Glorious Home

[Nephrite]

"That keeps happening..." Moore murmurs to himself. "It never happened on Aurora... at least, not like this. I wonder, did something else happen after Lifasa, or..." He glances up towards the top of the mountain.

[Anastasia]

Wis check.

[Anastasia]

You feel peace overtake you, peace and reflective serenity. You spend some time looking up at Chronias, lost in it. Yet no immediate answer comes to your question.

[Nephrite]

"...It's impossible for it to be a coincidence, but you won't tell me until I figure it out on my own, will you?" He asks no one in particular.

He turns back to Xandra. "Well, I'm glad whatever the force is, it's helping us get stronger."

[Anastasia]

"We're involved in heady things now," Xandra replies, "The light of Chronias will show us the way ahead."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "We'll forge ahead one way or another. I'm going to go on a short sojourn to finish up some business, I should be back shortly."

[Anastasia]

"Good fortune ahead," Xandra bids to you.

[Nephrite]

"I... really hope so." Moore says with a smile as he heads off.

He'll throw up a Foresight, Surge of Fortune and Greater Improvisation before he goes.

[Anastasia]

The air here is still chilly as you stand here, alone. The forest is as you remember it, nothing having changed right off.

[Nephrite]

Well, at least no one's going to suddenly appear in front of him.

He heads back the way to the secret location!

You walk to the cave - and as you flutter there, anyway, not walking? You hear a thrashing behind you, something loud and perhaps big.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns invisible and turns to look at what may be causing the noise!

[Anastasia]

...crap. Bear. Giant bear! A big, spiky, spined, bony bear. A dire bear! You know what this sort of thing is as it roars defiantly at you - it looks HUNGRY. You maaay have a problem here.

[Nephrite]

Moore tilts his head. A dire bear that can see through invisibility? Isn't that a little unusual?

Well, this is a suspiciously magical prime, isn't it...? Oh well.

Even if it can see him, it certainly can't fly, so... up he goes!

He's just going to fly straight up, presuming that the bear can somehow see through his invisibility, which it seems to be able to do for whatever reason.
