The first peaceful day

[Nephrite]

"It's not fair to throw my weight around unnecessarily." Moore says with a smile. "But it seemed I entered another forbidden area. I popped out of a fountain at the fountain of youth up the way earlier." A huff after that. "Would you please tell me what this place is? I was going to take some crystals back, but if they're sacred or otherwise protected, I will leave them here."

[Anastasia]

"Take some - they're mine and I give them to anyone who asks," The hound archon explains, "This is part of the waterways of Celestia, where water flows up or down mountain. In other parts you'll find Moradin's dwarves, but this section is not favored by them."

[Nephrite]

"I appreciate your generosity. Do you by any chance know if the Eternal Well is connected to the water here in any capacity?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

A snap of his claw, "It connects somewhere. I know which passage below to take, and I think you have to go through the Filters so keep an eye open for them."

[Nephrite]

"Filters?" Moore ask. "Is that more literal than it sounds?"

[Anastasia]

"It's a series of magical barriers that purify the waters here," The hound archon explains. "Each one feels like your teeth ratting and moving in your mouth."

[Nephrite]

"I haven't run into those yet, as far as I can tell." Moore says. "So it's below here? I don't need to go back up to the gold part?"

[Anastasia]

"Gold part? No," A headshake, "But molten gold breaks out into many places here," he says, "Keep your eyes open."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "There's a part that coalesces under a gold vein of some nature up about half an hour from here." He says. "Can you point me in the right direction from here, please?"

He will now take the dozen or so crystals. : )

[Anastasia]

Sure, post that you are in loot.

"Oh, those are good for making armor," The hound archon speaks up, "Especially with celestial gold and adamantine support underneath."

[Nephrite]

"I know a healer who I was hoping to help craft something for, like a ring or a necklace with these. Do you think that would be possible?" He asks.

[Anastasia]

"Maybe. I know about the armor because the dwarves I met one time told me," he admits, a little, low pitched whine.

[Nephrite]

"I'll let you know the next time I come by." Moore says. "Thank you for your generosity."

He offers him a bow -- and then will go in whichever way he is directed, back into the water!

[Anastasia]

It's a narrow little passage just below the water level, filled with water that gets colder as you go. As you do...

Perception.
