Heart of Artifice: Part I--Engineered Enigma

Standing there for a moment, Anvuss realizes nothings going to happen. He steps away and looks at the machine, perplexed.
 

*Elizabeth raises an eyebrow.*

"Well, we know it isn't that it doesn't work for Warforged. Aethelus, would you like to try?"

(OOC: I realised that Kharas may theoretically do something that causes effects on your end that will retcon some of this, actually, but let's keep going in case he doesn't)
 

"Alright." says Aethelus dubiously looking at the array as he steps forward.

[sblock=DM]His wishes are far from as trivial as finding little children, despite that being their task at the moment. No, Aethelus has dreams of power and fame within his house. Being born to a powerful family and not having manifested his dragonmark has left him wanting more (I intend for him to take a mark of Syberys in the end). Remember he is NE and very selfish.[/sblock]
 

[SBLOCK=Aethelus]I see--does he wish for only political influence in his house? What about personal power and mastery, greater achievements and secrets of Artificing disconnected from house politics? He doesn't care about finding the children at all? There's another thing, but I can safely assume his answer to that is no.[/SBLOCK]
 

[sblock=DM]He cares about finding them and Kharas, but his dreams would not revolve around that. I'm a little unclear on his motives, but he is working his way into the non-house affiliated Artificer community and that includes everyone involved in this adventure. He wants to be friendlier with them in hopes of discovering something to raise his own stature and position by making some advance in artifice. In essence he is very selfish, but his needs coincide with the group at the moment.

When it comes to what would he wish for, it'd be something like that. Some great secret that would elevate his stature or lead him to greater fame and fortune. So yes personal power, master, greater achievements, and secrets are all paths to the goal of advancing his stature.[/sblock]
 

[SBLOCK=Aethelus]Works for me! He'll vanish if there is no retcon due to Kharas's actions--I'll need to wait for Velmont. I can tell for sure if there will be a retcon or not based on what he does next--as he long as he doesn't just sit around in the same place, it should be good to go.[/SBLOCK]
 


(OOC: Okay, based on what Kharas is doing, I think I can safely say--)

*Aethelus vanishes just like Kharas did!*

(OOC: This is all still possibly retconnable, but it keeps things going :))
