Switch Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Ford blinks. He clearly doesn't understand what the two are doing and looks as though he's getting a headache. "Uh... so... we going forward or what?" He looks confusedly at the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 "We can either go forward, and then left, or we can take the circular path, then head in." Lisette continues, "If we go to the center, we walk a bit farther...but only a small bit. In fact, it would probably be SHORTER to hit the center, rather than going on the circle here." Lisette looks for a round object to work with...are there any (unused) sealing-stones around? Also, she checks the nearby tombs for markings in addition to numbers...names, epitaphs, drawings, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 The tombs are all severely plain. Those numbered in the 9000s are empty. The sealing stones are too big for you to move although you could write on them. If you walk straight ahead both sets of tombs count down at intervals of 16. The only way to save time is to work out which number on the existing path would correspond to the tomb you need on path 14 and travel on the circular path from that. It wouldn't make so much difference. Please advise if you are approaching Mara's tomb in any order and in any particular way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 "Look, we're wasting time standing around here doing mathematics. Let's just head into the centre then find the path we need from there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Lisette says "We may as well head for the center. We might learn something of use from the monument (Will Siffli be able to read it?), and we won't miss the tomb that way. We made it to the sea, this will be a breeze in comparison."

Malchik Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 You trek to the monument. It is a low sixteen sided plinth. It is numbered 1 to 16 on each side but has nothing else written on it. (There are no people to read it these days although the monument itself may predate the arrival of the Avelyssians). A very weathered statue, now completely unidentifiable, stands on the plinth. You set off along path 14 and eventually arrive, tired and short tempered at the tomb before Mara's. You can see even from this distance, that all sorts of things are scattered over the surface of the ground around the tomb. You will need to move nearer to see what they are.

Abramul Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 Lisette suggests that the party go to the rear of the current tomb, in order to approach Mara's tomb unseen. She says, "We don't know if anyone, alive or...not, may still be in there." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted February 4, 2005 Share Posted February 4, 2005 "That sounds like a good idea," Lurel agrees. "But I think if there is real danger, Midge will be able to sense it. But still - can't do any harm to be careful." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 OOC> The weekend is upon us and I am not working late tonight. This will be the last post (sounds vaguely military) from me until Monday. Ponder it well. You group behind the tomb looking toward's Mara's. Each of you senses something slightly different. Princess Siffli feels that there is a presence but not alive and not Mara. Lurel understands that the tomb will answer a question to do with the larger quest he and his party are on. Ford knows that he has a major part to play in reaching the tomb. Lisette knows that she will discover an item that will cause disruption in Avelyssia. Midge knows that Anima has currently deserted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 Ford blinks. "I feel sort of weird. Like someone just told me... something..." He looks around. "I don't like this." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
