[QUOTE="Aust Thale, post: 7232151, member: 6804768"] [b]Respen & Vale Survey the Cavern[/b] Vale: ~ [COLOR=#ff0000]I wondered if you might speak to me again, Able the Axe. Can I name you Able? Can you sense anything unusual about the cavern or these circles, their magic, or their origin? I shall take from any silence that you do not. [/COLOR]~ Vale surveys the golem closely, examining to see whether the elemental in it remains. He knows enough about them to be cautious. "[COLOR=#0000ff] I wonder if the source of the golem's power still lingers. If she does, and we can avoid an open fight, she might tell us more about what imprisoned her in the golem. [/COLOR]" Vale looks around the cavern, examining the teleport circles as well, stretching his knowledge as far as he can for any detail. If this was simply a waypoint, then were the undead similar to the golem; were they protecting this transport node. [ooc] Spellcraft: 31; Religion: 18; Planes: 15; Arch/Engin: 21 [/ooc] [gm] The Golem is completely destroyed; the elemental inside of it has been released, and is long gone. Indeed, Vale does get the sense that this is some sort of waypoint between two major destinations, and that the purpose of the Golem and of the Undead was to protect it. [/gm] "[COLOR=#0000ff]Elf (addressing Respen), you have a curious look. What say you on these circles?[/COLOR]" RESPEN: ~ [COLOR=#ff0000] Scrolls well-purchased. Something about these circles is familiar, though. Auror described them in passing. More advanced magic, like the Mirror of Mental Prowess Auror possessed. Wait. Where did Margull go?

Does any circles have more movement around it than the others? Is it possible to tell what kind of creature or humanoid? [ooc] Track = Survival Check = 12 [/ooc] [gm] All of the circles have only the lightest of traffic, indicated by smudged areas where the slimy algae that covers everything down here has been disturbed.
