Re: Wonders Investigation
The plat-clink sound of someone stepping in march into the building announces the arrival of Steiner, his knees raise high as he steps, his cloak bellows from the airy wake of his passage. As they come into sight, Stein's hazel eyes scans the room to take in those gathered.
Without a word, he will then move to join Tim where they are perched, upon reaching them he will greet them with a shoulder smack "AH! still stuffing your face eh?" Without waiting for a reply, though it is clear Timmy did not intend to offer one, "What have we learned?"
Tim gives a low glance to those gathered before responding "Not the most friendly lot, a bit rude and intrusive, but no surprise there. We have 10 artifacts yet pursued and there are about 12 in total... 12 of those with the green star as well, leading some here to think it will be an artifact to each of us. They believe they just uncovered the command word, spelled I-n-c-a-n-t-a-t-o but the pronunciation is undetermined, and each artifact seems to be in a direction of the compass except the four cardinal directions and each seems tied to a language each... two of which are secret languages. The two pursued currently, the boots and the armor, can be ignored and use the languages stiefel and steelheart."
Stein scanned the ground beneath him pensively as he listened, looking back to tim as they finished and offered them a nod and then spoke in turn as if prompted. Just as he begins to speak, an insect crawls across his face, from under the top of his helm to into the side of it. "There is a small army gathered about and in the volcano, there may be more too, even deeper as the volcano houses a path to the underdark. The magma can be drained down into it, as well, it seems. As the magma is being supported by walls of force within the caverns to prevent just that. the many fire creatures use wands of magic to reinforce these walls and the same prevented me from getting a better read of what fuels the magic in the magma. Though, A well armed fire giant and a contingent of other fiery creatures stand guard of these walls and tunnels." Giving Tim's shoulder another smack, he we then turn to the group, but still directs his words towards tim "Is there a plan?"
cleaning his fingernails, tim answers "splitting up, either as individuals or as small groups, to gather the artifacts."
