## Episode 43: Spellbound
Date: Tyros, 11th of Manaros
We wake up within the last stop.
Neil forces us to the general store for oil flasks and 100 ft of rope.
He grabs 7 lbs`trickle dust` for 175 gold.
Noxx funds 100g of the purchase.
Bit purchases the `coin of returning` for 80g.
Each time you flip it it returns to the users pocket.
If I keep the coin in my line of sight, it does not disappear.
Locke pulls out the cube and examines it.
8 degrees Celsius this may be important who knows.
Locke investigates the cube.
He breaks out the tools to try and fuck with it.
Camilla and Bit go to the mages guild and make their way to the library.
We start scribing books for the guild for 10g a day.
There is a table full of translation texts.
Bit got a book on the history of the yo-yo.
Camilla on mushrooms.
Bit finds a book on the language of the Sangri Elves.
This is the language that was written in the basement,
of the Red Balance cellar that no one could figure out.
Neil is getting paid 10g to help out around the bar for the day.
Locke is still messing around with the cube.
He gets a good bump and feels like progress has been made.
A pin clicks and the whole cube falls open in his lap.
What is revealed looks like an atom with metal rings.
Gyroscopic in nature and at the epicenter there is a bright light.
This item barely floats above his hand, and all the hair on his arm stands.
Locke recognizes a familiar sensation, as oracalcum is certainly in the device.
He grabs one of the rings, stopping the device.
As it comes to a stop, it produces a 10 digit number.
99543 12133.
The number is explained to resemble coordinates.
However we don't have a map to determine the coordinates.
> I am assuming that the device points to something.
> Would love to figure out where the coordinates are.
He tries again to see if it spits out different coordinates.
It does: 00087 54366 being the coordinates this time.
Locke puts the device back in the box.
> We don't have to roll to open the box again.
Camilla goes to talk to someone in the mage guild that is also inscribing with us.
He is managing to do 9 books at one time with his skills.
The yo-yo was made by Arcanist Yosif Yotametie, in 13,498 BE (Before Eternity).
It was meant to be a military projectile weapon.
However never caught on, but did catch on with the children.
He was disgusted of the use of his weapon as a children's toy.
However an old cache was found and they do exist in Valeria.
We then return to the Last Drop as nightfall crests.
There are a lot of people coming in for the festivities.
Matilda comes back from her task of getting quotes to put in a basement for the bar.
Half size wooden: 2500g
Full size wooden: 4000g
Half size stone: 3500g
Full size stone: 5500g
Full size stone gets you the expert goblin crew that will finish the job in 5 days.
> Lead blocks scrying magic.
We begin chatting at a table as Noxx attends to the tavern.
We exchange our days experiences and Locke explains the gyroscope he found.
Neil is putting forward a great performance knocking peoples socks off.
I approach a half elven man alone at a table after we have a short mental conversation.
Finest elven vintage the valerian vassal wine.
Eldric is the half elven man in disguised.
He says the name Cache.
He speaks of it in a reminicing manner.
I helped build something incredible.
Apparently we were visionaries.
Do you know how rare you are.
A survivor. Magic hums with the echo of something.
Cornerstone of a process that could change everything.
And yet the memories are scattered arent they.
Not quite gone but elusive like whispers in the dark.
Trauma can fray the edges of the mind especially when done by magical means.
Perhaps it was a mercy.
The town didn't die.. it shifted.
Something went wrong yes, but wrong isn't always meaningless.
What happened in Cache was the first step to a brighter stronger future.
One that needs you.
He sets something on the table but does not reveal it.
As he lifts his hand he reveals a familiar piece of octagonal oracalcum he gave the king as tribute.
He has higher duties now, lots of secrts in his care.
When I'm ready to remember -- just know I cannot undo what has already transpired.
A man will lose himself trying to correct the past.
Should I ever want to return to a higher purpose, I need only to reach out.
He pulls out a piece of scratch paper and writes something on it and gives it to me.
An encantation written in elvish: Zerith Varr
I know translates to: To find and seek
You need not tangle yourself in the mistakes of your crew.
Everything in my body feels dark, I feel like the memories are right there.
Information is certainly being withheld.
We make it to bed that night, Camilla and Locke a bit drunk.
Everyone is beat as it was a long celebratory night.
Doug and Noxx have a heart to heart.
Noxx accepts Doug into the Last Stop family.
Doug sheds genuine tears of happiness.
As we sleep Noxx hears a low hum from our room.
Neil is laying on the ground eyes wide open emitting a purple light cast to the ceiling.
Neil lays in unexplainable bliss.
He sees his own hands as he sits up.
His hands are translucent in this place.
He has no idea where he is.
A beautiful night sky is present however the floor is white like hes on a cloud.
Two hands are felt caressing down his arms.
They are warm, and feel safe for some reason.
A woman's voice with intense reverb says 'little spark'
'Child of breath and tide. Do you hear it?'
'The sea beyond all seas stirs once more'
'Something ancient uncoils beyond the ...'
The sky above begins to shift to a pink/purple hue.
'The skies will tremble the veil will crack'
'And from the wound int he world the deep will bleed.'
'A quake shall come not of stone or flame but of memory forgotten'
'And power unchained, from its tremor the eye will open the sleeper will stir'
The single star turns yellow and opens like an eye, with multiple pupils appearing.
Each star begins to follow.
'You litte spark, you are both the lock and the key, a whisper in the dark or the roar that answers it'
The hands then lift for a moment.
A brief flash.
The gaze of the endless eyes are uncomfortable.
Then comes a tear in the sky above as a single long tendril reaches out.
Not at Neil or anything in particular.
It just seems to endlessly stretch, as if it is trying to grab everything there is.
Another voice sounds as the dream fades:
Ferrick: 'Life is a storm my young friend'
