After following their plan through, Perry dives into the water and extracts what appears to be an odd looking golden fish.
To both their surprises, the fish begins to talk to them.
Thank you kind sirs, Im ever so greatful for your freeing me of the ghastly icy imprisonment, it truely was most horrible.
The fish suddenly stops, aware that it is beign stared at by the Baron andthe Penguin.
Oh excuse me, sorry, I must introduce myself, wherever are my manners? I am....
The following sound is rather bizarre and very much unpronounceable. After a brief uncomfortable pause it somehow manages to look embarrassed again.
Im sorry I forgot your tongues dont work the same way.... errr... well call me Balthazaar, Ive used it before when Ive met surface dwellers.... Anyway, I am infact a magic fish, and although my powers are somewhat depleted right now, I am still parly to great knowledge! Oh yes. Anyway, each of you can ask me three questions, as long as the answer is within this world, anythign you like. I would give you more but the Guild of Wishgranting Beasts might revoke my membership if I do, dreadfully sorry, anyway, yes, you Fowl of the cold sea and you, Lord of sitructive scienve may ask me three questions each....errr... Im repeating myself rent I, oh dear, this whole experience has put me in quite the tiz... You may confer with your companions if you so wish but dont feel obliged too

Meanwhile Brutus inspects the huge shell, inside the opening there are arrows carved poiting in, and some strange writing that doesnt look at all familiar. It would also seem that all the devlicious smells are coming from within.
Tarein: Well, I think one of the questions we really should know is where we really are right now. Personally, Id like to ask if there is anyone having power over this land, and if there is, where we can find him.
Despite his good intention in tasering the troll in unconciousness, the voltage required to knock him out turns out to be considerably higher than anticipated. It does however ruin the huge beings balance and he trips over, with his head sticking hitting the shells insides.
The others witness the head temporarily vanish while still leaving an intact body, with there is a selection of violet sparks in the air from where the head vanished from. However, almost as if nothing happened, the troll got up and revealled himself to be intact, head and all. Even as hed been getting up though hed realised that he had glimpsed what appeared to be torchlight in a cave...
Brutus brushes himself down and says to frank please dont do that again someone might get hurt still wants to ask where the sucker is. looks in the direction of where he saw the cave and uses his enhanced vision to see if he can see more
Brutus examines the shell with his enhanced sight. About a foot inside the entire diameter of the tube is filled with magic, rippling gently like the surface of a pool and glowing with a soft violet light. The magic is however utterly invisible using normal vision.
Tareins interest has been aroused, and she will walk over to the shell and give it a soft rap on the side with her knuckles, just to see what will happen, any sounds given off by the rap, how tough the material of the shell is, etc.
After doing the tapping it seems the shell is very tough, you could probably ram into it with one of the ice vehicles and itd do more damage to the vehicle than the shell.
The tap echoes within the shell, but once Tarein taps again, this time past the point of the magic, and there is no sound. It can be assumed that sound cannot pass through the magic.
