Lawrance ponders for a moment, then responds with his stance : "I don't see a need to wipe out this colony totally. In fact, it might be more trouble than we want. Besides, it's a distraction for our main purposes here - the location of the mask, and our half-dead scryer. Let's destroy the bridge after we cross, and go use the font of divination, and leave. We've done serious damage to this nest already an taken out their demi-god."
Out of Character: Any inventory on the loot, yet?
Lia nods at this." It is senseless to wipe out the hatchery. I will not participate in the slaughter of young creatures whether they grow up evil or not. In my opinion we use the pool, take care of Diderius and get away from here as quickly as possible."
The group decides to take what they have and leave the remaining Yuanti be. Soon enough our heroes find themselves once again in the room with the scrying pool, outside of the space where Diderius lies helpless.

" Well, unless I'm mistaken we now need that strange looking sphere, that Lawrence has. Do we also need to feed more water, into the pool,"? Tazskan, says to the group.
"Can, we do this by activating the sluce, next to the well upstairs,"? He adds.
"Then, what about Diderius, who's adjacent in next room,"? He adds.
Reviewing what was learned by the identify done on the sphere hours ago, Lawrance says "Perhaps Varram shouldn't be in the room or within earshot when we use the pool, hmm?" After a choice is made with regards to their prisoners, he continues "The sphere unlocks the pool's magic. We will need clean water in the font to view the results, I believe. Are there any here who can create or call clean water for us? After that, we gather those with any magic ability - arcane or divine - around the pool and concentrate on our target white mask. Diderius' power should do the rest." While he speaks, he makes good use of his own magics, cleaning and shining the entire font to an almost new condition, the years of grime and detritus compressed into a dark pile in the corner of the room. "Many fonts like these develop patterns in their use, over time, and it may be difficult to keep focused on what we want to see. Don't let it's well-worn paths of viewing other things distract you."
Specific Action: Cantrips to clean, History to add +4 to the next roll by another, probably for concentration on scrying.
Out of Character: Dai, There were no details on how to use the device, so I'm ad-libbing, but if there is a specific method we need to use, let me know and I'll edit.
Lia studies the pool intently." I can control water that is available. I can't create water from nothing however." She shakes her head in frustration and looks at the others.
Mari stands back watching the exits with both blades drawn.
