Flying behind Rockin' on the broom, a large, tall flagpole came into view. Landing, Rockin' showed them a strange green glowing stone. So that's what the pieces looked like. Good to know. 

Back at the first room, Code stood by a table, and congratulated everyone on their success. Code said the usual "Mysterious Good Guy" stuff. Your questions will be answered in time, What I can tell you, yada yada. Much of the same. Ysran stood with his hand on his hip, waiting for his little speech to end, when Code said to touch the Crucible piece. Eh, what's the worst that could happen? Reaching out, as his finger touched the stone, visions flooded his mind. Images of Horrid creatures raced through his mind. He'd been exposed to the Eldritch before, but even then, it was quite the mental attack to him.

Squeezing his eyes closed, he began to mentally fight off the monsters. He knew they weren't real. They posed no threat to him. They were just there to instill fear. He thought back to earlier times. These creatures were nothing compared to what he had faced. He opened his eyes. The room was silent. He had won. Setting his hand back down, he could feel the fear becoming a part of him. Just like his other spells. Was this the power of the Crucible? Armed with a new spell, he listened intently to what Code had to say. Something about a pocket dimension. Isn't that how Bags of Holding work? Huh. He'd have to look into that. [i][color=662d91]"Right. So, where to next? Are we going through another portal? And do you have anything we could use? Like potions, or Medicines of sorts? Perhaps a way to restore mana?"[/color][/i]
