Now where am I?! (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Mind blank's still up, just FYI. It's not impossible for epic magic to beat, so that may be the root of it.

The memories are fragmented and fading as you rise, but bits and pieces remain. Little glimmering shards of light in your mind's eye, images and words floating on the surface of your mind.

You sit up and find yourself back on Mineral. Ilsenine is lying there as well, groaning.

[Nephrite]

Wait... it's still... .... how strong was --

Ugh.

Moore blinks a few times and sits himself up as he tries to focus on the shards of the memory that are still there -- is that his 'reward'?

[Anastasia]

Int check.

[Nephrite]

[23:01] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+11
[23:01] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 14 > [d20=3]

[Anastasia]

Fragments. Names, memories. Things you've forgotten and...and...at the end. At the end, talking to someone about it all. About the reason, the point, why. It's within an arm's reach and yet you can't remember.

[Nephrite]

Someone... ...was it Erathaol?

No, it couldn't have been.

He must've... ...talked to them to get sent... back.

Back? ...

He shakes his head a few more times. It'll come back to him in time.

He flies over to Ilsenine to check on her. "Are you all right, Ilsenine?"

[Anastasia]

Queen Ilsenine sits up, "I'm well enough," She says, "We escaped? What happened?"

[Nephrite]

"Did you hear anything ... or see anything before we left that strange area with the purple crystals?" Moore asks. "I... have a theory myself of what happened, but I would like to hear your account."

[Anastasia]

"There was a flash of light then I was here," Ilsenine says, "Nothing more."

[Nephrite]

"I think they tried to find something in my memories." Moore explains. "I felt a huge rush of memories -- ones I've forgotten again, mind you, from the ocean of light. I think the slaad tried to pry open a box that he shouldn't have and... whatever it was overcame them." He takes a deep breath.

"Would you care to try and visit Lord Crystalle once again? Hopefully without any mishaps this time."

[Anastasia]

"After we return," Ilsenine says, "We have treasure to take and it is best to find out that nothing has gone wrong from our extended sojourn."

[Nephrite]

"At your command." Moore offers a flourishing bow before he will Gate them both back to Aurora!

[Anastasia]

Okay, ready to move onto loot?

[Nephrite]

Yar. I don't know if there was anything they hadn't identified but if there was we'll get it properly taken care of. Who knows, maybe we had an extra item or two put in our bags!

[Anastasia]

Moore loot post is up. Go sort that out.
