To Mineral! (Moore, 88 days left)

[Anastasia]

We'll start OOC. Are you bringing anyone with you to Mineral, Moore?

[Nephrite]

If there's anyone who would like to go they're welcome to. He'd ask around but not press gang anyone.

[Anastasia]

"Moore."

It is Morniel you pass and ask, a slight nod to this. "This meeting is an important one? What are your goals for it?" Thet wo of you talk quietly in a hallway, a moment of reprieve from Aurora's preparatory busyness.

[Nephrite]

"Important...?" Moore looks to be considering. "Well, I understand that Tryll and Surraruthru have some sort of plan involving a great deal of adamantine. I thought that Crystalle would be familiar with where to find some, or we may be able to trade with them for it. Beyond that, I wanted to further deepen our relationship if at all possible, though that was a secondary goal. I don't know how much the Archomentals would be aware of our... issue with Bel."

[Anastasia]

"To cleave to the point, are you looking to establish more support from Mineral?" Morniel says, "Beyond the adamantine."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, but I'd expect them to want something from us as well." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

"It is only natural, but Lord Crystalle knows the touch of kindness." Morniel says, turning his attention to the portal at the end of the hall. "Alien as he is, he is known to righteousness and righteousness is known to him. Perhaps in this we he will answer the call."

[Nephrite]

"We'll be in a better position to help them once Lifasa is freed anyway." Moore says with a smile. "So we can use that, I think. Are you ready?"

[Anastasia]

"I am ready," Morniel agrees. "Are you?"

[Nephrite]

"One can be as prepared as they want and never be truly ready." Moore says with a smile and a shrug. He casts a few spells on them before they go.

Shared Talents, CL27 (lasts for 270m), Tyche's Touch (CL27, 24h), Greater Improvisation on himself (CL27 270m), Divine Insight (CL16) for himself. He'll hold Surge of Hope for when they get closer.

[Anastasia]

You appear once more in the caverns of Mineral. Untold wealth glitters around you, rich veins of diamonds and platinum woven together like braided hair. Great heaps of gem quality quartz lies on the ground, bulging out from the floor.

"This way, I believe," Morniel heads to the north, "Are we expected?"

[Nephrite]

"They always seem to know when we're coming." Moore says with a smile. He casts one more spell on them as they go.

Surge of Hope, CL27 for 27m.

[Anastasia]

You advance as always. The palace is alight as you come. Shining, white and blue crystals growing out of everything. They shed a gentle but encompassing light over everything, a blanket of soft colors as you approach the gates.

[Nephrite]

"Hm, they changed the musical stones since the last time." Moore observes. He will fly up to the gates and wait patiently.

[Anastasia]

You arrive at the gates with Morniel. They open as you approach, the courtyard ahead. "Come, come, come," Voices sing in the light, a gentle whisper to your ears.
