[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 2532351, member: 16166"] [sblock]Appraise check (DC 18/48) +20 - Partial Success Heal check (DC 15) +2 - Failure Knowledge - Arcana check (DC 18/28) +25 - Partial Success [/sblock] For hours and hours on end Nikolai pours over his books, looking for any reference to the liquid resting in the vial before him. During other hours the devices scattered across his table boil and whistle as drops of the liquid are carefully studied using the best equipment that money could buy. Was it a day, or was it two? By the rumbling in his stomach, the way his eyes droop to the point where Nikolai tried to stare at the vial through closed eyelids, and the parched throat that screams for water, it was more than a day. But the time was not wasted. The liquid was once alive, sort of. It seemed to be blood of some kinds, though of what creature Nikolai had no idea. As for the gravitational dilemma, that was something else completely. The liquid seemed to have a inertial 'memory' of sorts, it remembered swift action, moving accrodingly in time to the force applied. But once somebody slowly moved it, the liquid could not adjust to the alternate speed and instead would 'lock' itself against gravity once it determined what was happening to it, falling down as normal liquid would after anywhere between eight and seventeen minutes later. There were still so many unanswered questions, Nikolai could not do anything more than what he had done. He knew what it did, just not why or how. It seemed that whatever creature this liquid came from was an extremely rare prize to find. [/QUOTE]
