FINAL INVESTIGATION

FINAL INVESTIGATION


[It is time.

The chill which had come from the now-open, unnumbered room has now begun to seep into the rest of the Depths. It seems to call to the Titled, beckoning them to come forward and to face whatever is now beyond that door.

Fie and Rubedo were right - that room was, indeed, the exit to the Depths. And at the end of the staircase is a door, which the Skeleton Key can very easily open. A few seconds later, the door at the top of the stairs opens.

And the city within the cave below is revealed to them, as they stand on a platform high above the ground.



The ruin still looks as new as it did the day it was built. The air here is cold mountain air, though the only light seems to come from one massive building carved into the very rock of the cave. There is nothing coming from the mouth of the cave save for snow.

On the door they just came through is a single parchment of paper which reads "LEINALZIND OUTER DISTRICT." Each building, they will find, is labelled similarly. Which means there is only one conclusion.

Welcome to the city of Leinalzind, Titled. And good luck, teams.

You will need it.]

[So like a time of great turbulence, then... It's a little familiar to her.]

Are we talking the good kind of change or the bad kind of change?
zephyranthe: (Oh?)

[?]

Sure. Go for it.
zephyranthe: (Dunno what else to say.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Huh.]

What's the emperor's name?
zephyranthe: (Looks like something's there.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Welp, that's that.]

Yup. They're stuck here with us now, too. I haven't seen them in awhile though.
zephyranthe: (This doesn't look good.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[???]

I don't get what you just said.

[But okay whatever, surely it'll never come up again, right??]

It depends on what it is.
zephyranthe: (This doesn't look good.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
...So you want to be killed? Right now?

[Assuming she's totally read the situation right, anyways.]
zephyranthe: (This doesn't look good.)

[She's got a hand on a dagger, and her eyes are only on what's left of a monster they all had a hand in slaying. It's a pitiful sight to see, and maybe death's the only thing left for something like this, if they can't save it. But still. She pauses.]

Sorry, I can't make that decision on my own. The others probably have questions they want to ask... and we're all in this together. Once everything's done and over with, then we'll see what to do with you guys then.

Hopefully you can sit tight for a little longer.
zephyranthe: (Looks like something's there.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shoosh shoosh, it's okay Nord guy. Maybe they all need a headpat too no.]

I have one last thing to ask, too. D'you know what a Snow-Throat is?
zephyranthe: (Dunno what else to say.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[gross man she ain't dealing with that]

Weird that they needed a reminder, then.

[Although that person could've just been captured from elsewhere and taken here, too. ...Actually uh. Does the not-dragon corpse still have hands sticking out of it because she might. Compare the handprint on the page. For a match.

Yup.]

zephyranthe: (Let's go.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Welp, can't say she didn't try.]

I'll see if I can come back with the others.

[OKAY let's get that last evidence point for now though. Let's try to escape the cave?]
zephyranthe: (Oh?)

[She isn't running because she learned from Jr.'s stunt that you should never just go running into entrances without checking first. But when she touches the barrier, is it just solid? It won't shock her or anything like that, right.]
zephyranthe: (Got it.)

[personal profile] zephyranthe 2017-06-16 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cool beans. Is there anything else around that's suspicious?]
