P’orihc: "So what exactly is your business?"
Man 1: "With Vranhal's ban on religious practices, religious artifacts have quite a price on them, you see. We transport artifacts between the Lupus settlements and Esthen's territories, and occasionally sell a few trinkets to Vranhal folk."
With the appearance of the two men, there's a slight creaking sound coming from the caravan.
Miimas: "Uh, does anyone here that?"
Man 2: "Probably just the wind, our caravan is really showing its age."

Faren-Wuust: Not a malevolent spirit like the ones used in the rite of passage, but an angry one. Or ones, I suppose, there are quite a few contained in an artifact it feels like.

"No, he is right. There are voices, several, making some sort of chant. A rather gruesome one about punishment while we are at it. Where did you get this artifacts? They are definately magical, but not like the average thing, no. This is serious.
How bad of an idea would it be to communicate with them?"

"Vranhal won't let you do that freely. They're pretty set on stopping that from happening. I don't know why, but it sounds like Ultima is sealed for a reason, probably because it was a danger to those around it. I'm not saying it was the right thing to do, but would you still free them if they're dangerous, if it's a threat to the people around it?"

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 141)
"Hmm..."
>Write a rune spell that operates on the 20 closest spirits, creating a faint point of light, maybe [spirit complexity] [out of] (800) in the direction the spirit is from the compass so it's brighter the more complex the spirit, but with the distance reduced to [distance] [out of] (100), so 1% the distance. Points of light may appear under the paper if they are close enough, since it will be 3 dimensional, but that is okay. Have Riimuk check it, then charge it with 1 mana.

-Flight (Capable of sustained flight. It takes 1 AP to take off [but not land]. Stops Stamina regen during flight, drains 1 stamina at the end of every roll. User specifies Altitude: If user is stumbled while in flight, takes Trauma equal to Altitude) (Altitude climb per turn = Strength) (+Evasion = Altitude)
Kleigg: "Fellows, there is something bound in there with a great deal of magical vitality. Kyeltziv, you say there are voices? What are they saying? Are they imprisoned?"
Man 1: "Please don't be absurd, we don't have anything of that magical nature. If you're hearing voices I'd recommend seeing a doctor."
Ki’stha: "Everyone, get back, now!"
Ki’stha takes several large paces back from the caravan and the group.
P’orihc: "No, he is right. There are voices, several, making some sort of chant. A rather gruesome one about punishment while we are at it. Where did you get this artifacts? They are definitely magical, but not like the average thing, no. This is serious. How bad of an idea would it be to communicate with them?"
"Imprisoned... can't really be sure yet, but it's possible."
You show your shaman medallion to the two men.
"Not your average fool, can tell there's somethin'... Angry in your caravan, best t' be honest here."
At the appearance of the medallion, a single voice sounding like a child speaks.
He is like master! He will save us!
Bind their hands and rip their nails! Rake their flesh and hear their wails!
Pull their teeth and poke their eyes! Slowly cut their tongue that lies!
Molten lead into their throat! Punish them for all they wrote!
Tub of tar just for the liars! Push them in and set the fires!
The rest of the voices join in, repeating the chant with increased enthusiasm while the two men noticeably to wince.
Man 1: ”W-we really don’t know what’s going on!”
Pull their teeth and poke their eyes! Slowly cut their tongue that lies!
Man 2: ”It must’ve been something the bandits did!”
Tub of tar just for the liars! Push them in and set the fires!
A chirop appears on a hill from the north, calling out to your group.
Chirop 1: ”You morons pissed off the spirits! I hope they hit you with a rake!” ____________________

You write your runic spell - > Write a rune spell that operates on the 20 closest spirits, creating a faint point of light, maybe [spirit complexity] [out of] (800) in the direction the spirit is from the compass so it's brighter the more complex the spirit, but with the distance reduced to [distance] [out of] (100), so 1% the distance. Points of light may appear under the paper if they are close enough, since it will be 3 dimensional, but that is okay. <
When it’s done, you have Riimuk check it.
Riimuk: ”Hmm, not bad for a beginner. But, hehe, well, you’ll see. Go ahead and charge it.”
You charge the Compass with 1 Mana and watch your Spirit Map come to life.
Two points of light appear close to the Compass, obviously you and Riimuk. And… That’s all? There should be a lot more lights, considering all the men you saw earlier in the tunnels.

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 142)
"You're a threat of your own will, and only when you need to be, from what I've seen.
Look... My ultimate point is, if you go and rescue Ultima right now in the way you have planned, you'll go against a very powerful city-state, probably defeat them but expend a lot of energy in the process, and free something they've gone through a lot of trouble to seal for a reason. I'm asking you to work with Vranhal. At least try to talk to them. If you approach with sword lowered and me there to help, they should at least stop and listen. If they give a sympathetic ear, you'll almost effortlessly gain more information on your friend, help getting there, probably even help with your conditions! And if they still decide to be pigheaded in the face of diplomacy, well... you tried to be the better man."

Re: Ad Infidium (Roll 142)
"Well, there's a fairly easy way to find out."
> Poke the Spirit Map into the hall, being careful to keep it flat. If it suddenly lights up with a bunch of new spirits, the spirit sensing runes needs line of sight, otherwise, it's probably something more to do with distance. Try turning the piece of paper so that the compass is facing different directions, potentially away from Riimuk and myself.

"Kyeltziv, they reacted favorably to the sight of your medallion. Why don't you use what you can in spiritual knowledge to see what's going on?"

CC will roll tomorrow, since getting to work on time isn't optional.
