[QUOTE="megamania, post: 1246045, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 114 “The Closet and the Glass Orb” “This place is awesome” replies Belinda as she moves down the hallway with no fear. Though it has been sitting for a long time (1000’s of years) the building seems intact and safe to walk through. This hallway has dusty pictures of various humans sitting very proper and disciplined. Cosa tries to read the words below but can not make it out. She believes these are schoolmasters or honored teachers however. The ever-blowing silt has found it’s way even into the heart of the large building. The light is dim or nearly nonexistent. Logan, as a dwarf, doesn’t seem to mind. Mania calls up his psionic power to create light from his eyes that allows him to see and the others. “Where to?” asks the hairy dwarf. “Let’s keep going some. I’m sure what we have here and even if it is a good idea being here. We are getting the rest we need but may be trapped within the place now. I’m sure Minscar will surround the building with undead. He will find a way in eventually or starve us before we leave it.” Cosa replies. Mania is becoming ever nervous now. He hadn’t really thought about their position or condition until now. Everyone is naked and his eyes point out anything he is directly looking at. He tries not to look at anyone, especially Belinda and Cosa. The four of them poke around and find several long hallways with twenty plus doors each. Carefully opening them, they decide these were dormitory rooms for students. The group then reaches a different hallway. The rooms here are larger and they peer into them. Even in partial ruin, the rooms are obviously better than the others. The furniture is more complete and in a better condition in general. Cosa searches about using her skills and sense of where things are kept in secret. She finds one or two sheets of paper or books by doing this. However, all of the books are so badly decayed that she can not read them or gather any sense of their purpose from them. Moving further down they find a small closet room. There is a black obsidian globe built into the wall. Cosa touches it trying to decipher its purpose. “Where to?” she hears in her mind. “”OH!” She exclaims. Startled she steps back and stars at the globe further. Mania redirects his light onto the globe once more. “What is it?” “It spoke to me…to my mind I think. It’s …alive?” She squats down before it to get a better look at it. Belinda notes they are staying in the closet and backtracks to them. “Did you find something?” she asks. “This globe of dark glass spoke to my mind. It asked where to. What do you make of it?” Belinda moves to her side and peers at it. Jenner once spoke of Globes of severtude. Sometimes called Guardians. When someone committed a terrible crime against the city and it’s people, his or her mind would be placed into an obsidian globe. It retained its psionic abilities but lacked the freewill. “Slaves!” exclaimed Mania with new insight. “Slaves or punishment…it was widely accepted and practiced in the old times. This globe has a purpose.” Cosa smiles and touches it again. “Where to?” Cosa thinks supplies. A light glow emits from within the globe and the three people in the small closet disappear with a soft pop. Five minutes later Logan returns wondering where everyone went. He notes the footsteps and signs of activity within the small room. “Hurmmm where did they get to?” He walks in and looks about. His darkvision shows an empty room except for a glass globe built into the wall. Giving it no thought he leaves the room and looks about further. [/QUOTE]
