Elemental Movements

[Anastasia]

Go ahead and tell me how long you're willing to invest looking for information on it. After that, make a second post with an K:A roll.

[Nephrite]

He'll go until he finds some solid leads.

Take 10 for 105 with 15 GI points.

[Anastasia]

You spend some time in the library, several hours passing. You don't come any closer to finding anything offhand, just a single offhanded mention. From the context and the age of the text, the phrase millions of years old is conservative.

[Nephrite]

"I wonder if divinations are the way to go after all." Moore says with a chuckle.

[Anastasia]

Xandra looks up, "It is an investment of time," she concurs.

'Moore,' Cresiel sends, 'I have received an update on the efforts against the efreet. It is available when you return.'

[Nephrite]

'I will return shortly.' Moore sends back.

Since he's already in a good place, he may as well try it!

He is casting Divination, per the spell. I'll deduct the 25 gold as needed.

The question is 'How can we find Temman's Wheel?'

His chance for this to be successful is 90%.

[Anastasia]

Post the expense in loot.

"In places four, yet the soul of it is no more."

[Nephrite]

Done.

Moore murmurs the reply. "In places four, yet the soul of it is no more." He murmurs it again to himself, as if tasting the answer. "...The elements, maybe...?"

[Anastasia]

"Cryptic," Xandra remarks slowly, "A mystery disguised by a riddle. Maybe the elements, maybe other things. Perhaps more magic is in order."

[Nephrite]

Moore clicks his tongue. "Are we allowed to do that? Well, I suppose it's worth a try."

Another Divination, this time:

'How can we find the answer to 'in places four, yet the soul of it is no more'?

[Anastasia]

"Understand that the soul of it is no more, thus leading you to places four."

[Nephrite]

"Oh that's just being cheeky." Moore says. He huffs once.

"Ahem. 'Understand that the soul of it is no more, thus leading you to places four.' I feel like I got conned out of an answer!" Moore says as he throws his hands up.

[Anastasia]

Xandra's hand goes to her mouth, expression unseen. "Not quite," she says. "Because the soul of it is no more, that means it must direct us to the four places it is. Still, it is helpful if not illuminating."

[Nephrite]

"I think you were right about there being some books in our future. I'm going to go on the chance that it has something to do with the four elemental planes... maybe something somehow dies and has to proceed there?" He drums his fingers on a nearby table.

"Let me spend some time looking since we're here." Moore says.

His intent will be to look through books (remembering he has BA) on elementals, the elemental planes and that sort of thing to see if he can find anything on souls departing and leading to the four planes, or... something like that.

Let's say two hours or so.

[Anastasia]

Give me K:P or K:R, whichever is higher.
