The device is about 2 feet tall.

[/sblock]

I so have seen this thing in a movie! Can't remember which! Urrg! Brain hurts

 

[Scott DeWar]

Was it a movie or could it have been something like 'Fringe'?

 

[Binder Fred]

"going there and protecting you is one thing, but looking there sounds like quite the horrific ordeal."

Hm... "So our protection from madness is keeping our eyes closed?" That might make things a bit more... challenging.

<Response Gerard?>

The device did not seem active or moving when Mei Ying saw it, but Ur's engineering skill tells him from the highly detailed replica that it contains many moving parts.

It's roughly cylindrical, with a flanged base studded with little plates, which gives way to a smaller cylinder as it rises. The whole thing is topped by three crescent-shaped - forks? - in a crown-like setting. Eight similar forks are arrayed around the smaller cylinder, and it looks like they can be removed, or moved in some ways? To the side... "Is that a lanyard?"


OOC: It's the Masters of the Universe Cosmic Key.

"I didn't have it going during the vision spell."

 

[Binder Fred]

Ur looks up from his examination of the tiny model: "Did you see the room from the outside, Ying?" That's likely what they're going to be seeking out, whatever the room itself is.

He asks another question after a short pause for thought, "And was there anything else in there with the key?" That them is still bothering him: "If you're building an inescapable vault in the middle of Madness anyways, you might put other things in there while you're at it." Things you don't want to see walking the world for a long, long time...

"Good point that. We may want to use a scroll to find that out."

OOC: It's the Masters of the Universe Cosmic Key.

Yes! Knew it, I knew there was a horribly done skeletal hand operating the device.

 

[Shayuri]

Mei-Ying shakes her head. "It was the only thing in there. There were doors, covered by magical fields. And outside I saw the madness around it, but I don't think that will be useful. It is always changing. And the Vision is not necessarily literal. It is not a scrying spell. What it shows is true, but the truth has layers and meanings within meanings."

 

[Jemal]

OOC: A cookie for BF. It is getting rather dark outside, would you like to continue discussing/use the next vision/go out and talk to the Mind Flayer at night? PS: and, er.. yes the lanyard was supposed to be there.. Hey they gotta hold it somehow!
