Investigate the sites of the activity and see if I can find out what happened here.
[2] You can't seem to find anything else. All you can see is that the inhabitants seem to have simply dropped what they were doing and left.
Test the liquid a bit on myself to make sure it's safe if it is then give it to my dragon.
[2] You drink a bit of the strange liquid, but it doesn't seem to have any immediate side effects. Seeing no danger, you feed the rest to your drake. It seems to no longer be hungry.
scan the shadows of the city for things/places/people of interest
[3] The city seems pretty ordinary... on the outside. You cannot sense anything at all from inside the uniform gray buildings that make up half the city, meaning something is blocking your search.
I fly the chariot to the portal and enter the wind plane.(it is wind plane right?)
[5] You fly through the portal and even manage to locate Malak through the power of META.
I poke the glass a couple times to see if I can increase the range by 10x (since 100 meters is still within visual range) and limit it to threatening objects. "Oh, Legion, Theric, I thought you aught to know we're going pirate hunting. Also, start slowing the ship out of warp now so we don't go splat." Then, testing my range (or OOC reading), I ask Flint "Wanna' go pirate hunting?"
(Fear the powers of the dice! There was nothing here before you decided to search the place.)
[4] You manage to zoom the display out after a bit of fiddling. This also reduces the level of detail displayed greatly, making the display much more manageable. As you do this you notice something on the edge of the radar. It appears to be a large ship. And by "large", I mean Legion looks small comparatively.
Flint still doesn't respond to your messages, but you can faintly contact his mind even from this distance.
"With the power vested in me as the sovereign representative of the Plane of Fire --
--Known for its cleansing flame and non-planar configuration--
I demand the immediate identification of this contamination now!"
I am insulted you think I wouldn't see the reference without a link... but that has nothing to do with your roll, I promise. You failed without my aid.
[1] You attempt to lawyer the darkness into identifying itself. The darkness wills that your laws do not apply to it. "Bink!" And it was so. Besides, you have no lawninja.
Politely ask a passerby directions to their equivalent of a town hall.
The place their mayor or such hangs out.
[6] You locate the town hall. You do this by yelling at random people, demanding to be taken to their leader. Eventually someone points you in the right direction just to shut you up.
