Glorious Home

[Anastasia]

Easy enough. The bear lurches to where you are and sniffs and sniffs, roaring and pacing around, constantly sniffing the air.

[Nephrite]

Honestly...

Moore shakes his head and will simply fly back along, invisible this time. He'll do his best to be quiet!

Take 10 for ... 32 on Stealth. He's apparently not trying -that- hard.

[Anastasia]

Bears happen sometimes, y'know?

Easy enough. You return to the cleft as you remember it, nothing different there, either.

[Nephrite]

Now, was it this one that needed the princess, or...

Take 10 on Spellcraft for 73 on the magic there, I forget if there was a barrier here or if it was further in.

[Anastasia]

There no is barrier immediately nearby, nor any magic whatsoever.

[Nephrite]

Do you mean 'no barrier,'?

Moore will head inside and to the actual barrier he remembers, then!

[Anastasia]

You are correct, typos suck.

You go in and find the wall of shimmering purple has returned, glowing and blocking your way ahead.

[Nephrite]

Well, he also knows that the lich that lives here is perfectly aware of whatever goes on in this part of his home.

"Hello again." Moore calls out, holding up the rolled up parchment. "It's been a while, but I brought you back what I promised -- the anatomical chart. I'd like to see if you're still willing to trade in information for it."

[Anastasia]

The field promptly fades away, vanishing in moments.

[Nephrite]

Well, that seems like an invitation if he's ever seen one. He flies forward!

He's going to be Spellcraftin' for 73 along the way just to make sure he doesn't run afoul of anything. That and since this is an impressive place, after all.

[Anastasia]

The same carpeted path ahead, the same golem of brick emerges out.

"You have the chart?" The voice is raspy like you remember.

Be aware!

[Nephrite]

Yes, he remembers that from where this all started -- be aware of the cost. Beware the cost? Something like that. If this is some elaborate trap, though... it's a really long-time coming.

"I do." Moore says as he shakes the parchment once. He'll leave it at that for now.

[Anastasia]

"Then here," A scroll with a wax seal appears in the golem's hand. "The trade will be done."

[Nephrite]

Moore will put the chart in the golem's other hand and attempt to take the wax sealed scroll!

"I hope you find what you're looking for out here." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

The golem merely sinks back into the wall, scroll and all at that.

Next move?
