Action by Eirene

With the usual Suspects (Sophie, Eleyna, and Eirene starts to run the sample produced by Katrina and Dagon's journey with their typical evaluation, but then things get mixed up. Eirene oversees feeding a caged rat some of the water to see if it alters anything, with guards on standby if it gets out of control. They also expose it clear water to the substance to see if it overtakes it and at what rate, and how it reacts in contact with blessed water. Eirene also uses a sample of Elfsbane to see if there’s any reaction to the flowers and the darkwater out of pure curiosity.

Result

Out of control? What? The guards eye each other sternly at the start of the experiments, and sigh with tragic and utterly heroic self-sacrifice. The water Eirene wants to try to fee the rat eats the bowl she pours it into, and the rat vanishes too. Presumably either eaten alive, or if other accounts are more accurate the rat is now swimming in an abyssal sea. Oops. Alas, poor Ratigan, we barely knew you.

Sophie and Ailith do their work thoroughly, praying over the bucket, praying over other containers too - these hold the Darkwater without getting eaten, so that's at least something. They poke it with a pencil and the pencil disappears. They pray over another pencil and poke it and that pencil disappears too. They go to note that down and realize all their pencils are gone the way of poor Ratigan, and send one of the guards for more.

Then Maeve comes in, and with her acides, poisons, and simple soaps, proceeds to test them against the darkwater. Which absorbs all of them easily, and shows no change whatsoever. Whatever the darkwater is made if is clearly made to let anything in, and let nothing out.
