Striving for 777

[Anastasia]

It's so much more. You're so close now, more and more pieces slotting in. So close. It's all coming together at last, the ritual almost complete. Yet seven pieces are missing, a crucial bit that defines it all. A portal to between and Beyond and more, a portal that is impossible yet you need just one more small set of pieces to solve.

248 points.

Moore looks at his notes... then back again.

"I was wrong." He ultimately says. "What you brought all but solves it. We have but seven pieces of it left, here."

He uses magic to make a copy of what he has so far. "Fascinating..."

[Anastasia]

It's nice that all the work y'all have put in is finally paying off.

"What's left, then?" Donald says, taking the notes. "Looks mostly done to me. A portal, right?"

[Nephrite]

"That's the problem." Moore says. "Without these last pieces, this should still be literally impossible to achieve."

[Anastasia]

Donald rubs at his chin as he says, "Well, go find those last pieces?" he suggests.

[Nephrite]

"Seira must keep you around for your infinite wisdom." Moore says with a grin. "I have a few ideas on where to look. I will keep you all in the loop."

[Anastasia]

Donald nods and goes off, which leaves you with a question: Now what?

[Nephrite]

He can't invoke his new spell until the next day anyway... so for now it's time to sleep.

[Anastasia]

Then a moment later Donald comes back in. "Oh, sorry, I forgot," he says, "Seira wanted to invite you to come over to the Cauldron."

Whoops, forgot to include that. My mistake.

[Nephrite]

"Like... now?" Moore asks. "Or in general?"

[Anastasia]

"Whenever you can," Donald says, "I think her exact words were earliest convenience."

[Nephrite]

"Then please let her know I will come tomorrow. I will see if I can shed light on the current matter." Moore says. "Thanks for playing messenger."

[Anastasia]

Okay then, quick check. Which of the two tasks are you doing first tomorrow? Need to know so I can set up and organize.

[Nephrite]

He will use his knowledge spell for answers on the lore first. Assuming he has questions left he will try and suss out the orb.

[Anastasia]

Okay sure, give me your roll there and assuming no disaster, get to the questions.
