Onwards

[Nephrite]

Nope. If he doesn't need anything then we will go on a trip to visit Mystra.

[Anastasia]

Okay. How are you setting this up? Just going to go over?

[Nephrite]

Yes, he doesn't feel he's on a first name basis with her so will go through proper channels for visitation.

[Anastasia]

This takes some time, but soon enough you get a message: You are cleared to arrive at Dweomerheart and present yourself to Erran Valin, who will assess your petition and work from there.

Any prep/anyone going with you?

[Nephrite]

No prep needed. He will take Xandra with him.

[Anastasia]

Dweomerheart is at night. Yet it is radiant with spellfire in the sky, shining as brightly as the sun. You appear within a ritual circle beneath a small grove of trees, secluded just off a quiet side road. All is towers and buildings, each surely a mage's redoubt or similar such thing. The air shimmers as you look at it, seeming to ripple with unspoken potential.

[Nephrite]

"Now we just have to find this Erran Valin." Moore says as he takes a quick look around. "Fascinating place... this is my first visit."

[Anastasia]

Xandra takes it in, "Dweomerheart is beautiful, more for those with arcane talent. Acts of magic and great mage works walk the streets and form before you. It's said virtually everyone here can manage some magic."

[Nephrite]

"I imagine there's a lot of magical discussion here." Moore agrees as he starts to follow the road. "I wonder if you're tasked with building your own home here with magic when you're given the honor to reside."

[Anastasia]

As you ponder that...

Gimme a quick d100 as well as a Spellcraft check for reference.

[Nephrite]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 48, total 48[/blockquote]

Take 10 for 82

[Anastasia]

You walk streets of wonder and magic. Streets that float, or with cascades of spellfire in the sky above. Wizards walk freely here, whilst witches and mages join them. You head past a park where a dozen men sit cross legged and float in the air, softly chanting this over and over, "Aldaboah, open and close. Reveal the way by opening the seven gates to power."

Xandra lingers here a moment, listening to them.

[Nephrite]

Moore tilts his head slightly as he listens in!

Take 10 for 95 on whatever Knowledge is right, here. 98 if it's K:R!

[Anastasia]

Aldaboah is an old, archaic word of Celestial that means keeper. It's rarely used anymore. Seven gates...a gate.

It feels terribly familiar to you, a strong sense of deja vu. A gate. A gate. A gate.

Listen.

[Nephrite]

Isn't that the name of C.......

He decides to listen and learn.
