Destiny now lies in the hands of...

[Anastasia]

Good, hopefully we can get council from them to direct us to the Guardian.

Antenora merely nods but does not stop.

Down below are free floating glaciers in a huge cavern, dozens of them riddled with holes. In them Children of Jormugandr can be seen, nests and lairs glimpsed. You're getting looks already as one calls, "Visitors!" While another calls, "Intruders!"

[Ebiris]

What happened to being stealthy?

Well it was a doomed dream anyway. Still, there's a lot of them - have they wandered out of the forbidden area towards a more commonly populated part of this realm? "We have permission. We're hunting an imposter that looks like your parent!" she calls back before they can get too riled up, emerging from the water.

[Anastasia]

Gimme diplo, -10 circumstance.

[Anastasia]

The snakes all look to you as you call out, no immediate attack.

[Ebiris]

Now what?

"So we're going to keep looking, unless any of you have any suggestions about where the fake Jormungandr might be."

[Anastasia]

One advances - a big one with golden highlights on its scales. "That's the one you seek?" It speaks up.

[Ebiris]

"Yes. It always hides from Jormungandr but moves around somewhere near here," Alicia says. "Do you know of it?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Is the answer, "Go south, it has been there lately." It nudges its head downward, "Down and south, follow the waters to the source."

[Ebiris]

"Thank you for your assistance, you have the gratitude of Sylica," Alicia nods her head respectfully to the giant serpent before turning to go back underwater in that direction.

[Anastasia]

'They were unusually helpful,' Antenora notes as you go down. 'Perhaps these are the more settled of Jormungandr's children?'

[Ebiris]

Yes I think the fearsome wildness of the children in this area is perhaps overstated.

[Anastasia]

Or we got lucky. Either way, onward.

[Ebiris]

Onward!
