    None of the books or scrolls seem to focus on this place. All are about outside things and are things you'd find in a wizard's library- except no spell books or spell scrolls.

    Is there a book on Wild Magic at all? Like the study of it, or better yet, to control it?

    "Hm. . . I'll be back soon."

    Neera is going to try and look for a book on Wild Magic.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    No. No books on Wild Magic at all. (It's too recent a development).

    *Looks for books on mystical creatures, or a monster manual if you will*
  • VallmyrVallmyr Member, Mobile Tester Posts: 2,459
    Neera will return to the rest of the group and sigh at not being able to find anything.

    While she hadn't been able to find any books about the pools, or anything magical, Aerie wondered... Could there be a secret passageway hidden somewhere, ready to be unlocked at the tilt of a book? Or perhaps she could find the diaries of those who'd lived here?

    Likely not. If Alora hadn't found a secret passage, there probably wasn't one here, and Aerie doubted that anyone would stick their private diary on a random shelf in a library, where anyone could find or read it. Still, it couldn't hurt to keep an open eye as she searched.

    OOC: I'm half-hoping that Aerie accidentally finds a secret passage in all this. :) Long-shot, but hey.

    Once Alora has searched the whole room she will go back to the beetles. Is it possible to lift the cages up to check that nothing is underneath them?
  • kcwisekcwise Member Posts: 2,287
    OOC: Aaaah! Alora is about to set loose the GLOWING BLOOD BEETLES! Run for your lives!! Okay, seriously, they're probably just baby fire beetles.... Aaaah! Alora is about to set loose the GLOWING FIRE BEETLES!
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    "I'm not going to let them out the cage Ajantis. I was only going to move the cage if they couldn't get out." Alora is now worried. Do fire beetles breathe fire, she wonders?

    "What do you think about sticking the beetles?"

    No secret passages, and the cages are fixed to the wall.

    "I can't find anything worth stealing ... I mean that will help us find the pools. Shall we head off again?"

    When the party is ready Alora will take the corridor that goes north and then east.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay, you take the corridor, which curves to the north. The corridor swings around, describing half-circle, before heading south. At the end of the half-circle, the corridor leads south for 60' before turning a corner and heading west again. After 30' you find yourself in a 20' wide corridor. To the south, were the two rooms with the hidden doors that you found to the east almost back when you first entered the complex (hidden under moss). You also recall finding a door to the west (also hidden under moss) that you never entered. To the south and slightly west, the corridor angles, still traveling south, until the corridor comes to a sharp point before heading east and south once more. (Picture to come)

    "Let's try the moss-hidden door we didn't try before," suggests Alora (who then proceeds to do just that without waiting for a response).
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Alora opens the door to find that the entire space within is one room, a storeroom by the looks of it. There are approximately 60 barrels and casks, and they only take u a small part of the open room, with some to the north and the rest to the south with a wide-open space between. Each cask and barrel is labeled with a two-letter code, but which you can't decipher (except that you have a small cask of SD- Hard Candy and a cask of UT- Ale with you from one of the earlier rooms.
  • kcwisekcwise Member Posts: 2,287
    "More casks, Arkanis. Maybe you can replenish your stock."
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora will go in and search the room, looking in particular for casks marked SD so she can replenish her stock of hard candy.

    "I see. Maybe i come back later for these, but now i'm eager to find those pools of water. Otherwise, water or not i think our trip to here was not completly a waste of time. If all else fails we have enough wealth to pay the clerics' service in gold. But now, just keep on going."

    OOC: The above map link is broken for me. Is it this one?

    Yes.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    OOC: I'm afraid I am totally lost again. Does anyone know where we are on the map?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Where the S door is on the left side of the map, towards the bottom of the map.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Once everyone has finished looking through the room Alora (fortified by more hard candy if she managed to find it) will head back into the corridor that heads diagonally south west before turning sharply south east. She will keep following that until it turns south.
  • kcwisekcwise Member Posts: 2,287
    "I'm beginning to think this pool will be in the last place we look. Well, I guess it would have to be, actually. We would hardly keep looking after we found it, would we? Nevermind, carry on."
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Alora is starting to feel despondent. "I don't think we're ever going to find the pool. We've looked everywhere and it isn't anywhere. And if we don't find it the druid lady will turn me back into a big balloon. And I don't want to be a big balloon."

    Alora eats some more sweets to cheer herself up.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Okay, Jaheira feels another secret door on the southwest-leaning corridor. When Alora opens it, it is full of construction supplies. (more to come)
