Gabbemaster Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 "This is how it shall look like", Siffli explains to Lisette, "this part here... this part there..." Succes: "There, the last piece, now it shall be allright" Failure: "Hmm, this dosn't look allright, I wonder what I've maid wrong..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 Lurel and Ford make a passable attempt to assemble all the furniture, including that outside, into the shape of a room. It is possible to see odd marks on the stone floor that help. Their design shows a semicircle of chairs, small tables, cupboards and ornaments. At the centre a large high backed chair, a little like a throne, faces a large table. All the items are marked with a shield shaped device; a black dog, with one paw raised, on a gold background. The catafalque with Mara's bones is opposite the throne with the table between them. Once all the disturbed furniture has been replaced it becomes clear where everything else must go. The only place where the upper body armour could have been laid out was on the table. Siffli pieces it together. On the sides and front of the catafalque Lisette makes out the outlines of various objects. Crossed swords at either side, and crossed swords with a shield at the front. And five slots around the bones, one at the back and two each on the sides. The armour and weapons is as follows: four shortswords of tooled gold and black metal, two long swords, one black the other gold. A shield, black and gold as per the device on all the items in the tomb, with a silvery white ring in the centre, a gold and black closed helm, two black 'arm' pieces, two gold 'arm' pieces. You put them all back. Siffli discovers that one small v-shaped piece of armour is missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabbemaster Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 "I't looks like a piece is missing here", Siffli says, "have anyone found something that looks like it could be a part of an armor?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Lurel offers the metal objects they found on the beach in Levdia to Siffli. "Are these what you are looking for?" He looks around the room. "I wonder.. does anything here look obviously foreign? What did Laca mean?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 "Hmm... just one piece?" Ford rummages about in his backpack to see if he left any in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 A thorough search reveals no small metal v-shaped piece anywhere in or around the tomb. Searching for the foreign object is not easy when no one has any idea of what should be there. The larger objects like table and chairs have been positioned because of marks on the floor, like the marks of where the armour should go on the catafalque. There are no pieces left over. All the furniture is wooden and any cupboards and drawers are empty. Every ornamant bears the same emblem suggesting that they are not 'foreign'. The permanent flame is just in front of the catafalque. The weapons and armour gleam in its light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 "Wait," Lurel says thoughtfully.... "I just remembered something.... I've been so focussed on getting out of that maze that I've lost sight of what our real purpose is. You know, the gates to contact the farseers, and counteracting the alien magic... and what else has been causing this if not alien magic? Even the dog said something like it. I think the piece we're looking for might be in the Castle of Storms." He hesitates. "I think I could get there... on own, at least... to retrieve the armour piece. But.. it would mean leaving you on your own here.. and we don't know yet what that foreign object is. Maybe we need to have the armour completed, and then it will be obvious. Maybe they've switched one of Mara's bones. Maybe there's something under the catafalque. Maybe we can only see it in the dark, or under a different light." He sighs. "If I go now, and use the magic I have, I should be able to get to the Castle of Storms and back in a short time. But I want to know what you think - should we look for the foreign object first?"

Abramul Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 "There seems to be no danger here. I would not be surprised if it is a matter of getting everything in order, and then seeing the obvious. At the worst, we lose a little time." Lisette attempts to first dim, and then brighten the flame. Perhaps it IS simply a matter of lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 OOC> As nothing will happen to the party while you are away Lurel, and there is no difficulty in the Castle, let us assume you take Lisette'sadvice and go and come back. With the return of the final piece, Princess Siffli will be engrossed in getting the armour absolutely accurate. The rest of you watch Lisette. Her experiment with flame reveals that gold and black armour and weapons do not reflect particularly well. With only one piece is there a noticeable difference between her highest and lowest levels of brightness. Nothing else in the room appears unusual in any light.

Abramul Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Lisette examines the piece which has abnormal albedo. "Siffli, does this look unusual to you?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
