Labalyn's memorial

[Anastasia]

You take the key.

Your hand slips away from it, unable to grasp it.

[Nephrite]

"Hm..." Moore ponders this for a moment.

Is it like the other time, where he can't grab it himself and... oh.

He will try to reach in with the dagger to see it he can nudge the key towards himself that way!

[Anastasia]

The key is nudged towards you easily enough.

[Nephrite]

Moore will put his hand into the hole and see if he can nudge the key up and onto his hand that way, then grasp the key without trouble!

[Nephrite]

Minor correction but I'm good with this.

[Anastasia]

You nudge the key towards you, but you still can't grasp it.

[Nephrite]

"Is this the literal definition of my not being able to grasp the figurative key?" Moore asks aloud, not that he's expecting an answer.

Well, perhaps just getting the key out for now will work.

He will just use the dagger to nudge the key out of the hole for now and see what happens.

[Anastasia]

The key is nudged out of the hole. It falls to the ground and lies there, an old key on the plain ground.

[Nephrite]

Moore will fly down and see if it's any easier to grasp this time - assuming it isn't, he will take the dagger and see if he can lift it off the ground and balance it on the knife.

[Anastasia]

You still can't hold the key, but the dagger is able to pick it up and you're able to balance it on the knife.

[Nephrite]

"So is the 'key' here my understanding of something?" He asks himself, as he looks around for anything that may be different.

The other time was the need for atonement, the other was a need for rest...

Maybe this one is a 'need to grasp an understanding'?

Hm, it's worth a shot.

[13:19] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+36
[13:19] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+36 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{48} CL check.

Alter reality for a higher level version of 'Comprehend Languages' that can also be cast on other things. If possible with the level boost (4 it looks like) he'd want to add 'non verbal communication' to it.

[Anastasia]

You look up and see that there is a rusty iron door nearby now, one that awaits you silently.

[Nephrite]

Moore will carefully approach with the key on the dagger and see if there's an actual keyhole to use it in.

[Anastasia]

There is a keyhole, sure enough.

[Nephrite]

Maybe now he can grasp the key?

He will try, at least, to put the key into the keyhole - a normally rather easy task!
