[e20 PF] And with strange aeons...

[Scott DeWar]

ooc: we continue heading toward that then?

"Lord Solar, unless there is any further counsel you wish to offer...I believe our course is set," and unless Michael has anything further to add, Rook begins flying toward the cloud, with hopefully his new allies in tow.

Everyone:


As you fly towards the cloud, there is little that you can see. Without the racket of the Swarm, however, it is suddenly eerily quiet in the fog. Great shadows appear and disappear, but none break through the haze.

When you get far enough, however, the fog begins to lift, and you can see a large island of rock floating in the sky. The top of it is a flat surface with a structure on it, lots of rings of walls and large pillars sticking into the air. Some rings are on their own, but all are seemingly part of a great circle of them, with one central ring in the middle.

There are rings jutting out through the lower parts of the rock as well, layers of it apparently appearing out of the rough stone as if the stone had swallowed them whole.

The stone and the rock are made of some kind of white rock which, in the light of the Astral Plane, seems to be a dusk-like purple-blue, like the sky at twilight.

 

[Thaven]

"With no actual idea where to go, it seems that structure is our only choice!"

The eerie quiet did little to calm Rook's nerves as he hovered with his new allies. Even Cartaras and Endoril were quiet; silence perhaps by the august gloom which pervaded the place.

It only served to make that feeling all the worse.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"Perhaps we should go to the front door and knock?"

 

[Thaven]

"Perhaps we should go to the front door and knock?"

"We...could..." Rook chuckled slightly at Hedron, wondering what fiends lurk in defense of their corrupted citadel.

"Do we possess any abilities to divine either, what lurks beyond those walls, or the best way to approach our goal?" Rook asks unrhetorically, not knowing the answer. "I regret that magic is not one of my strongest gifts..."

"If we had to guess, I'd wager that going down and coming up from below the central island and into the structure would avoid the most attention but I can't truly say for certain.

Xanfire shook his head "Most of the spells I have prepared are for combat and not for divining. The only real divining spell is communications with Iomedae."

 

[Scott DeWar]

Hedron will try and control his fall to slow down.

"I could sneak around, get a look at what's inside," Thorn offers. "Hard to be stealthy on a carpet though. Lets find a place to land that's out of sight from the fort there, and I'll scout ahead a bit."

 

[Thaven]

"Does Iomedae offer advice in situations such as this?" Rook asked Xanfire, curious. "If she did, perhaps we should consult her; or what of Michael? Given we're here on a mission that spans defence of the universe, perhaps he can divine some path forward?"

Looking at Thorn, "Yes, I've no doubt your scouting abilities are unmatched," Rook nodded. "We need to be cautious, in any case."
