh–..” The gnome coughs after you drag her out from the mimic’s jaws by the legs, her face dripping with mimic digestive spit and her eyes rolling about their sockets.
