Ahead lies the great light that...

"Not something we can reproduce," Jetina considers, "So we can't do that."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I wonder if we need a native...? Honestly, I think it can hear us. I think we just need to convince it somehow that we're worthy."

[Anastasia]

"That's the question: Now what, then? Perhaps consult with one of the House of the Triad?" Cresiel suggests. "They have great influence in Arcadia - of course you'd have to be properly circumspect."

[Nephrite]

"Much like the Arch Angels of Elysium, I have my doubts that something like that was hidden here without them knowing..." Moore says. "But, I think if we simply say we're on a..."

He turns and looks randomly out into the forest.

Moore kneels down and touches the ground.

"Peace, Arcadia. We are here at the behest of the light of Chronias. We seek what is hidden beyond your borders to help save not only you, but all of Creation. Please, I know we aren't natives, but I implore you, open the way."

He's trying to evoke some of what Zaphkiel does here,

[22:48] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 65 > [d20=13]

[Anastasia]

Perception check.

[Nephrite]

Take 10 for 96.

[Anastasia]

You...

It's not a connection, not like Lifasa. But you have a faint sensation of feeling...something? Maybe?

[Nephrite]

At least he has its attention... or whatever it's called.

"We seek what lies beyond your limits. We seek the Guardian. I know how to go beyond the limits of Creation, but that isn't where we need to go. I need your help to go there, so I ask humbly that you give us your aid."

The Words are easier for him now, and good thing, too, considering what he's probably invoking.

[Anastasia]

There's no reply, at least as you can sense it.

[Nephrite]

"I am going to open the way to a place I know that I think is close. I ask that you help put it where it needs to be."

He takes a breath in and out and tries to Will a portal, but not necessarily open it. He is simply trying to pull a bit on Arcadia for strength in order to open a portal, much like he would if he were creating one to the place between Creation and Beyond.

Doing two checks, in case it requires a second for the portal.

If it isn't clear what he's trying, he's basically trying to Will a portal into existence with Arcadia's help to where they need to go.

[Anastasia]

Con check.

On the upside, it's not really pain nor does he pass out. Moore is more than he was before, and knows every moment from where he's staggered back. It's still highly unpleasant, like trying to swallow a lightning bolt.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes in a breath and tries again.

"Show me the way, Arcadia. Please."

Hm?

There's two words on the ground beneath you, as if carved in by a large finger.

'Labalyn's Memorial.'
