The Crux of the Matter

"I wouldn't plan on it, but we can certaintly try. She's crafty now, and certaintly more crafty than the young aspect of her I fought earlier," Vanitri says. "You're also assuming that whatever has Laynie will let us take her, which is a completely different issue."
 

"You want to destroy the Crux now and let Hogarth soul to be trap for eternity, lost in a soulstone we will be never able to recover? You want to let Tenebrynn's soul be absorbed by that undead we neutralized? If we can get out of here, I doubt we will be able to carry Ashnar body in our escape. You want to let him dead forever. And as we don't know what will happen once we will destoy it, you want to take the risk to see that whole region blasted by some unstable magic force?"

Rinaldo stands up. He firmly look at Vanitri. "I don't want any of that. And I don't want Laynie to be surrender to Sin. I don't want to see Sin getting out of that tower either. I'm trying to find solutions to all those problem, what do you suggest better than that?"

He turns his gaze away. "Tenebrynn's faith is in Sin's hand presently. Guile cannot help us anymore. Hogarth neither. We have to asks Sin to heal him. She won't do it if we don't offer her something in return. Up to now, we know only one thing she is trying to get, Laynie."

"Ashnar can be saved if we can get his body out of the tower before the tower is destroyed. We can then carry the body to Monemvassia, where we are sure we can find someone to ressurect him. He is a knight of Monemvassia and it sure the church there will help us. But if we can trick Sin, we will be able to have Ashnar help into recovering Laynie."

"Laynie is away and out of reach of Sin. She is safe for the moment. We aren't sure if she is still inside teh tower, or outside, but I would guess she is outside, or Sin would have been able to reach her... but I might be wrong on that."

"Hogarth' body is here, but we won't be able to ressurect him without getting that soulstone. If we want to save him, we need to trick Sin into getting us back, confront her (which I doubt we have the power to do) or bargain with her. If we bargain, we have to consider she is an evil aspect, but that doesn't mean she is chaotic and she wouldn't keep her word."

"We need to get rid of that curse tower, or it is the whole world that could suffer from the wild magic and all the chronomancy that is just too unstable. By destroying the Crux, we get rid of that danger, but we don't know teh reaction of teh Crux once it is detsoryed. Will the tower become a normal tower or will it blast the whole region. We can't tell at the moment."

"Tenebrynn, analyze the Crux. Get every bit of information you can. What weakness it has, what kind fo energy it is, where teh enrgy flwo. Anything, to the useless detail."

"Vanitri, tell us everything you know on Elayna and Sin. You are teh one who knows the most about her..." Rinaldo grow silent for a moment.

"... and we will need to go back into the library."
 


(OOC: By that, I take it that Tenny is approaching the Crux, then, getting close to it? If so, does she have any desire to destroy it? (even if not at the moment) )

OOC: Doh, missed that one line.

"Elayna from the book was a young student at the Accademy, who killed non-humans and posed as the Dark Lord, though she was not the first one to use that name. She inhabited Laynie's body and sucked souls from others to restore her own. She wanted no harm to come to the school, but beyond that simply chose to take what she could with no remorse beyond a mild 'them or me' attitude. If I had killed Laynie back then, perhaps I could have stoped her from taking her last soul, but it seemed there was even more at stake with the little girl than was apparent at the time. That Elayna didn't know who Laynie was.

"Sin, will likely do what she can to get what she wants, and realy cares little of who she hurts to get her way, potentialy even her own daughter. Elayna I faced had some compassion, though very mild, but I doubt Sin has any. If she's willing to give us anything, it's because it's not important to her, or she's not aware of how important it is to her. Having us alive may even further a goal for her. Perhaps she needs our souls for something."
 

"We will need to find what Sin really want. And there is only one way to really know. That's why we will need to go back into the library. I will try to interact with every spark of memory and try to understand as much as possible Elayna and try to see what Sin is up to. But before that, we will need to save Tenebrynn, and maybe Ashnar if I good enough at bargaining with her, and learn Laynie's position."

Rinaldo walks next to Ashnar body and look at fareye who have stayed next to his master. "Fareye. I know you are a bright creature. I'll need your help. Me and Tenebrynn will go down meet Sin. Vanitri will wait here. If Sin attack us, I want you to come back to Vanitri, it will be his signal to destroy the Crux and the ones who killed your master. But only if she attack us. If not, we might get her to bring back your master. If you understand what I tell, expand your wing and shout twice."
