[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5885598, member: 6673727"] [sblock=Eanos & Fulgrim]Phedilo nods, only too happy to expound; he seems not to notice Eanos' earlier jibe. [COLOR="YellowGreen"] "Yes, Master Eanos, but they are only theories, so I caution you not to place too much stock in them." "From what I understand about this wizard - his name was Endrerdne, by the way - he was a completist: when he undertook a project, he resolved to exhaust its potential. Now, the chaos stone is connected to the corresponding vertex along the Moral Path: from what I know of Endrerdne, he wouldn't limit himself to accessing a limited portion of that Path, but rather, endeavor to connect to its other elements as well. I am already aware of the existence and location of the stone connecting to the Neutral Vertex; the stone of law, however, has yet to be rediscovered. Depending on how you interpret it, there is evidence to suggest that the stone I am currently pursuing is indeed the missing lawful stone."[/COLOR] Phedilo takes a moment to think, and then continues. [COLOR="YellowGreen"]"I believe this to be the most likely case, but there are other possibilities as well. Endrerdne is known to have created a stone which connects to the Celestial Vertex; for the reasons I have already mentioned, I also believe he created an accompanying stone accessing the Infernal Vertex, which is also currently unaccounted for. Now, I do not believe the stone I am currently pursuing to be that stone..." [/COLOR] Phedilo stops for a moment, shuddering. [COLOR="YellowGreen"] "In fact, I hope that stone has been lost forever. But I would be remiss if I did not mention the possibility. From there," Phedilo waves his hand, "there are other possibilities and theories, but those are the most likely of the bunch."[/COLOR] Eanos gets the sense that Phedilo isn't intentionally holding back anything from them. While he was and remains uncomfortable with asking potentially so much of them, at this point, he seems to have taken their willingness to aid him at their word. Any curtailing of details is likely to come from a life-long series of requests for less information instead of more of it. Thus is the curse of the academic.[/sblock] [sblock=Elenka/Audra/Drev]Captain Hwuzel nods, eying the dragons dispassionately. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"Aye, the muzzles are necessary, otherwise the dragons would be blasting the cage bars with their frost-breath at every opportunity. I will not allow their removal." [/COLOR] The Captain seems rather adamant about this, although then again, he seemed equally resolved to not reveal the dragons' presence to Audra and Elenka in the first place. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"The dragons eat when we feed them: they are not picky about when they eat, or what, for that matter." [/COLOR] Hwuzel eyes Elenka sternly. [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]"You would be wise to heed that, Lady Elenka: your wood-man is very strong, but these are dangerous creatures, however young."[/COLOR][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
