Deep into the Infinite Stair

[Anastasia]

Valnala gives you her hand as requested.

[Ebiris]

Alicia's aura is felt again, more potent as a silvery light coalesces around her palm and flows into Valnala.

Using a deific gift to give Valnala a +3 untyped bonus to knowledge (arcana) and spellcraft checks, presuming that's allowable.

[Anastasia]

I don't mind that in this case, no. I'd probably adjudicate sa giving her two skill focuses - she's high enough level that two small feats isn't entirely unreasonable - but whichever.

Your power flares and manifests within Valnala, who emits a soft, slight gasp. "Oh!"

[Ebiris]

Oh yes, that would work. Actually make it +2 then so it's equivalent to the other feats that give +2 to two skills.

Alicia lets go of Valnala's hand and sees what the last question Bredanalundalum's Wit has for her is.

[Anastasia]

The question is thus: Are you satisfied now, Valnala?

[Ebiris]

Well that's the last one, she supposes if they get the lillend flight ability in the stairs they can try for a bit and see if they get lucky.

"Are you satisfied now, Valnala?"

5/5 questions used up.

[Anastasia]

"I am honored," Valnala bows her head to both of you, "Allow me to retrieve what you need."

[Ebiris]

"Thank you," Alicia says, stepping back to wait for Valnala now. Hopefully that scroll was well spent, but better to use it productively than to simply hoard it for a day that never comes.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough Valnala returns with a figurine of a falcon in flight, "This will let you and those close to you travel safely," she offers, "Keep it on you."

[Ebiris]

Alicia accepts it. "It won't wear off so long as I carry this?" she asks to check on the temporary nature of bestowing their gift.

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Is the answer, "Return it when you're finished, but it will serve you as long as you have it."

[Ebiris]

"Hopefully it won't take an elf's lifetime," Alicia says with a slight smile, returning to her disguised form. "We'll make sure we aren't seen using it, I don't imagine any lillend would want to field questions from other stair-goers as to how we're managing."

[Anastasia]

"That would be wisest," Valnala agrees, "May I ask if you believe there truly is a bottom to the stairs?"

[Ebiris]

"Honestly I'm not sure - because if there's a bottom logically there's a top as well," Alicia says. "But I have enough to go on that I'm prepared to search. Hopefully," she lifts up the stone falcon, "I'll have a story to go with it when I return this to you."

[Anastasia]

"May it serve you well," Is the answer you get.

Jessica smiles and adjusts before, "Come on, girlie," she says, "Got places to explore."
