@DrNoPuma: "I understand now. So... what will happen to me now?"
“Nothing, for the time being. We may find some use for you in the future, but for now, you will rot in here.”
You hear Polwat begin to leave the area. Some time passes, and no one else seems to come.
After about ten or so minutes, you see a bright light shine through your blindfold. It seems to grow brighter, and you begin to feel energy course through you.
You are now Level 3. Your health has increased somewhat, though you have not recovered from all your wounds. Furthermore, you have gained the ability Shrink 1. You can now shrink yourself down to a height of 1 foot, with the rest of your body shrinking proportionately. Your speed, melee attack strength, and other physical capabilities are also downsized proportionately while your shrunken state, though abilities such as Telekinesis 1 are not affected by this. When you shrink, any items on your person/equipped on you shrink along with you, although you can specify whether or not they shrink with you. You cannot shrink any item currently being used, equipped, or held by another person, even if it is in your own hands. At any time during your transformation, you can return back to your normal size or adjust your height to some other length, though the transformation is not instantaneous. There may also be delays between transformations, if you try to transform too many times in a short frame of time.
The light then subsides, leaving you to your own devices.

You try explaining how your spell works to Percival. “You didn’t answer my question. How did you come by that spell? Where did you learn it from?”

Despite your efforts, you do not see Blizzy anywhere within the immediate vicinity.

Gaaah, sorry about not being on for so long! So, do i appear somewhere else, or where I was before?
Oh look, a ghost!
@BlizzardeyeWonder: You'll appear where you were before, incidentally, though you won't necessarily be able to talk to Anolis's character right away, simply because I have to write something up beforehand.

@DrNoPuma: > Use Shrink to escape from my bondings
You use your newfound abilities to slip out from your bindings. The chains clang on the ground nearby, and you land on your back. You then proceed to take off your blindfold.
You seem to be in some sort of larger, isolated cell, with only a single, barred exit leading back into the hall. The bars seem to be wide enough that you can slip through them at your diminished size. Across the hall, there seems to be another chamber similar to the one you’re in, though there doesn’t seem to be anything immediately adjacent to it. Based on how the guards handled you, you remember the guards turning left when you entered this chamber, meaning the exit is likely down the right corridor. There do not seem to be many furnishings in this chamber, though you see a few rusty metal tools gathered on a table on the left side of the room. The chains that held you reach to the four corners of the chamber.

@Hamza678: >Explain how I got the power.
Do you even remember how you acquired it? How exactly would you frame the sequence of events by which you acquired your ability? You’re gonna need to roleplay a bit more, instead of expecting general commands to do the work for you. Percival’s response will depend largely on what you say.

@BlackMageAnolis: >Slowly crawl out if possible, divert the dirt away from my person if I cannot.
You have already uncovered yourself from the dirt, so you begin trailing back through the tunnel you’ve made. You briefly see a glimmer of Blizzy standing behind you, as if she had been there the whole time, but it could be just your imagination.
To exit back to the surface, you’ll need to raise the dirt underneath you in order to climb out through the entrance hole. Alternatively, you could adjust the dirt wall such that it slopes, allowing you to climb out more easily.

“That temple you mentioned before, right? Did someone help apply the ritual?”
There is a pause before he speaks again, “You wouldn’t happen to know how to get there, would you?”

@BlizzardeyeWonder & @BlackMageAnolis:
Just as a minor note, Blizz, your character doesn't actually experience or perceive themselves "disappearing," even though that's what Anolis's character observed. I'm not sure I could explain how it works in-game, as I'm not sure I've fully developed the justifications/mechanisms for how and why player characters may blink out of existence for extended periods of time, but that’s essentially what happens. Your character is there for one moment, and they ‘pop’ back into reality at a later point in time, although things may have shifted around a bit during that time. They don’t actually feel the space in time in which they are absent. It’s more or less a mechanism designed to accommodate for player absences, similar to the “player characters turning into statues” thing that happened in the Roll to Dodge: Savral campaign I ran. You can sort of think of it as the spirit animating the character in-game collapses in on itself/fades out of existence, causing the character to disappear from existence. When someone continues playing again after prolonged absence, the spirit regenerates into existence, causing the body it had controlled to appear once more. Obviously, your characters wouldn’t know this in-game, barring meta stuff, but that’s essentially how it works.
Although Blizzy had not been there a moment before, now she seems to be fully back in existence, though Roark has to travel a bit back through the tunnel to reach her.

@Hamza678: > Try to kill it. Make sure you've got enough distance. >Hit it with undead disruption.
You step forth and raise your hands out in front of you. You then activate your abilities, and a blinding flash of purplish light overcomes the immediate area. As the light subsides, you see the corpse begin disintegrating to a crisp, and the ground around you takes on a lighter shade of brown.
“Well,” says Percival, “I can’t say I’ve seen that kind of magic before. However did you come by it?”

You begin uncovering yourself from the dirt, however, Blizzy seems to have vanished, despite having been next to you just a moment ago.
