Sure. If we're not getting loot, then spells are good.

We try and get a new spell

Story:
You place the Orb of Purity in both hands and kneel before the glowing mechanism. Spirit and Water flow in harmony through your body—calm, clear, alive. The Orb responds instantly, growing warm in your hands as light pours from its center.

Visions swirl through your mind: a healer sheltering the wounded behind a dome of shimmering energy; a spirit guide weaving through darkness to shield a companion’s soul.

The light from the orb wraps around you like a gentle current—and then, knowledge settles within. You’ve unlocked a new spell: Soul Veil.

I think we should talk to the spirits. It's lonely in here, lol. Then activate the mechanism, and go further.

Well, at least if the spirits try to depress our Watery allies we can help them build emotional resilience through therapy.

[Ithillian Turambar]

We talk to the spirits

Story:
You close your eyes and focus inward, but this time, you reach outward as well—toward the echoes you sensed earlier in your meditations. With Spirit at full attunement, the connection forms quickly.

A soft whisper brushes your thoughts, not in words but feelings. You open your eyes and see faint blue silhouettes appear around the chamber: robed figures, long faded from the living world. Elemental Champions from ages past.

One steps forward—a woman with sea-glass eyes and flowing robes—and touches the air before you. A vision floods your mind: her final moments in this temple, unlocking a hidden passage beneath the dais, guarding something too powerful to fall into the wrong hands.

When the vision fades, a new rune glows at the edge of the elemental mechanism.

Outcome of the Choice:
You successfully communed with ancient spirit echoes. They revealed that the elemental mechanism guards a hidden passage sealed long ago—now partially unlocked by the new glowing rune.

---

Next Choices:

1. Activate the elemental mechanism now that the hidden rune has appeared.
2. Search beneath the dais for the sealed passage.
3. Ask the spirits one final question before they fade.
4. Try casting Soul Veil near the spirit echoes.
5. Mark the vision’s details in your notes before proceeding.

[Turin Turambar]

Level 😎. Awesome. 

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

I just want to know what the one final question is, and are we actually Columbo trying to solve a case. 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Fine you can have Aqua Surge Level cool.

The nerd in me wants to document our gained knowledge. I also wanna ask, and see if casting the veil thingy might aid the spirits. Tough choice.

That is how I ended up a dragon one time. 

[Ithillian Turambar]

I completely forgot about that

 

[Ithillian Turambar]

I could not even make out the words on that but Turin checked and said it says, Look upon me in fear a dread.

 

Scary Turin.  Nothing changes lol

There's a story here 👀 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Yes. I used to run a Potion Class as part of the Blue Ajah Harry Potter event. There were ingredients hidden in all the Threads and you could come back and choose what ingredient to use in your potion.

 

Turin chose all of them, which was not an option lol

 

So I turned him into a dragon.

The joke was on them though as I used my dragon abilities to save the day in an epic dragon vs. dragon battle. Some other person got the best line at the end though.

This seems to me to be reasonable 😤

 

Hic sunt dracones!!!

[Ithillian Turambar]

Well there's a collection of words you really want to spell correctly. 

[Ithillian Turambar]

We will do a Columbo and ask just one more question

 

---

Story:
You bow your head toward the fading spirits and reach out with a single, focused thought:
What lies beyond the sealed passage?

The sea-glass-eyed champion turns slightly, her form flickering. A flood of emotion meets your question—urgency, sorrow, and resolve. Then comes an image: a chamber of still water, glowing with ancient glyphs. At its center rests a relic—a core of pure elemental essence, guarded by ancient wards and tested only by those worthy in both Water and Spirit.

The champion lifts her hand once more… and then fades like mist under sunlight. The echoes dissolve, but the weight of their message remains.

[Aarenis]

I'm feeling either the search or the activate the mechanism option. Anyone got a preference here?

Gotta leave a "cheers" for their help. Then we can do the things.

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

Yeah respect is paramount when dealing with beings that might haunt you for the rest of your natural life.
