The second seal (Moore)

[Anastasia]

"Unfortunately not. Aurora can capture one and use it to make one." The voice says, "Leave now and return when you have the chart."

Dana just glares at him, "Fine, be that way. But fuck you for giving us a quest."

[Nephrite]

"It seems to be the way of this particular world. I mean, we could barge in there and probably ruin the entire laboratory, but I'm not sure that would provide us with anything useful." Moore says with a bit of a shrug.

He turns and will head back the way they came until they're outside the cave, at which point he turns and looks at the other two.

"I'm not going to ask the two of you to go hunting for a pit fiend with me. This is something that can wait until an opportunity presents itself. I'm very sorry this has more or less been a waste of time for the two of you, that certainly wasn't my intention." Moore sighs again and bows a bit to both of them. "I'll make it up to you both somehow."

[Anastasia]

Dana shakes her head, "Why the fuck do we need to find one? Hello, Yian? Willah?" She slams a fist into her palm, "We have this covered already."

[Nephrite]

"Huh." He blinks, then nods. "I didn't even think about that. You're absolutely right. I suppose someone could argue fate's smiling on us."

He shakes his head afterwards, as if to clear it before he gets too lost in thought. "Well, in that case, once we're... er... done with them, as it were, I suppose..." He makes a face at that. "We'll have what we need. Still, I'm sorry I've basically dragged you all out onto what amounts to 'Do a bunch of stuff for other people, the adventure' so far. Is there anything you two want to do here before we go back?"

[Anastasia]

"New primes are always interesting," Balyss remarks, "So many different variations, it's like an adventure each time."

Dana shrugs her shoulders, "What fucking ever. At least I wasn't so bored I started riding my fucking rapier."

[Nephrite]

"I'd like to come back here and at least collect information on their spells, if nothing else. I think they're a bit more advanced at that than we are since it isn't really a specific focus." Moore says. "Well, out of courtesy to the two of you, if you find anything that you'd like my help with, I'll do it without any questions asked, and yes, I'm well aware of how dangerous that is saying it in front of Dana." Moore says with a grin.

[Anastasia]

Balyss interjects by clearing her throat, "Not right now, but probably soon. Within a week if not less."

Going back now?

[Nephrite]

Yar.

[Anastasia]

You return. "Well, we're back sooner than I expected," Balyss says, "I think I'm going to go take a soak before getting back to things, since I cleared out most of the day."

Dana walks along, "Unless you have a move right away?" she asks you.

Ball's in your court, what's next?

[Nephrite]

"Actually, I'm working on something that might make up for how boring all of this has been." Moore explains. "You see, there's a patron on Brightwater who I think I can convince to help Aurora out, but we have to right a wrong done to one of their citizens. Well, long story short, the citizen Moonlight and I found had a brother who was betrayed by Alurae, who is one of Malcanthet's seductresses. She's mortal, but is apparently trying -really- hard to not be by basically doing as much evil as she can." He turns his nose up at this, as if a stench just washed over him.

"To make a long story short, Tannin tracked her down to a place called Farrdale. We apparently need some sort of key to get in, but once we're in it's apparently a death slaad's home. I had intended to go there and deal with this Alurae person and anyone else who decided they wanted to pick a fight with Aurora while we were there. If you two were interested, I can all but assure you it'll be less boring once we get there. The problem is I'm not sure where to start when it comes to a key to the place... maybe Canderella?" He asks aloud.

[Anastasia]

"Sounds great," Dana says right away.

"Hmmm," Balyss asks, "What skill set do you need to get in? Is it a physical key or more metaphorical?"

[Nephrite]

"He said it's a magical token. I'd guess it's something that effectively unlocks a door to let you in." Moore says. "He basically just referred me to the generals though, I'm not really sure why any of them would know anything about this, though..."

[Anastasia]

"It might be possible to beat or overpower," Balyss says, "Why don't you go ask them and get back to me in an hour?"

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. In that case, then...

"Elena, can you tell me if Canderella is around and not still chatting it up with Gold?" Moore calls out. He'll start there and then try others afterwards.

[Anastasia]

Elena appears, "No, she's off with Calleigh now. Surraruthru was looking for her too, so you might need to get in line." She's dressed up like you today, a rather good recreation of your typical outfit.
