The Crux of the Matter

"I feel better. Now let's go." his rapier adn old good buckler in hands, he goes foward and finish to climb that stairs. Hogarth wait for the others to follow Rinaldo before he closes the line.

(OOC: Is anyone floating with the Weightless thing, or is everyone walking? It doesn't really matter, since the speed isn't affected by that, but it's good to know)

*They float and/or climb up the stairs for a while to get to the next level, mainly since the last level was so tall. Once they reach the next landing, they find that the way ahead is sealed in two directions. The stairs up have one seal, and the elaborate gilded doors leading to the room or rooms on this floor have another.*

"The Crux is through that door--the seal we put on it is powerful but turned inward so that the energy won't leak out...at least, so it won't leak out toomuch. Since it is turned inward like that, it should be easy to use Dispel Magic on it, but we made it immune to our own magics in case one of the more insane Wraiths decided to open it up and expose the whole world to the Crux--we already can't enter the area just around the Crux for whatever curious reason we can't leave this tower, but just opening it and leaving it like that could be dangerous, you know? Do any of you have a Dispel for that? Sin is sealed upstairs. I'd suggest to just leave that one sealed, unless you guys are much stronger than you look and want to kill her and take the magic items she has."
 

[SBLOCK=Vanitri]*Jokes about teenage makeout sessions aside, Vanitri isn't really paying attention to Laynie: he's far too entranced by Love, who, like her aspect name implies, exudes a warm happy feeling--plus she's incredibly stunningly gorgeous. As they travel together, he can't help but fantasise about her, imagine her clothes not being there, grin goofily, and other teenage things like that. He feels as if he is, to risk the obvious pun with her name, in love.*[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Rinaldo]*As they are traveling together, Rinaldo becomes more and more entranced by love, who, like her name implies, exudes a warm happy feeling--plus she's incredibly stunningly beautiful. He is incredibly attracted to her, and he begins to fantasise about her, and perhaps to fall in love. At the same time, though he doesn't notice this because it isn't apparent, memories and thoughts of Valeria seem to become less important and fade until they aren't even there anymore--all that's left is this wondrous and perfect woman in front of him.*

(OOC: Hogarth is affected similarly--as the aspect of love, she unconsciously and unintentionally causes men to fall in love with her. Guess it will be hopeless for her to keep telling people to stop staring at her chest and look in her eyes! :lol: )[/SBLOCK]
 

"OOh I like this sash!" says Tenebrynn as she swoops across in front of Laynie showing it off. She'll continue flying upwards with the rest content to look at her pretty things until something more important shows up. She has a dispel magic and will use it when needed.
 

"What will happen to you if Sin is released?" Asks Vanitri, who has drifted rather close to Love. "And won't she come after the Crux if she can?"
 

"Well, if you release her, tell me first so I can run away and hide. I don't want to get turned into one of her servants! They're scarier than the Wraiths Eve can make because they're smarter...Sin made Eve the way she is too. She can't come after the Crux because she can't enter the area where the Crux is, just like all of us. Well, technically Elpis can go in, but that's just because Laynie can enter."
 


"Well, if you destroy the crux, nobody knows. Some of the aspects think that the aspects will be annihilated or that the entire tower will be destroyed or sent into the Void between dimensions or outside of normal Spacetime or something...it's a bit scary, but it will destroy the distortions too, and Eve and Sin want to not destroy it and find a way to leave here, so destroying it must be a good thing, right?"
 

Hogarth simply stare at Love, almost forgetting to listen. Rinaldo seems more concentrated on the discussion, but it seems to aks him so effort. "Hogarth have a dispel."

"What?"

"I wouldn't mind to bring back more item for the shop, but with teh great succes we had earlier, I'm really not sure it should eb wise to try to get on Sin like that, and I tried to convince her servant to turn on her, but none seems willing to do so.

So, we take the Crux, bring it out of teh tower and destroy it? Or we must destroy it inside the tower?"
 

"They can't turn on her even if somewhere deep inside they wanted to...it's like Exuberance--she and Joy used to play together, but then Exuberance was taken...They are corrupted to evil by her power, and Eve has a lesser form of it as well."

"I don't really know the specifics, but I don't think the Crux can be moved, so I imagine you will just be destroying it where it is unless you have another plan."
