A pixie on a mission (Moore)

[Anastasia]

"That's what you took away from this?" Adrian retorts, a crooked grin following. "We use them, though apparently not right now."

[Nephrite]

"Sorry! It's a very impressive forge! I didn't think you wanted to hear about how impressed I was with it." Moore says, then brightens as he realizes something. "Actually, Sir Adrian, what is the history with this place? The whole... thing, I mean. Or is that a question for Miss Elena?"

[Anastasia]

"It's a long story," With a gesture, Adrian gets the attention of an earth elemental. He jerks his thumb towards Moore, "This pixie needs to be equipped and has 15,000 gold in credit. Go on, Moore. Get yourself ready and worry about a history lesson later."

It's time to equip yourself, Moore. You have 15k in credit, and remember that anything bought through Aurora is at a 75% discount.

[Nephrite]

Before I begin, can I enhance the effects of the Regalia of the Hero (MIC 207) at all?

[Anastasia]

Possibly. Take this over to the loot thread since this is loot discussion, though. Just copy/paste your question there. We'll resume in this thread once we have loot sorted out.

[Nephrite]

There's a lot of indecisiveness but after a few moments of thinking it over, Moore decides on three items in particular -- a vest, some armor and a lyre. He seems quite satisfied with the three of them and even has some money left over!

[Anastasia]

"They'll be made and ready for you before you go," Adrian says, "Do you need to rest or anything before that?"

[Nephrite]

Moore considers for a moment. "No, I think I'm fine. It's strange, I didn't sleep when I was there, but I'm honestly not really sure how much time passed. I think I'll be fine, I don't feel tired at the moment." He responds with a nod. "Where are we going, anyway? Sir Morniel didn't give me too many details."

[Anastasia]

""The Elemental Plane of Fire," Adrian says, "Don't worry, you'll be protected so you won't burn up. There's a fairly easy target there. We go in, crush it and get out. Easy, quick and effective. We don't linger long enough for trouble to find us."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Well, I'm ready whenever you are, Sir Adrian."

[Anastasia]

"This way," Adrian leads you to another portal. You end up in a library, great shelves of books far taller than even Adrian. They fly out to readers seemingly at random, the silence only interrupted by the sound of book leather meeting hands. Adrian leads you to a young man in a white robes, a staff resting next to him. An unremarkable staff at a glance, but occasionally tiny ripples of blue light play in the wood's grooves.  "Elder Magi Tepen," Adrian murmurs, "Moore is a new recruit and is going with me to Fire. I need him to be immunized to fire."

Elder Magi Tepen looks up from a thick book, gaze sharp and right on Moore. "Another pixie? A full defense against fire is possible. Please give me your hand."

[Nephrite]

Well it's no wonder he's confused about another pixie, he's already got him confused for Lief!

Moore takes a look around the library. "Wow, I bet this has the same types of books that were in Xiranthador..." Moore says quietly before he's broken out of his stupor. He does make an almost insulted face and puts a hand over his heart. "Why, sir, I am not just 'another' Pixie, but I suppose the grand stories can wait for later." Moore quips before he offers his hand to the Elder Magi, who really doesn't look that old at all, Moore thinks to himself...

[Anastasia]

Whoops, the joy of sorting out multiple posts at once. Fixed.

Elder Magi Tepen takes that hand and shakes it, leaning down to do so. At the same time his eyes blaze blue, words of twisting power uttered, "By the seven gates above and the nine pits below, I abjure you from all of Fire. Go forth, blessed and safe." He clears his throat after, "Pardon in the incantation, but protecting wholly against an element requires a rather sweeping invocation. No actual appeal to Baator is made."

You have energy immunity (fire) cast on you, CL 22nd.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles and shakes his head. "Trust me, Sir Tepen, sometimes you have to be very broad in the words you use, I understand wholly. Thank you for your assistance." He turns to Adrian. "Is there anything else you think we need to take care of before we depart?"

[Anastasia]

"No, we're ready." Adrian calls quietly, "Elena, we're heading out. Have Hanna out there for Gate." From there it's a quick trip outside into Air, a looming figure waiting for you. She is female and wears a toga, another angel with a scythe carried on her back. Her wings are curled in, her gaze powerfully boring into Moore.

"Thanks, Hanna. I'll send word when we're ready to be picked up." Adrian says, flying along in Air easily.
