Dragon quickstep

[Anastasia]

'Imix. A...about a possible child of the Archomental.'

[Corwin]

Another one aside from Zaaman Rul?

[Anastasia]

'I...do not know who Zaaman Rul is.' Is the answer at last. 'Imix has no surviving children that I know of.'

[Corwin]

Wow. Stuff like that happens, yes, but you'd usually expect temporal magic to be involved.

Imix's child was supposed to be with whom? she inquires, moving the statues pinning the Inevitable aside carefully to avoid damaging it.

[Anastasia]

'Bris...something Pel? I am damaged.' Is the answer, as a silent apology. The inevitable is battered and broken - most of it's body is in pieces and it's badly dented and gouged all over. It barely moves when you  begin to free it. 'I cannot talk and any sound is difficult due to damage.'

[Corwin]

Talking right now is bad anyway, we're trying to be quiet, Seira responds, studying what remains of the body.

Craft/Metalworks 10 for 120. Can I put some of it together so he is mobile, at the very least?

[Anastasia]

Yes, with some magic to reattach parts. A splash of divine will to cover that and it should be entirely within your power. You could do it without that, but it would take longer to work out.

[Corwin]

That's what Seira does, before offering the Inevitable a hand. Marchos 231, want to come with us? If you keep quiet and walk lightly, you'll get something even better to report once you get back.

[Anastasia]

'It will be as you say,' The inevitable agrees as it rises. A unique one, at least not one of the normal types anyway. Tall and golden, but with strength and mass. 'I will be silent.'

[Corwin]

Seira glances about the room, as it should be getting pretty cleared by now. If there are any hidden doors or other points of interest, she intends to cover them before continuing her exploration of this floor.

[Anastasia]

Perception real quick, matters here.

[Corwin]

10 for 120!

[Anastasia]

No sign of runes in this room.

However, there's a gigantic sack that was covered by statues. About as large as several Hannas, a massive thing far larger than you. It's made of rough cloth and patched several times, but intact.

Several large clay pots full of copper coins are also here, uncovered.

In one corner you can see several small stacks of gold bars. Perhaps 30 or so in total. Besides them lies a skeleton, long forgotten. Those bars all radiate strong necromancy - cursed. Anyone who touches them has a great deal of their life force drained. Weaker creatures would die instantly from this drain.

With the statues gone, you can find a door further east as well as a trap door down.

[Corwin]

Seira exorcizes the curse, since she'd had practice in that fairly recently. The trap door looks interesting, but she decides to examine the sack out of curiosity.

[Anastasia]

So I know, what power/spell are you using for that curse?
