Now where am I?! (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Just that, nothing more.

"That's a worthwhile effort, then," Ilsenine remarks. "New arts and techniques are worth pursuing."

[Nephrite]

"In theory, if the same idea is on the next floor..." Moore rubs his chin. "We'd probably get some sort of huge gem that's a combination of all the other gem types. I mean, that's just a guess, of course, but I think it's worth trying to follow the same idea again."

[Anastasia]

"What would that even be?" Ilsenine asks, "Can you combine gemstones like that?"

[Nephrite]

"Well, normally, no." Moore says. "But we are in Limbo. Hm, do you want to risk dealing with the room that has all the stone shapes in one? We're a bit ahead in terms of the puzzle for this next area, so we can probably forego messing with that one if you want. The one I am curious about is the three lines and the sphere." He says as he rubs his chin. "Other than that, though, I think that was it on this floor."

[Anastasia]

"Let's go," Ilsenine agrees.

Going up?

[Nephrite]

Yep, going to go the actual stairs that lead up.

[Anastasia]

You go up. This leads to a room with a stairway going up (and one going down back the way you came). It's unremarkable and has no passages, only the stairs going up.

A dot and two hexagons are embedded in the back wall.

[Nephrite]

Moore frowns. "I don't know if we want to mess with two hexagons at once."

[Anastasia]

"Indeed. To do what, light up the stairs?" Ilsenine shakes her head. "Foolhardy."

[Nephrite]

"I still wonder what that was accomplishing. Maybe to point us in the right direction...?" He shrugs. "Either way... we either proceed up or try and go back to the previous floor and see if there's some other way up here."

[Anastasia]

"I suggest we go up," Ilsenine says, "That is the goal of this."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Then let us ascend." He takes Ilsenine's hand and heads up!

[Anastasia]

This room is small, unremarkable. Save for the fact that the floor ripples with waves going through it and you hear the sound of crashing water from somewhere.

There are passage to the east and to the west, as well as back down.

There is a stone line, pentagon, hexagon and octagon resting on the floor near the stairs.

[Nephrite]

"Hmm. We know what three of them do. Do you think we should find one with less or chance it?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

"The real question is if we desire treasure enough to gamble," Ilsenine says, "We may need to operate it later, regardless."
