X5: To the Temple of Death - IC

[Rhun]

Aram tosses the diamonds to the cleric. "Keep them safe then, my friend, as they are worth more than their weight in gold."

 

[Walking Dad]

"This is true for most diamonds, by what I have heard. Do we have some diamond dust, too?" Girgal asks.

 

[Rhun]

Aram shrugs and smiles at Girgal. "We could crush one."

 

[Rhun]

Aram packs his gear and prepares for the day. Once that is complete, he moves to inspect the flying carpet. "So, time for a magic carpet ride?"

 

[Walking Dad]

Girgal

"I'm ready, I think."

 

[Rhun]

"Very good." Aram sits down on the magic carpet, legs crossed. He focuses on the rug, and in a clear, low voice says "Hrollan!"

"Oh my," Jex mutters as Aram attempts to activate the strange rug. The shadowcaster steps onto the unusual conveyance with Aram. "Here goes nothing, I guess."

[sblock=ooc]You could leave Ripclaw behind for now, or Girgal could ride him on the carpet.[/sblock]
The strange carpet lifts off the ground, and Aram directs it to heads towards the temple. It's a strange ride, but steady. You look down at the forest and feel the rush of air as you proceed.

As you near the site of the temple, you can't help but notice that the airship is no longer moored to the tower. Instead, it's visible in the distance, heading south and away.

The carpet seems faster, so you have a choice ...

Jex frowns as the situation comes to light. Eissun tries to float along with the carpet, but it's moving fairly quickly for the poor elemental... "Uh, Aram? Is the dagger maybe telling you anything on where to go now? The temple or the airship? It might be best to just go after the airship, as the temple won't be moving. Or at least, I hope it won't be moving..."

 

[Rhun]

Aram removes the crystal dagger from his belt and concentrates on it, hoping to get an indication of their next move.
