Suddenly, I felt a zap of Mana and Spirit Energy reaching me. It wasn't hurtful or an attack, but it was actually a special message.
Telepathy!
However, my defenses were so high I could completely deflect it if I wanted.
But why would I ever do that?
So no, I didn't do that, as I let whoever was trying to communicate with me do so.
And that Spiritual Energy was quite familiar, from someone we had talked with a few hours ago.
It was strong and icy.
"Elayne! Elayne, are you there? Were you able to deal with the camp down there?"
It was Khione's voice, and she sounded a little desperate.
What's going on?
"Khione! Yes, we managed to take it down, and now we're on our way back. What's going on?"
"Ice Trolls! They're coming here! And they're also accompanied by Ice Goblins and even Ice Orcs, and something else! I had no idea there were three tribes of barbarians!"
"Wait, what? Already? Where are they coming from?"
