The hunt for goldenfire (Afina and Jaela, later Surraruthru too)

[Ebiris]

"Mmmhmm," Afina hums. "I've focused my fire magic so it can bypass resistance and even immunity with a little extra effort. Can you manage that, Wand?" Really she's got all the fire spells she'll ever need, so she's not exactly seeing much benefit in using the implement over just casting normally.

Well, situations like now where her magic is on the fritz aside anyway.

[Anastasia]

"Oh, metamagic? I can. See, you give me the mana and I shape it into the spell I want. Then BAM! Fire magic." Wand shakes in her hand, "Things burn up."

Arrel hmphs, "So we've found another Simmer?"

[Ebiris]

"Some of it's metamagic and some of it's just talent... well, we can experiment more when we're back at Aurora. Surrurathru, why don't you hold onto Wand for now so you can burn things that won't get fooled by illusion or enchantment?"

[Corwin]

"How much around you can you sense?" Jaela asks with interest. "Can you spot the invisible dragon?"

"Everything in 120 feet around me," Wand replies, "Like vision."

[Corwin]

Things seem settled with the wand, and so Jaela proceeds towards the unexplored path once more!

[Anastasia]

The party returns to the previous room and heads north. This right to a set of steps going straight upwards. The stairs look to go on a decent ways, perhaps two stories up, before ending and leading on. Climbing up is unremarkable and the path ahead only goes 10ft before coming to a solid steel door. It's closed tightly, but just besides it is a lever built into the wall. It goes up and down and is currently set to down.

[Corwin]

Jaela pulls the lever up.

[Anastasia]

The lever is pulled up and the door promptly opens. Ahead is a narrow hallway, and a sleepy voice calls, "Visitors? Mmmm, mmmm, mmm. Come further in."

[Corwin]

How could she refuse such an invitation? Jaela walks down the revealed hallway!

[Anastasia]

"Hi?" Kascha calls, "Who are you?"

Mirajane murmurs, "Yes, thank you, I can understand that."

Then the voice replies, "I am...Wait a second, how'd you..." To which Mirajane merely replies, "Seer."

[Corwin]

"I'm Jaela!" she calls over as she keeps on walking. Mirajane hadn't warned her off, after all. "Who are you, to the non-Seers among us?"

[Ebiris]

Afina is curious who owns that voice as well but doesn't see the need to add another question in to express it.

[Anastasia]

The party heads along. You soon come into a wide open room, much larger than the others. Here lies a dragon of adamantine, eyes of goldenfire blazing. It's 'only' the size of a large house. and it blocks the way forward. "I am he who is metal and yet lives, for Lathander willed it to be so. I sleep and yet do not rest, because I do not need to. I am Golden Heart. Who are you?"

[Ebiris]

Hopefully just like Smrgol this construct dragon will be uncaring as to Bahamut's curse on her brow, Afina thinks as she flutters closer. "Well met, Golden Heart. I am Afina Devilsbane. With me are Jaela, Mirajane, Kascha, Arrel, Surrurathru, and Wand."
