Io's Labyrinth

Once all that is done, Moore's papers are taken, "Three spells," he ruminates. "A return is fair." Before Moore a single scroll appears. "For I already know Humble Words."

[Nephrite]

"Thank you." Moore says. "For everything."

He will look at the scroll!

[Anastasia]

It is a scroll of Thunderous Voice.

Map update.

That being said, Thunderous Voice is in the spell collection.

"Farewell, Galaurskax," Alicia nods to the dragon-deity since no one else has any trades. She leads them back and off to the North and around that unexplored bend Eastwards.

[Anastasia]

The passage turns east, the hall going on a way to a door. Before the door is a man of steel, carved beautifully and lifelike, with half dragon features and wings. It watches you, eyes moving as you approach. It is clad in plate armor but with no helmet.

"Visitors," it asks in a smooth, well oiled voice, "Welcome. I am Chardonax, son of Scandamalonax. I welcome you to my mother's lair."

[Ebiris]

"Greetings Chardonax, I am Alicia," she introduces herself. "Is your father also present in this gauntlet?"

[Corwin]

So it seems there is plenty of recreation in these parts for those interested!

"Hello," Seira greets him. "Is it just the two of you here?"

[Anastasia]

"I have no father, I'm afraid. I was created with steel and magic," Chardonax replies, bowing to the party. "In this little section, yes."

Oberuth nods to him and then adds, "A warrior by birth or by practice?"

"By birth, by birth," The construct declares, tapping his breastplate, "My skills were informed by my mother's choice of how she shaped me. Though I enjoy martial combat, so it all worked out well."

[Ebiris]

"It's important to enjoy what you do," Alicia agrees. She's better than to make the obvious crack about draconic procreation and its ability to go beyond common sense. "Can you tell us aught about your mother before we meet her?"

[Anastasia]

"She's the best sapphire dragon there is," Chardonax says, "Be respectful!"

[Corwin]

"Sapphire is a lovely color!" Seira compliments.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods!

[Anastasia]

"It's the best," The construct agrees, "Mom doesn't like strangers in her territory, but she'll make an exception for you. But she also really likes talking about strategy and warfare. Maybe you can play one of her wargames with her."

[Corwin]

"That sounds lovely," Seira agrees.

[Ebiris]

"I enjoy such things too," Alicia agrees. "May we enter to see her, then?" she asks in case he has any challenges first.
