Week Six

[letsplayamod]

You've survived, for lack of better wording, the latest week of trials and tribulations. This one had been more costly than most: Typhon's machinations have brought your group to nearly half the size it was when Athena first brought you to this island. Whether it ends with him or with you is still too soon to make out. One thing's for certain. Things cannot be allowed to continue as they are.

Speaking of continuing, the next floor has been revealed to you. Just how far down this island goes is a bit of a mystery, but you get the feeling that you're close to something important. Maybe that thing Athena wanted you to find before Typhon does. You can ruminate on that as you watch the waters below. Waves still lap at the cliffs, but it all seems lower than it did weeks ago. Like the ocean itself is shrinking...

[Well, that certainly catches Astarion's attention.]

Are you certain it still works? Being in this world hasn't affected it?

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega hands the emerald over to Astarion to see. If he has any ability to sense energy in mystical artifacts, he would feel tremendous power indeed. ]

I HAVE SCANNED IT THOROUGHLY. ITS ENERGY OUTPUT IS SIGNIFICANT. IT IS MOST DEFINITELY “WORKING” AS IT SHOULD.

[pariunt]

[He's no mage, but he certain can feel some sort of power emanating from it.]

Incredible.

[There's something in his expression, like he's going to say more but thinks better of it.]

I'm amazed that something so powerful had been there the entire time.

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega nods with his whole upper body. ]

IT IS AS IF LADY ATHENA KNEW WE WOULD HAVE NEED OF IT. WE SHOULD BE THANKING HER FOR REACHING ACROSS WORLDS FOR IT.

[ He leans in conspiratorially to Astarion, his voice low and quiet for once. ]

Astarion, our odds of success have increased dramatically. The math is now in our favor.

[pariunt]

Indeed. I would like to thank her in person.

[If she ever returns. He's had his doubts for some time.

All the same, his voice lowers.]

With such a powerful thing, we'll need to move carefully. We can't let Typhon catch wind.

[eeeonetwothree]

[ Omega nods. ]

Typhon will be made to believe I mean to face him at a different time than I actually mean to. Do not worry.

[pariunt]

[All Astarion can do is nod. For the first time in a long time, he feels something approaching confidence.]

With something like this, I'm certain you won't miss.

[Oh, he can't wait to see Typhon's face.]
