[B(Victor would know if there was a famous burying place of Kazak, wouldn't he?) [/B]


Well, the exact place of Kazak's burial isn't know, but most historians presume he was buried near the capital in a secret tomb. According to legend, Kazak knew he was approaching the end of his days and he had the cadre of his closest guards escort him to a secret cave where he would spend the last few days of his life.

Before leaving, Kazak turned over the reins of the government to his eldest son and officially retired.

Upon closer examination, the demarcation is clear, as if a circular line bisected a footprint. It's as if the only reason a footprint showed up was because the foot was somehow solid or something inside the circle....
 

Rallyn scratches his head. Maybe I'm just dense...

"I have no idea," he shrugs. Not a single one.

On a whim, Rallyn steps in the same spot as the foot step and presses his weight down.

"In my opinion there are two possibilities: the first is that the circle is some kind of elevator or teleporting system, and then the other half of the footprint could be somewhere else...Or it could have been left by a creature that was material only inside the circle. If the first one is true, let's see if there is some kind of hidden lever to activate it."
 

As Rallyn steps upon the circle, Charlotte winces.

"Well, if that thing is touch-activated, I have an odd feeling that we're about to find out what it does..."
 


the circle

Inside and outside the circle, the dust continues to be disturbed by your passing.

There is no tactile difference between the two regions and the stones don't seem to respond to changes in weight.

Victor recalls that his healing spells didn't work inside the circle
 

"I don't know... Maybe the guy was flying until he got here, then couldn't, then resumed outside the circle?"

We really need to go find a ranger, if not for the muscle, then for the cave diving, dirt searching, footprint following experience...
 

Sildarin suddenly recalls the light of Serbanas' blade twinking in and out in the area.
He goes over to the circles edge and draws the sword.

What are you going to do?
I'm testing a theory.
What theory is that?
That inside this circle, magic and -maybe or- psionics are suspended.
And what do you think it will help to decipher either way?
It closes some other alternatives away.


He starts moving the blade back and forth over the circle's edge.
