The first peaceful day

[Anastasia]

You can feel something flow from within, but it's delicate. You feel a few stabs of physical pain as you work at it as well, as if your own body was struck.

[Nephrite]

He takes another deep breath. He has to keep going, even if just to ensure that this would work.

[Anastasia]

Con again.

[Nephrite]

[21:14] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+22
[21:14] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 30 > [d20=8]

[Anastasia]

Ow.

You feel more pain, but power comes flowing. A boost of power, a flare of it within you. You feel it settle around you.

Your Charisma currently enjoys a +2 bonus.

[Nephrite]

"Ah..." Moore winces, but nods. Instead of trying to dismiss the power all at once, he tries to gently let it return to him and flow back inside.

[Anastasia]

The power trickles back ever so slowly, leaving Moore pained but intact, a feeling of his power flowing with in him, clear to him now.

"I warn you again - should you err and fatally would your soul, there is no recovery from that," Xandra says, "This is a path of peril and power both, Moore. There are few things that can destroy the immortal soul, but one's own machinations are one of them."

[Nephrite]

Moore takes in and out a breath. "I just don't see another way. When I go there... I have only my own strength to bolster me." He says. "I don't do it out of selfishness, or some attempt to make myself into something I'm not. I just... don't know how else to succeed there."

[Anastasia]

"I know," Xandra says gently, "Do you wish to heal and try again?"

[Nephrite]

"No, I think my body has make it clear that trying again right now is a fool's errand." He says. "We have other things we can look into at the moment anyway."

[Anastasia]

With that you go back, which leads to your next task. This is...

Okay, next move then?

[Nephrite]

Great question. Is Medi coming by, by any chance?

No?

Well fiddlesticks.

Assuming not, Moore is going to go to Xiranthador to look for the Cannas Collection, which can be referenced here:

If he doesn't happen to find it there, he'll look in ...fuck, what was it called, the Circular Library? Sorry, whatever the Authority of Wisdom's abode is.

[Anastasia]

The Ring Library.

Going with anyone and any prep?

After that, quick d100.

[Nephrite]

If anyone wants to come on a book-learnin' journey, they can come. Otherwise no.

[21:59] <Nephrite> roll 1d100
[21:59] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 100 > [d100=100]

And. Here. We. Go.

[Anastasia]

Books? Sylvie'll come, she - oh wait. Nevermind.

Cresiel will come with you on general principles.

The two of you fly on up. As you do?

Perception.
