Dragon quickstep

[Corwin]

Insubordination!

If someone were hypothetically intending to storm Imix's divine realm and get him absolutely furious enough to show up, what would work best to trigger that sort of behavior in Imix?

[Anastasia]

An insult he couldn't ignore, one so great it infuriates him. He rages hot when he rages.

[Corwin]

I thought of a few things that would be considered insults by him, but nothing so great it would be a sure thing. Do you have a suggestion?

[Anastasia]

I used that on him once, but I fear it would not work again. My own presence when done properly, that is.

He is wroth with the outcome of your last battle, but I do not think your appearance alone would suffice.

[Corwin]

How about something in his realm I could target that would strike hard at his vanity? Some sort of hall proudly displaying mementos of vanquished enemies, a grand statue of some great victory?

Like the time Imix killed Zaaman Rul's mother, she supposes but doesn't say. Striking at such places would be a direct attack on Imix's pride.

[Anastasia]

That could suffice if done properly. He has a private hall for exactly that matter, but it's well defended.

[Corwin]

Unless you have a better idea, then, could you provide me directions to it? And, perhaps, an easier way to reach it?

[Anastasia]

It is known as the Rr'cracum. Translated, it translates to the Gallery of Triumphs. It lies in Imix's temple, though it is an outer wing. It's sealed against every form of travel you could imagine and a few that you can't. The only way in is to walk in.

However.

I know the fire giant who built it. He serves Kossuth but was hired to build it. If there's any shortcuts, he'd know. His name is Pashatuh. He is skilled but relatively little known outside of Fire, as he only takes projects rarely. He's currently a resident of Ysgard and resides near a lava flow there, tending to some matter of Kossuth's I'm fully clear on.

[Corwin]

Thanks! I'll keep you posted, Seira tells Zaaman Rul, and then fills Donald in on all this.

"Let's take a small detour to Ysgard?" she offers to him. "The two of us and Ranbar, to let her spread her wings a bit."

[Anastasia]

Sounds good. Prep?

It's not hard to dig up Ranbar. "Seira," she greets warmly, "Ysgard this time?"

"Yeah," Donald readies his armor, "Hopefully get a good fight out of it while we're there."

[Corwin]

"I'm hopeful you'll have a chance to run wild out there, Ranbar~"

[Anastasia]

"I will. Where in Ysgard?" Ranbar asks as you all prepare.

Feel free to open the portal anytime, it's just pre trip banter.

[Corwin]

"Good question!" Seira responds, turning to her dominion over Fire and War as she examines where the former is most active in the realm of the latter.
