Talk to Al after getting out of the water, to make sure party split shenanigans didn't happen again.

Spoiler: Math (click to show/hide)

lim[x->0] [(cos(x)-1)/x] = 0. You can prove it with L'Hopital's Rule, lim[x->0] [-sin(x)/x] = 0, it's a well-known limit.
lim[x->0] [ln(x)] = -inf. I just realized that I screwed up my post, it was supposed to be minus ln(x), not plus. It was supposed to come out to +inf. Herpaderp. This is why I'm a computer scientist and not a mathematician.

Hmm. Maybe "Last" means that he's the last of the people from outside the dungeon?
Or maybe he's actually the last Sibling, and thus secretly Cain or something. I dunno.
Either way, maybe it's related to Proxxy having the title "First?"

Gotta love them sign errors.

And hey, now we know why we need the rainbow key. Or at least, one of the reasons we need it.

Room to the south looks like it won't level warp us, so I say we go talk to the Angel the next room down. Hi, howareya, wassupwiddisroom, etc

Al's Rubric Registrar... intriguing.

[javierpwn]

Oh look! A rainbow colored door?!?!? I WONDER WHAT KEY COULD POSSIBLY OPEN IT?!?!?!?!?!?

Watch Betweenford be behind the door, then we would have to fight him again, get another Skill Tree, and put the skill tree inside the skill tree...

Toss item to Al, check menu, hope Cain doesn't try to contact us again, wait for Goombess, enter south door

Ask Al what's up with his "Last" thing, and what darklocking is. Also if that doesn't have something to do with how he looks.
Let him know Rilitia (wah, been too long, don't remember if that's spelt right) isn't under water there. There's a door, a box, and a gate, but no one there.
Go south.

Loot the thingy and come back up top.

Examine device. Return to surface after dealing with examination, to make sure that the party hasn't forgotten us and wandered off again.

As you approach the device, the Rainbow Door dissipates. Odd. You throw the device up to Al.





Al brings the device closer. It seems to be a transmitter or sound device.

"TRAINING'S OVER
BYE BYE OLD FORD
DOWN WITH THE KING
LONG LIVE THE LORD"

It dawns on you that the only way to the next level that doesn't involve stone laser jetpack dragons or waiting for the heat death of the universe is a Hail Mary jump down a giant, sparkly pit of nigh-indeterminate length. The insanity of this "detour" is so spectacular that you spend a brief minute wondering who in all the many multiverses would be stupid enough to even consider it a viable travel method in the first place.



Oh, right.

Spoiler: Party (click to show/hide)

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'd protest, but I guess Cherish is slightly more despicable than Proxxy, Riltia, or Goom-Bess. And, really, Ciro doesn't know much about other people she's encountered.

Descend the shaft.
The next level won't be antimagic, unless freeform really wants to screw with us. We'll be able to heal, and then bloodshape a pair of wings or something when we need to get back up, if we don't find the stairs.

[Elephant Parade]

Hmm...

I'd say that the next floor is probably significantly more lethal than this one. Also, I created a strategy for killing the dragon that we could try, since it might work and it probably wouldn't get us killed.

Edit: Also, the message. I would expect it to be a code of some sort. Trying to figure out what it might be.

Maybe the "down with the king, long live the lord" thing is referring to an attempt to kill and replace Oric? Do we know of any lords? Also, the device probably has something to do with the rainbow door and the water, which are associated with the angels if I remember correctly.* Maybe the angels are trying to dethrone Oric?

*The door isn't directly related, but the key was being kept by Spira to be used by an angel-in-training or something.

[Toaster]

Can you dig it?

Rubric Examination:

Lech: Maybe useful when we're in a pinch, and talking is still a possible way out.
Vampiric: I'd really like to know more about how Drain and Hunger work before trying to make use of it. But we should keep it in mind, maybe if he gets close to dying, again, and we get desperate.
Last: I have no clue as to what Darklocking could possibly do, and knowing Freeform, it could likely be irrevocable should we try it. Save for a day rainier than the one where Vampiric might be used.

So I'd say sticking to Bodyguard, also, how are we going to reduce our party back down so that we have the fourth slot open for Riltia?

Wouldn't Riltia just end up in the passive party? We could also shift somebody else there.

Considering the Hellyfish is blocking the door that we need for a Dragon Bypass, the only real option is shafting... unless we really wanted to try breaking through a wall.

[mastahcheese]

Yeah, I don't like the odds of us fighting that stone dragon.

To the Depths of the Unknown!

Well, there is another way out, but I think that this is better.
