Crossed swords

[Corwin]

Seira cheerfully tries to drag it to the surface as well with telekinesis.

[Anastasia]

That's easy enough for Seira. It's a purple-green shell, coating and covering something thickly. You can't tell what from the outside.

[Nephrite]

Question 3: 'Where is the largest collection of them?'

Question 4: 'How many unique minerals are there?' (To be clear as to the meaning of this, it means 'how many different types, not 'how many rocks')

Question 5: 'How many actual deposits are there?' (this is the other part of the last question)

Presuming I get a decent answer here, Questions 6-16 will be 'How to find some of the deposits listed above' basically.

Once he has a list of locations he will end the spell.

[Corwin]

Seira does her best to clean it up, examining it magically.

Does Scent or Tremorsense reveal anything? Blindsight? Greater Arcane Sight and Legend Lore?

[Anastasia]

Whatever it is, the shell is completely absorbing magic and energy sent its way.

Which really is the tip off. Whatever this is has power to negate magic, and as near as you can tell, this shell has grown around it in response. A protection? An accident? Either way it is what it is.

Meanwhile for Moore?

3. On the far end from your location.
4. 3.
5. 5.

[Corwin]

"Ooh, this might be it! Elle, Jetina, could you take a glance? I'll keep on diving for now."

[Anastasia]

"I will," Elle promises, "Moore, you have the locations?"

Just to be clear you do, I forgot to include those but it's mostly a handwave of 'yes' as long as you don't run into trouble.

[Corwin]

Excellent! After I complete my sweep and get all we think is there, let's take stock.

[Nephrite]

With the locations, Moore nods to Elle. "Yes, there's a large deposit on the far end from where we are - there are a total of three different types of minerals here, and there are about five locations we can find them. I have all of them, so we can find them easily enough, though we may need Seira's acid-proof abilities to get to them."

[Anastasia]

You end up with nine in total. 2 green crystals, 2 orange-green crystals and 2 red-green crystals. Each is quite large, bigger than Hanna, chunky things.

[Corwin]

"Let's go back for now?" Seira offers. "I'm pretty sure Wildaros's in this shell, and it seems that we've found all the crystals that grew here in usable amounts."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Certainly."

[Anastasia]

Give me a d100, one of you.

[Corwin]

22:23 <Corwin> roll 1d100
22:23 <Penuche> Corwin invokes Penuche's magic: < 87 > [d100=87]

[Anastasia]

The trip out is no great thing now that you know the way. If anything things seem to calm as you emerge out once more and return.

Go ahead.
