Zarta looks quizzically at Macondi. "Story? What story? On what scroll? And what does it have to do with what happened here?!" Zarta asks, confused.

"Umm. Where did I put that scroll?" Macondi thinks back for a couple of seconds. "Oh, right. I threw it at Aslynn's Nightmare while she was looking for the field-burning dagger." Macondi starts looking around the room for the incomplete scroll. "It was the first time she was here, so somewhere in this area."

Aztryx apprises the Venture-Captains of the situation, beginning with the appearance of the shadows to the slaying of Aslynn by Nic.

'... and that, is what happened here. We still don't know why we couldn't leave, nor understand Aslynn's words. Perhaps, you can enlighten us?"

Zarta stares at the scroll Macondi finds. She's simply speechless, wondering why a Pathfinder would put so much importance in this. Nevertheless, she fights her irritation down and says, "Oh, that. That is a draft of a story that has been included in one of the chapbooks that you can get at the Grand Bazaar. I believe it's called "The Further Adventures of Bitisururu Blue". I'm not a big fan of such drivel myself, but I've been told that Bitisururu has quite the following. She even added some reptile as a companion. Badimele or some such."

"I must say I wasn't expecting such things when we were asked to do this task." says Erlam.

"Now, I think you need to give a good look to this floating hand and talking chest...

"Oh, that. That is a draft of a story that has been included in one of the chapbooks that you can get at the Grand Bazaar."

"Oh, OK. That works. I'll have to go there sometime."

They gather reports from you, Rain and Biglock, then meet back in the vault a few hours later.

Zarta turns the chalice over multiple times, trying to see if she can get any of the magic liquid to appear. When everyone has finally gathered for the debrief, she says, "Well, I'm still not sure what this is, but all your reports are consistent. It's obviously a central piece of Aslynn's plan. In a way, it's a good thing that shard of her mind infiltrated our vaults, as it's allowed us to understand a few things we might have otherwise missed! I wish we could've learned about this without putting your lives in danger, and for that, I apologize. I hope you're ready for more adventures. We've just scratched the surface of the vault's contents, and we need to act fast to learn more about some of these items. One thing is certain: we can't leave everything here and wait around for Aslynn to strike again."

The faction leaders quickly fall into a heated discussion over the best approach to the items—it's clear that they don't see eye to eye, but they all agree that they'll need to work together for the sake of the Society's future! While the Society's leaders argue, Biglock gives you a smug grin. "Nice work. Hey—Zarta is pretty great. She says Mr. Glovely and I don't have to stick around this dusty vault! Don't worry, though. We'll be in touch. I've got a few schemes in mind. When I'm done making arrangements, Mr. Glovely will come calling!"

FIN

Thanks for playing all! RPG Chronicles is currently under maintenance so there will be a slight delay with Chronicles. The game has already been reported, however.

Nic wipes the dagger's blade clean before resheathing it and (a little reluctantly) returning it to the sorted items. "The enemy was quite interested in this."

Thanks for the game everyone!

Dang! I missed it!

Haohji grins and hands back both the spear and the armor, Well, this was fun, let's do it again sometime! In the meantime, if any of you are interested in training together, I am putting together a little dojo, designing the equipment myself...

The young fighter rattles on about body mechanics and esoteric healing arts as long as he has an ear of interest...

Nic nods along, interested.

Excellent! Nic, now when you were applying your hasty medicine to me, I noticed it take effect immediately... Now I think you may be opening the chakras when you..., Haohji and Nic head toward the doors discussing theory...

Aztryx bows and thanks everyone. "Back to the library with me. There's more to study."

Macondi smiles and waves. "OK. If our work here is done - at least for the moment - then I am going to head to the bazaar." He goes through the door and turns the wrong way down the hall. A few moments later you see him scurry past the doorway again headed the right direction this time.

Yes, thank you all for the wonderful game.

The dhamphir will leave without a sound , slipping out of the room.
