Vanguard (Afina)

[Anastasia]

You find a hidden panel on the bottom of the now empty pool.

[Ebiris]

Afina opens it up!

[Anastasia]

Within lies a big green gemstone. It's the size of a human's fist and sheds a faint light that illuminates the recess it rests in.

[Ebiris]

Probably more than just a pretty bauble, Afina casts detect magic and studies it to see what role it has as an arcane focus.

[Anastasia]

It is. It radiates strong magic and is the focus for the pool. It ensures the stability of the Dreamfont and allows others to safely go into it. It also allows more to go into it safely.

[Ebiris]

"Specialised for dream magic, not much immediate use to us but we'll deny it to the enemy," Afina says, passing the gem off to Moonlight since it's too awkwardly sized for her to easily carry. "Hopefully that's the last of them, lets go back out and make sure everything's still stable then I can resume searching the place."

[Anastasia]

As you do, 'Afina,' Tepen says, 'We have evidence that Hiwa and Hiya are planned to appear in this city. Hell at least seems somewhat cognizant that an attack was coming to this city.'

[Ebiris]

'Well at least we've taken out their diviners,' Afina says, that leak now plugged. 'Let me know if they're sighted, I can be on location immediately.'

[Anastasia]

'Understood. We're progressing well, most objectives are taken or under siege. If all goes well we'll leave a force here soon and be able to move on, though the assassin is a concern, as is that.' Tepen says.

[Ebiris]

'Noted,' she says, heading back out and assuming the situation remains under control she'll resume her search through the temple with some helping hands.

[Anastasia]

You continue to search. You soon come on an armory. Several magical arms and armor are here, left sitting instead of being used. A few wands and staves as well, joined by a reserve of potions.

[Ebiris]

"Grab it all up," Afina instructs the soldiers with her. "Don't worry about using any of it, we can take inventory after the battle. Everyone will get their fair share."

[Anastasia]

A loud thunderclap gets your attention, then another. So loud that it's almost deafening, even all the way inside.

[Ebiris]

"Outside, move!" Afina barks, hasting her soldiers and rushing out without waiting for them to match her pace. This sounds a lot more important than some minor magical items!

[Anastasia]

As you run out, 'Afina, the twins have arrived,' Tepen sends, 'They're heading up towards the sun.'
