Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

[Rystil Arden]

Talia:
[SBLOCK]
*Subterfuge gently accepts Talia's embrace as he holds her in his arms, revelling the moment along with her.*

"I'm so glad you agreed to come see this play with me," he whispers.

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*The monastery does not look too different in the daylight, a plain-looking building with simple rooms off to the side, the only real ornament an elaborate shrine to the spirits of this place. Monks and priestesses bustle about en route to performing their daily duties. Notably, Rin kneels by the shrine with her head down and her arms up in supplication.*

[SBLOCK]“Alyria, can you actually see, hear, and feel what’s going on on the ship or is it more of a general awareness of where everything and everyone is? Also, does it depend on how strong you are, as to how fast you can move the ship?”

*Zaeryn asks, as he looks at the projected image of their trip realising he still has a few questions about their journey too.*[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Alyria winks at Zaeryn.*

"No need to worry, it is just a general awareness. As for speed--magical strength is indeed tied to speed, but it only really matters for tactical speed. You see, each Spelljamming helm has its own maximum Spelljamming speed, so no matter how strong or weak the helmsman, once you get to the maximum speed, you won't be reaching over. On the other hand, when there is a nearby object and the ship slows to tactical speed, the power of the helmsman is crucial."

Zaeryn T'Erilan, Male Altanian Arcanist

Rystil

[SBLOCK]*Feeling as if he was a little transparent with his last question, Zaeryn blushes just a little, but he’s so interested about all of the subject matter at hand he continues to ask questions of Alyria anyway.*

“I see, that’s good to know...hmm, about the trip...how long will it take us to reach our destination and what different conditions will we encounter outside of a sphere? Oh and what was that about not needing to replenish our air?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"We should reach Eldiz in two weeks, give or take a bit depending on how often we need to drop to tactical speed, and if we can catch a ride on any advantageous flows in the phlogiston--that is the stuff outside of a sphere...It is a flowing mass of aether, but I suppose it is best to see it for oneself. As for replenshing air--if a trip is too long, it becomes necessary to stop somewhere and refresh the air so that it doesn't run out. Have to have enough air to breathe, after all, eh?"

Rystil

[SBLOCK]“Well breathing is something I’ve become used to, and something I’d like to keep doing,” Zaeryn chuckles, before asking, “How long until we leave the sphere? Oh, you said no fire spells in the phlogiston before didn't you...is it the phlogiston itself that is combustible?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"We shall be out of the sphere in a few days. As to phlogiston--it isn't just combustible, it is highly explosive, so do beware--it isn't the place for Erilan-style fiery attacks, unless you envy the phoenix," Alyria winks at Valyssa, who laughs a bit at the joke.
[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK]“Well it’s fortunate that I don’t have much fire magic and can easily use something else then isn’t it,” Zaeryn replies grinning at the joke himself, “Am I correct to assume then that force attacks, and any other elemental strike is safe?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
"That is correct--everything except fire is perfectly fine." Alyria agrees.
