Date night

"Valar didn't mention anything either way. Given the setup I'd expect there's a sole safe point within the purified zone to allow teleportation so they can import supplies and export minerals without traversing the toxic lake. Either a gap in a dimensional anchor, or probably a teleport trap that directs attempts to a set location."

[Anastasia]

"This'll keep me busy," Jessica agrees, "I'll see you all soon as I can. Just...have the springs ready for me? I'm going to need a long soak once I get back." Here Jessica makes a face.

[Ebiris]

"I'll set up something nice. Just be careful and don't over-extend yourself. This is just so I can have a bit more than third hand hearsay on what to expect there, it's more important that we don't tip anyone off as to our interest," Alicia says, rising to her feet now.

[Anastasia]

Thus Jessica goes and...

Anything to do while you wait on Jessica to work her magic?

[Ebiris]

Nope, we're waiting on that now.

[Anastasia]

Quick d100.

[Ebiris]

[19:36] <@Ebiris> roll 1d100

[Anastasia]

You return to your favored office to do work. When you get there, you find a small, golden box sits atop it. It looks beautifully carved even from this distance, everything perfect and symmetrical.

[Ebiris]

It could be a nice gift from someone like Zaphkiel or Eblis...

Or Beezlebub. Wonder what he thinks about all this?

And just as likely a horrifyingly trapped thing to assassinate her, or at least inconvenience her. So she examines it for magic!

[19:59] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+36 arcane sight caster level check if needed
[19:59] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 54 > [d20=18]
[19:59] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+68 spellcraft with divine insight
[19:59] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 69 > [d20=1]

[Anastasia]

There's no magic to it at all, save a faint aura. An aura of magic that is not magic, an aura of overwhelming and glorious light. It flares around the chest a moment and is gone thereafter.

[Ebiris]

That seems like Zaphkiel, doesn't it? Well if something happens her avatar can tell people.

Shame her other two avatars are nearly a year away from being useful.

Anyway, she goes over to her desk and tries to open the lovely box.

[Anastasia]

Within the box is a small hand mirror, made of smooth gold and clear glass.

[Ebiris]

She obliquely looks at the mirror to see if it has any magic before she does anything foolish like looking at her reflection.

[20:21] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+36 arcane sight caster level check if needed
[20:21] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 39 > [d20=3]
[20:21] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+68 spellcraft with divine insight
[20:21] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 76 > [d20=8]

[Anastasia]

The mirror has magic - it is keyed to only work for you, Antenora, Latha, Syala, Jessica or Marie. It seems to hold memories.

[Ebiris]

Well, now she takes the plunge. Going to sit at her chair behind the desk, she looks into the mirror's reflective surface.
