He creates a septagram around it, filling it with various whorls and swirls, elven runes and star diagrams.Waiting into the night, he observes few stars and looks more then once into his book, comparing, scribbling and referencing something.Finally, he points party members into various places of the diagram, Vermitrax on the place marked by stick figure (skeleton?) human, Lilli small spider sign, Cyr into small circle with wings inside, Kain with Jolly Roger and finally Lerrick into something that might be a dragon. Martelai stands in unmarked circle leaving seventh circle marked by a star-burst empty. He quickly describes what is expected of each (you know, the usual, blood, sweat, tears and few dead chickens <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />)He takes the amulet and starts a lengthy invocation in High Eladrin. Those who prepared the ritual recognize few passages, but these are combined with interspersed requests for intercession, calls upon strange names like Caiphon, Khirad and Haddar. At one point he removes his eladrin glove from the left hand revealing swirling purple tattoo on the upper side of his hand. The swirl spirals inward as if bursting from one point in the middle of the hand. Continuing his chant in draconic, he pricks his hand with the amulet in the middle of the tattoo and dark blood wells up filling the tattoo and quickly disappearing into the sleeve.As the ritual progresses, a beam of purple light strikes the empty star-burst circle and whole of the diagram starts glowing in the dark.OOC: I'll leave MadAzolin the rest...<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4105274/" target="_blank">Arcana; Arcana; Endurance; Dungeoneering (1d20+13=30, 1d20+13=21, 1d20+7=11, 1d20+4=15)</a></blockquote>
