After an escape with Geralt from the fungus-like growth, Istredd looks at the pit they find themselves on and his confusion turns into concerned curiosity or questions about how to get out. He is seen wandering around the pit, looking closely at everything they can possibly see. As a tall man he sticks out, although he tries to hunch down to become less interesting in case of any suggested arrival of the people who took him.
He can be found attempting several things while in there. One is a frustrated use of his magic, focusing as hard as he can in a corner to get it to work. At one point sparks of light do show up, but they die as quickly as they appear. No matter how hard he puts all his focus into it, and over the course of the week he stubbornly insists on still trying. He swears and massages his temples through failure over failure.
Since Istredd is one of the first people to be taken, he reaches out to the newer arrivals as they come in. Dirty and a little haunted, it is clear he is doing his best but starting to fray at the edge. "Don't panic," he attempts to gently maintain his usual level of calm. "I'm sorry, we still have so few answers." He's barely slept since arriving.
"Get down!" He whispers sharply when a howling shriek goes out. He has hidden from the beast before, although has yet to see it. Perhaps you find him wrapped up in vines and held tight, struggling against them in terror, or you're in a similar situation, unable to get out without help.
Istredd looks through what supplies they have to try and make sense of how to approach all of this, but he looks exhausted every time. The experience weighs on him more and more as the days go on. He rubs his eyes, thinking through what the addition of people coming in will mean for the adding members of the Lost. "This is going to get worse,' he mutters to himself. He may speak up if others start to poke around there.
After some time there, Istredd starts to timidly explore the area His calm is shaken and he hides in corners at times, trying to meditate and find peace. It doesn't work though. So he turns instead into looking for escape, found looking through crevices and corners of the space they're in. Generally he is trying his level best to keep it together for others but observant people may be able to notice he's getting less and less able to level.
At a point he notices the mysterious acolyte and watches her every move, waiting for a chance to get closer. If someone wants to come join him or speculate, they can, he seems to be ramping up to how to approach. You can also explore found shrines with him.
