Message: <blockquote data-quote="sunshadow21" data-source="post: 5935152" data-attributes="member: 6667193">[gm]The curtain rises once more.[/gm]A couple of weeks go by rather pleasantly. Orders are made for new gear and the party settles into one of the local inns, where they spend the evenings in the busy common room, seeing all sorts of mercenaries and businessman come and go throughout the period. Indeed, the entire town seems rather busy and hectic, as if it had been sleeping the last half of a century and was starting to wake up. During the day, there is plenty to do. Andolyn occasionally pops in to ask a question about this or that detail of what you saw or to ask for help on one of several small experiments she has running to aid her with the various tasks she has been hired to help with. Once you get to know her, she's actually fairly laid back when not being threatened, though still a bit distant. Gendrew also enlists your aid in his eternal quest to make the perfect food golem, being particularly keen for Ni's help, as the gnome had first had experience with one of his failed attempts. Otherwise, learning spells, and aiding in the seemingly innumerable other small tasks that needed to be done to secure Silverton and the Silver Road's place in the affairs of the greater world ensure that the days are full. Finally one day, Andolyn summons all of you to her working quarters, and tells you she has developed a spell that she believes will unlock the seal. She still doesn't know precisely what the symbol is, or who it represents, but she believes its a recent variant of an ancient demon worshipping cult. She goes over the spell with whoever is going to be casting it on the seal, and gives the party a scroll for the actual casting. With a final warning to be careful, the party is now clear to tackle the seal and whatever lays behind it.The trip back to the tower is uneventful. They arrive in time to see the last of the lizardfolk packing up and moving to whatever location it was that they and the baron could agree on as a reasonable temporary home while the larger affairs were settled. Staring at the door, you prepare the scroll, and take one final breath before casting it and discovering what lay on the other side. [ooc]I need to know any final preparations you took before leaving for the tower, as well as before casting the "key" spell to unlock the seal. Positioning on the staircase, and deciding who is casting the scroll (it could be any of the casters) is also needed. Just to note, whoever is casting will the be one closest to the seal.[/ooc]</blockquote>
