[QUOTE="talien, post: 2825209, member: 3285"] [b]To Reap the Whirlwind - Part 4b: Beware the City of the Green Death[/b] They left the Main Temple and proceeded to the very end of the Maine Avenue. “Whoa,” said Vlad, pulling up short. He pointed upwards. 36 cyclopean solid black obelisks were arrayed in a honeycombed shape. Yvigne’ seemed amused. “At first, we though the obelisks were made from either black basalt or obsidian. On closer inspection, we discovered it’s neither.” “So what is it made of?” asked Kham. “We don’t know. Something we’ve never seen before on Onara. With some experimentation, we discovered that…well, let me demonstrate. Please stand back.” They all took a step back as Yvigne’ chanted, “[FONT="Impact"]Incensio terum![/FONT]” A fan of flames arched from her hands, but as soon as they touched the obelisks, the flames became a conflagration of hellfire. The scorching heat forced Kham to take a step back and shield his face. “Wow,” said Vlad. Yvigne’ dusted her hands. “Evocations increased in power, but unfortunately, they also become harder to control. It can even rebound on the caster.” “A dubious boon,” said Quintus.” “Trust me, I know this first hand,” said Yvigne’. “This is one of two interesting artifacts. Let me show you the Gravel Pit.” She led them to off to the south of the ruins, to a large gravel pit. It looked to be composed of tiny bits of the same material the obelisks were made of. “Let me guess,” said Kham. “It’s not the same effect here.” “You are correct,” said Yvigne’. “Quite the opposite.” “So you were casting spells here and they didn’t work?” asked Vlad. “One of the masters, Master Ecor, had some interest in bees and honey. As chance would have it, a large flower field rests just south of the Gravel Pit.” She pointed to a field of yellow poppies south of the pit. “Master Ecor set up his beehives and such at the edge of the pit and began to notice a strange effect. After some experimentation, he discovered that the gravel acts as a magical suppressant.” Quintus leaned down to pick up one of the rocks. “The gravel would make for a powerful defense against Harvesters.” “You’d think so,” said Yvigne’,” but when we sent the gravel to other Sanctorums, we discovered its potency only lasts a few hours outside the valley.” Before she could say more, a bell rang loudly from the Elorii buildings in the eastern portion of the ruins. Yvigne’ took off in a sprint towards the buildings. “That’s the alarm! The Sanctorum is under attack!” “I knew I should have stayed with the senator,” said Quintus. [/QUOTE]
