Elemental Movements

"I would hope fey would do better," Cresiel agrees, rather solemnly.

Jetina follows with you, "Well, maybe he's making up for it by learning strategy? But you can't replace natural talent, can you?"

[Nephrite]

"Ah, so you think this is more akin to a student taking a test?" Moore asks. "That would certainly explain the rather sub-standard level of challenge we've encountered."

[Anastasia]

"A failing student," Kaja flashes his teeth, all sharpness and whiteness. "In over his head and he knows it."

Meanwhile you reach the stairs going down.

[Nephrite]

"It certainly seems that way. Perhaps it will give his fellow classmates reason to abandon their current path." Moore says. Onward and downward, with an eye for more traps!

[Anastasia]

Perception again, -10 circumstance penalty.

[Nephrite]

Why, that would be 74 then!

[Anastasia]

As you go down, you notice one stair is slightly elevated.

[Nephrite]

"Avoid that stair there." Moore advises everyone. "Fly or jump if you need to."

[Anastasia]

Done.

The door leading on opens, revealing a library. Amid all the books and well lit tables, a voice narrates in Ignan, "Knowledge makes the flames of power burn brighter."

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 74 on Spellcraft! Anything magical in this library?

[Anastasia]

The library is enchanted with various spells to protect the books, as well as a spell to say what was just heard every time a new person enters.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods and continues on!

"We'll come back later if we have time to see about taking these with us." Moore says. "No sense in spending the time now."

[Anastasia]

"Excuse me, I disagree," A smooth, cultured voice says. The efreet that comes out wears simple robes and a turban, walking with a fine silvery cane. "I see miscreants have found their way into the library." His gaze is sharp on all of you, taking you in.

[Nephrite]

Moore turns his attention as well.

"I'm afraid we don't really have a lot of time to deal with the rules of your library." Moore says with an apologetic shrug. "I'd suggest you not try and impede us."

[Anastasia]

The efreet merely taps his cane on the floor, a sharp noise. "I insist."

Kaja smiles, "You're an efreet, so you don't need to ask to die more than once." Raising his blades, "Your request is granted."

"You think you can stop all of us by yourself? Are you suicidal?" Jetina frowns, "Or controlled or desperate?"
