"Thank you Warden, it's tremendously appreciated. I know it's a lot to ask of you and Teleiat, but we wouldn't be here asking unless there was a lot at stake. It is the same construct as the rumors you heard, from what we can tell the Second was working on this powerful Light construct and there was an accident of some kind, next thing you know it's marched over to Vranhal and made itself our problem. Not much info, but maybe it will help.
Then if that's all, we'll take our leave. Thank you again for lending an ear."
> Stand up if we're done, head out with the others.


Gafiir gives some noise of acknowledgement, doesn't seem like much of a talker. With the meeting over, so your team of four gets up and leaves, with Linna giving a short bow to the Warden before following.

Now outside out of containment facility, standing in the large open paved area in the center of the city, you have a little under a day to kill.

Linna: "Now that we're out of there, I have news from Vranhal. The Second, and Esthen, reached out to Vranhal and proposed a cooperative effort to bring Lucida 'under control' and to establish a jointly-controlled facility to store the weapon. A sort of relationship-building thing, I guess. Elizabeth declined the proposal, and now the Second is all uppity about the whole thing and is saying that Vranhal had a hand in the incident. Things are getting worse, a few threats thrown around, that kinda thing."

"Ugh, dammit, really? Of course they would now, after we've managed to talk with Lucida.
Dammit, that's actually a pretty reasonable course of action from them and in any other situation, this would be good news. But now they probably just think Vranhal wants to weaponize Lucida for their own purposes. Damn, this is why I hate politics.
*sigh*
Alright, not much we three can do about that, no use worrying for now. Linna, did Lord Elizabeth send you with any orders, for us or for you? I'm guessing we're just to keep working on Emiel, but what about you?"

Linna: "Lord Elizabeth wants to make sure Emiel gets back in one piece, so I was ordered to follow you guys around and signal for reinforcements if we need it. Oh, you guys too. I mean, she wants you guys to get back in one piece too. Something about revolutionaries doing revolutionary things. Saw some damaged towers in Magusalto as I flew over, maybe that was them."

"That's a little bit of a relief.

Really? You mean you think we'll be up here for that long? How will we pass the time?

...You could tell me about how you came to join the Spiral. I know not everyone gets picked up like I was."

>Gravitate to a comfortable position. If there are extra bags of clothes or straw, set them down for the long haul, though we will probably have to steal out for food soon.


You settle down into a comfortable position, piling some packages of uniforms into a cushioning seat and settle down, Tabi using a crate and a few uniforms for a short chair. With the lamp between the two of you, you can't help but get the feeling of camping out in the wilderness, living off the land.

Tabi: "I used to be a student here, in Magusalto. Studied hard, wrote my papers, passed my tests. Never was as skilled at magic as the others, but I got by on my grades and studies. Got noticed by a dean, had me work under him for a few years, got to see what life was like for those who were top-notch students that made it big. Pretty sure he liked me.

Well, he was rotten. Deans, admins, senior professors, all of them, they've got a big say in what goes on in Magusalto. How funding is spent, what laws should be passed. Using their power to their own advantage, turning the universities into a grindstone for students to churn out money and research that can be snatched up. They're all... Corrupted. I tried to write a paper about it, get some news out there, but they caught me. Threw me in an anti-magic cell to rot. I was in there for months, maybe even a year, and then the power just, went out. Managed to break myself out, and then I ran into Bayfri, and I was a member of the Spiral after that."

You get up and hug the chirop. She stiffens on contact, but slowly loosens up, eventually wrapping her arms around you as well.

The fur on her head is soft, and she’s thinner than you expected, probably a chirop thing so they’re light enough to be flight-capable.

You transfer 20 mana from the regenerating stone into an empty stone, and do a bunch of other mana moving around.

"Common for drakes t' have one of these, or they rare t' come 'cross?"

Madenuuk: ”They will occasionally have them. Not too rare, but not too common.”

Looks like you have enough space now, so you go straight for the core components, carefully chipping away the yellow crystal until you’ve extracted the memory stone, focus stone, and release.

???: ”Heheh, right this way.”

He leads you into an alleyway, takes several, many, twists and turns before arriving at cellar door in the shadows of the claustrophobic space. opening it up and gesturing for you to enter.

You do, and after descending a series of steps, find yourself in a large basement with tables and shelves of various magic odds and ends.

Wares Dealer: ”Mana stones, focuses, releases, conduits, fully built constructs. Looking for something specific?”

She slowly drops her arms and you release her from the hug.

Tabi: "Yeah. Get an idea of the layout of the building, too."

Her voice is a little more somber, lacking the usual chipper attitude.

"Awesome. Could teach you two Power Flow later if you want. It's a useful emergency skill, especially with your natural magic ability.
Alright Linna, let's go work up a sweat. I mostly want to work on footwork and weapon handling if that's good."
