RL: WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING HELL IS THIS SHIT? WAKE UP, YA WEENIES!
There's no better way to ingratiate yourself to people you're meeting for the first time than waking them up violently! So you do that.
You empty your lungs at the ladies and gentleman having a snooze. They wake in short order.
Claire, Mimi and Steve have all been halted in their investigations, and are now awake. Fun times!
>PA: See if you can INVESTIGATE the meaning of the writing or if DA can understand it.
Skaian Lore Check?
[5,10]+13=27
DA can only tell you that the language is something known as Ancient Skaian, not that there was ever a race of Skaians to make them. It's just that they've always been there. Not much else to call them.
You take a look at the characters, and are only able to deduce that 8 of them appear to be important, considering they are more elaborate than the rest, and occur in groups.
One of the 8 characters also shows up by itself. Next to a graphical representation of the flower-pedestal deal at the other end of the room.
Artifacts!
One quick note about that. The person's personal artifacts will not be on their own land. LH would have known that, so feel free to substitute in that information.
Mikheal: Realize that he just went into the room which your Uncle stays in when hes home, from which there is only one way in and out.
Mikheal: Corner him like a Rat and stamp him out. (Not before doing a Second Wind though)
You rub your hands together with malicious glee. You have him trapped. Trapped like a rat! Victory will soon be yours!
"MIKHAEL!"Uh oh. You hear the voice of one of the Elder Gods reach your mind.
"YOUR QUEST FOR VEGEANCE HAS DOOMED YOU. BY THE TIME YOU REACH HIM, THE MAGE WILL HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL. CLEARLY, YOU WERE UNWORTHY OF OUR ATTENTIONS.
ENJOY YOUR DEATH- WE'VE NO DOUBT IT WILL COME SWIFTLY."Well. That was ominous. But you have bigger fish to fry. Bigger, fatter, dumber fish that throw safes at you and gouge your eyes.
You start preparing yourself for the final encouner with HB when you hear a spectacular crash from your Uncle's room. When you enter, you find a hole in the wall far larger than your enemy. You look outside the hole, but that bastard's seems to have made good his escape.
If you had a hat, you'd throw it down in disgust.
