I appreciate being given the go ahead, I'm a fairly anxious person in this life (which is just peak irony).
I'm not sure how exactly the mind-flayers managed to snatch me and Jaskier (our Gale never figured it out, either, though he was quite fascinated by us, how we arrived in Faerun, and in Witcher signs, which kind of worked in Faerun? They weren't the same but they were close, almost like the Weave reacted to the expectation more than anything else, like axii working something like Friends or Charm Person, igni was like a deformed fireball...), but they did. Jaskier certainly had more fun than I did.
Where he got to learn magic, I had to deal with the tadpole weakening me. Wyll at least understood that feeling. I felt like a beast on a leash. I certainly got myself injured more than usual, something Shadowheart outright refused to deal with after the run-in with the pack of gnolls near that one cave. Jaskier handled it for me until Halsin joined us, then he took over.
It was definitely strange. I know I talked about the monsters of Faerun being "obviously weaker than the ones I'm used to" but I'm not sure that's true. Maybe humans and elves and others in Faerun were just stronger than the humans and elves I was used to.
