Pretty much satisfied with what he's seeing from his vantage, Vinoh addresses Darghon and D'Aleen:
"Well, I guess it's pointless to waste more time inspecting this temple. Granted, it may be interesting to explore it further, but our friends on the ground seem anxious to get moving. We should probably head back down and go into this Tomb as we went into the village: as a team."
With that, Vinoh drops his telekinetic hold and starts hurtling towards the ground at great speed. A few moment before reaching it, he activates his power again, which cushions his fall and places him gently near the rest of the group. Guildmaster Lanodin had always warned him against such frivolous and showy use of his powers, but Vinoh couldn't resist. Indeed, he felt more powerful and in control now than ever before!
The stones around his head begin whispering their secrets to him. One by one, they infuse him with their power. Vinoh feels his body surging with vitality and strength; cuts and sores disappear shortly and he feels ready to tackle anything thrown his way. The stones had given him great physical powers, which would help him greatly in a place where his more sensitive abilities would be compromised.
Vinoh thanks whatever benevolent force had been gracious enough to give him such wondrous gems and vows to repay the favor somehow. Then, looking up at the ominous shape of the Tomb of Velix, the nexus of such unspeakable evil, the mind mage new that the opportunity for reparations would be more immediate than he could have imagined...
"Since pretty much everyone prefers a united team and everyone complements each other so well, I guess we should all investigate the newly created crack together. Let's get moving!"
Vinoh then falls in behind Attrah, scout's club in his right hand, the mind gems maintaining their steady rotation around his head.
