Sense Fog

Parthipan slides behind cover again, the wind threatening to blow him over the tent and into Elric ... and then the wind shifts, coming from Elric and towards the two spying on him.

Phil is able to observe the cord leading away well enough to follow it back to the keep, now.  Elric's voice now carries, as well: "...see.  Father can't help, but we'll win anyway."  He swears sharply at that, and then stalks away.

[Dracos]

~Follow the cord.  Let's go.~ Dracos shares the image of where the cord is going, urging Parthipan to follow it in.

[Ginrai]

Ginrai quietly turns and starts following the directions Dracos gives him.

[Brian]

Since both Phil and Parthipan are sharing the image, it's easy to follow the cord back to the keep, and out of Elric's sight.

At the keep, you encounter a problem, though, as the wind doesn't go underground, and the cord does.  It passes over the walls, sliding across it as Elric moves -- incidentally passing through the hundred or so archers on watch without them noticing.

After that it descends to the center of the court-yard, vanishing into the ground at the point where the giant pedastal sits.

[Ginrai]

Ginrai looks around to see if there's any opening he can go through and still be able to follow the cord.

[Dracos]

~That should be enough.  Radagast can take it from here and investigate the pedastal.~

"We know where to look.

Dracos turned to Radagast, pulling gently away from Parthipan's mind.  "I'll share what we learned."  Dracos focused, sharing the entirety of the images with Radagast, including where the cord lead.

"Beneath the keep?" Radagast asks oddly.  "The....  Directly beneath the pedestal is where the crystal lies.  It must be near that, then."

[Ginrai]

Deciding that nothing more can be done, Ginrai heads back into his body.

[Dracos]

"Indeed.  I may be able to help now go check that, but I probably should be getting back to the stormrider camp.  Is that enough for you to track it down, Radagast?"

Dracos

[Ginrai]

"We'll still need your help so as to make certain as to where the cord is heading to."

[Brian]

Radagast nods in agreement with Parthipan, adding, "I was able to see, through your eyes, what my own cannot."

[Dracos]

Dracos nods.  "Then shall we go now, or you can send a message later and I'll come.  If you are ready now, let's hurry."

Dracos

[Ginrai]

Ginrai nods.  "I'm ready.  The sooner we check this out, the better."

[Brian]

Radagast rubs his temples and shakes his head, mumbling quietly.  "More sleep ... ah."  Straightening up, he nods.  "Let us investigate, then.  This is a clue we can ill afford to pass up."  He pauses, momentarily, and frowns.  "On second thought," he says, "go to the pedastal.  I must see if Lord Ekim can attend us on our investigation."

[Dracos]

"Lord Ekim?  I'm fine with that.  We'll meet at the pedastal.  Come on parthipan."

Dracos turned, swiftly leading the way to the pedestal.  When he arrives, he quickly scopes out the area, looking for the thread he saw earlier.
