We should stay together! Saruna quirks at Dariamus wandering off. Somewhere here Badru awaits. There is no telling how many minions he has left and he will surely attack you now!
Narrow workbenches crowded with partially constructed porcelain and wood
mannequins ring most of the room’s perimeter, and one table holds an inanimate mummy. The western wall fell when the zelekhuts invaded millennia ago, and Badru has left it open rather than repairing the damage. One of the zelekhuts lies disassembled and lifeless under a table.
** spoiler omitted **
It should be noted, Dariamus moved out first, and others chose to go a different direction.
I am still getting the error message "Illegal TOP value on x_4" when I hit return. Please move Dariamum one square above Olach.
Flying back towards the sounds of combat, Dariamus engages Badru, blade awaking as he strikes.

I attempted to Move Dariamus straight forward another 30' to the entrance of the large circular room. I get a recurring error for an illegal value when I hit return.

[b]Saruna, we have no desire to see you destroyed, or anything else in this place, destroyed. Lead us to the Amethyst Sage and allow us to resolve this peacefully, if he is still sane.[/dice]

Dariamus approaches and bows to the gynosphinx, I thank you for your millennium of service and will ensure your work is preserved and remembered. I would ask you to share your story with us before we release you from your curse ancient curator. Your story is as much a part of this place's history as the works it contains.

Much of what we had was lost and the jeweled sages were scattered. They hid themselves so well as to lose knowledge of each other, and only recently has the Diamond Sage and Sapphire Sage begun the work of reuniting our order. Please, lead us onward. We will not destroy Saruna before talking to him, but we will visit with your master. Perhaps he can set things right between his servants.

Continuing to translate, and explain Badru's Nature, Dariamus answers the creature.
Ancient Osiriani:
We have come at the behest of the Diamond Sage to reopen the ancient stores of knowledge. She was either unaware of the current guardians or chose to not inform us. You and Saruma were obviously both intended as guardians, but have descended to war, threatening to destroy the archive. I would speak with both of your and resolve this conflict. My companions, however, will not follow blindly into the mists.

I grow worried as well. The undead I do not trust. Elementals are much simpler and fire well suited for dealing with mummies. We should search out this Saruma.

I just moved myself on Dariamus' version of the map... not sure why there are two distinct versions now!
With Ditzie each person has to save by hitting enter and reposting the map.

Nodding in acquiesce towards the Diamond Sage, Dariamus agrees, We will do as you request my lady. Should we depart now or will first thing in the morning suffice?

Dariamus always keeps Mage Armor up, even when not expecting trouble. With an 8 hour duration per casting and a pearl of power, it effectively lasts all day.
Dariamus has yet to meet her in person. This is his first scenario since the faction changes.
Greetings Lady Tahonikepsu, it is a pleasure to stand in your presence. I bring you this letter of introduction from Captain Balentiir and place myself at your service.

Darmiamus will ensure his Mage Armor is active.
Noticing the couples nervousness Dariamus asks, It seems unusually quiet today. Has there been any unusually activity in the area lately or is it standard practice in this area to pause every few minutes and look for magical threats?

Dariamus greets the couple with a curt bow before introducing himself, Yes, Captain Balentir sent us, via caravan, from Absolom. The road has been long and blessedly uneventful for once. I trust there is someplace more comfortable we can talk? I feel as though I've just walked a thousand miles.

Dariamus shrugs, Of the Pillars of the Sun I know little, I am from Sothis. Of the Jeweled Sages, I know somewhat more than I can openly discuss. They are the leaders of the Scarab Sages, an order of scholars to which I belong. Amenopheus, The Sapphire Sage and a former adviser to the Ruby Prince, usually coordinates scholars in the field. The dragon Tahonikepsu, The Diamond Sage, leads the effort to find and reunite all the sages and return much knowledge that has been lost to the world.
Continuing on Dariamus explains some of his field qualifications, My primary area of expertise is linguistics, including many of the dead languages we we would be likely to encounter. I am quite fluent in Ancient Osiriani, Azlanti, Draconic and Thassilonian, along with many other tongues. I also have some minor skill as a historian.

Thank you Captian Balintiir. While I am familiar with most of Osirion, I don't believe I've ever personally traveled through the Pillars of the Sun. Are there any particular hazards we should be aware of?
