[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 6295819, member: 4441"] Jastor looks up at Father Seren, and behind him, the imposing form of Duncan and the lithe form of Echo. "Ah," he says, almost sounding like he'd been expecting you. "Seekers. Do sit. And it's Vellen Authron, actually. Rarer still in the Steadfast." He waits until all have sat (or loomed as the case may be), and makes a complicated gesture to the server. A moment later, a large platter comes out with a wide variety of bite-sized purple foods on it - lavender noodles in plum-colored sauce, indigo steak with melted violet cheese, a flowering vegetable of some sort, steamed to a pale purple and sprinkled with pale periwinkle-purple seasoning, and a half-dozen other things besides. "The signal," he says abruptly, pointing a slim finger at Echo. "It resonates with my orb. Only around those who have gotten the Call. All of you have, but it's stronger with you." He steeples his fingers and glares through them, looking almost grim. "What in this world could have possessed you to answer?" -- The wilderness around Wislayn is mostly plains, and fairly tame, as things go. There's a smaller village nearby that helps tend to the aneen herds kept out here by merchants, because only so much fits into the city. Fences consisting of poles of glimmering light that flash pulses between them keep the herds in, and the village is surrounded by a sturdy stockade of wood and synth. It's mostly plains around here, with a few stands of trees, along with three roads that head deeper into Augur-Kala. It's an odd thing - you noticed there has been a great deal more traffic out to Wislayn than in recently. --- In looking around the shelves, you don't find anything on the factory you discovered. Of Augur-Kala, you find a couple of small journals, one on simple paper, the other as a light pen that beams onto the closest flat surface. Most of the contents are of some of the strange numenera encountered - floating sky sentinels no one has seen move, the braided waterways used by the Augurs to move goods and people, the central spire some call, "The Homespike," which is closed to outsiders, occasional references to what are referred to as "nuisances," hazards or predatory creatures you would be able to take note of for future reference. The two books will run you 15 shins. But what is perhaps most interesting is the more recent book, the paper one. On the last page there is a reference to, "the great loss they are suffering," and an abrupt decision by the author to return home as quickly as possible. It seemed she was very far to the east when she made this last entry. -- [sblock=OOC]OOC: The extra cyphers can be sold for anything from 20-40 shins, depending on their utility and who you sold them to. The mutants will take them happily, though they tend to pay less, while the numenera merchants in the shops are more discriminating, but tend to pay more. One saves you time, the other gets you more money. Selling to the mutant nets you about 25 per cypher on average and can be done in an hour, to the merchants, about 35 on average, but takes you nearly 4 hours.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
