The Hunt for the Blue Palace (Yoon Suin/Troika!)

[FitzTheRuke]

Dubi Gan stood by watching.

OOC: Does he have any specialised knowledge about strange magical effects? Do I need to roll something?

 

[Ancalagon]

Unfortunately, there is nothing about this situation that Dubi Gan read about...

Miu looked down the well using his ruby crystal. He wasn't sure if the angle of the sun, the alignment of the stars, or maybe the properties of the stones lining the well, but he saw magic clearer than he had in a long time. At the edge of his vision was the white glow of Frog Froth's blessed sword. Down the well, he could see how a faint amount of magic was leaking from the metal chest - it wasn't magical, but something inside was.

And the water... the water wasn't magical. But there clearly was a creature - or creatures - in the water that had a magical metabolism. It - or they - must have been what was causing those strange ripples!

Trying to figure out a way to break the chain underwater. Because we wouldn’t want to open the chest underwater.

 

[Ancalagon]

Someone strong enough could do it, or with a suitable lever.

You have noticed that the porter seems uncommonly strong...

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"I am sure it is perfectly safe, Pin." Dubi Gan assured the porter, "Please go down and fetch that box. We will, of course, share its value among us."

"Oh yes, please do!" Miu also tells the porter. "I see something magical contained within that chest! Aren't you as curious as I am of its contents?"

 

[wingilbear]

Is there room for 2 in the well?

 

[JustinCase]

Pinpehlu looks scared at first, but then nods. He has no reason to doubt his companions’ words, so the rotund porter takes a deep breath before climbing down to fetch the chest...

 

[Ancalagon]

Is there room for 2 in the well?

It's doable, but it's going to be quite tight. The Porter is... rotund.

We will tie a vine rope around you. We can help pull you back up then.
