Ivar, not removing any of the items that he finds, asks Klorak
what is the traveler?
Klrorak answers Ivar: Splendid question, Ulfen. You look like a sailor. List the planets for me. There is Aballon, Castrovel, Golarion...
Ivar looks at the bird even more curious
go on
Klorak rolls his eyes at Ivars. Do none of you know? He smiles at Tusara as she eyes the box.
Albrecht looks up at Ivar just a tiny bit mischievously.
{b]I sink he means for you to list zem big guy.[/b] Looking back at Klorak
No vee can't blame you for protecting your pursuits just like zee others can't be blamed for protecting zemselves from crazy wizards. But zat is behind us now and you say you vill accept allies. So all is good zen.
Albrecht holds out his hand before he remembers about the bindings. Heh, sorry. Then he looks back and forth between him and Ivar listening to the explanation about planets.
Ivar racks his brain for a moment, then asking more than telling
'the red', then 'the line', then I think 'the diaspora', 'the wanderer' and 'the dreamer'; I was taught them in skald a long time ago, what's your point bird?
"Let's be reasonable here. I'm as annoyed at you that our devotions were interrupted, Merelinda, and I think Klorak needs to make it up to us in some way. On the other hand, he was here first and does have a certain degree of primacy. I think working together to gain knowledge would help us all." He takes the tengu's hand and says, "I am prepared to swear by Nethys that we will work with you to find what is in this tomb, and share it with you fairly."
"I can't think of one called the Traveler, but Triaxis is known as the Wanderer -- is that the one you mean? Your astrological traditions may differ from those I was taught. The seventh -- or sixth depending on how one counts Eox -- from the Sun."
As the crow continues to squawk, Merelinda smirks, an auburn eyebrow arching. "And I am a pissed off woman, but not so pissed as to reject allies, should any allies present a reasonable bargain. I have yet to hear your bargain, bird. Can you tell us of these traps? Tell us of what you hope to find down there? Spare the astronomy lesson, speak plainly!"
At Bayani's words, she relaxes a touch, nodding to him. "Perhaps he has a better claim...but chose instead to attack us without explanation. We owe him nothing. Let us hear what he has to say before we release him." She stands close by, arms folded, waiting.
Ivar, becoming board; pulls the chest over by the tengu's head and sitting down, his axe balanced on his lap, waits for the conversation to be over.
Klorak answers: It goes: Sun, Aballon, Castrovel, Golarion, Akiton. There are afew other celestial bodies after that. And then the big ones. I believe this "traveler" was from Akiton - it is said he had six arms! Exhuming the body will verify that... And I believe you can still get there from whatever portal or device he used centuries ago - in the tomb! Power from alien artifacts such as these is bound to last, don't you agree?
more curious about the tomb than the entombed Ivar draws out the tengu's dagger and cutting him loose, then returning the dagger, he asks
so how do we get in the tomb, and how do we get past the traps to get to the treasures?
Once the bird is standing Ivar reaches out his hand to shake and says
I'm Ivar, you know our guide Zamoozi
The priestess glares at Ivar as he releases the tengu-thing. She makes no move to give the bird-man back his spell components, going so far as to tie them around her own waist.
Once that is done, she crosses her arms once again, waiting for the reply on how to get in the tomb.
Klorak ignores Zamoozi. He walks to the door. Placing his hand on the concentric circles in a certain pattern, they begin to glow and a golden-sounding hum is emitted from the door. Then in a sparkle of light, the door simply VANISHES.
Ivar extends his hand in the international sign of after you hoisting his axe and shield he says to the bird-man
after you, Zamoozi and I will be right behind,
he then, smiling, asks Aerys
Aerys, would you be a dear and keep one of those pistols leveled at Klorak, please
Merelinda, in a thoroughly pissed off mood, retreats to the back of the party, loading her crossbow. As they enter the hallway, she looks around.
Albrecht, mounted on Bartimaeus, Ivar and Zamoozi. He begins questioning everyone in general.
So zee man in zee tomb is from zee sky? And vee are lookink for treasure but also lookink for a vay to go to vere he is from?
Bayani draws two Chakrams and walks behind Klorak, keeping a close eye on the wizard as well as looking around for any danger.
You can see down the tunnel all the way to what looks like a natural cavern. In the center of this cavern is a block monument of some kind. MAP UPDATED. Klorak walks with you, he seems to be a bit nervous and excited. Aerys trains her flintlock on his back. Don't be trying anything, Kaw-man.
Ivar smiles at Aerys' comment as he follows a step behind Klorak, Ivar carefully looks around the room and then looks at the monument, for anything interesting.
Merelinda quits glaring at Ivar and Klorak long enough to examine the monument.
