[sub]probably.[/sub]” That 'probably' wasn’t going to give them any confidence in the safety of the place. “As for uhm, what I’ve gathered...w-well, its kind of nonsense.” She paused for a moment, a hand nervously scratching her neck. “Like I’m sure you guys know the pretty basic stuff about the Delpithi, the Goddess of the Moon. How her Oceans birthed all life right after humans left the tower?” Lazhira shifted on her feet uncomfortably. “A lot of things say something about the ocean, the goddess tears and sealing a path.” She frowned, poking out her lip and tilting her head in thought. “The rest is just something about the God of Knowledge, Lord Iva just up and leaving, leaving his people tt just sorta do their own thing and how they slowly just sort of left.” She cast a glance towards Leannah. “Uhm, and that’s sort of why I think its a curse. There’s this huuuuuge,” She made a sweeping, overhead motion with her arms. “Stone pillar in the middle of the temple that I think basically says ‘Tears dry, ancient fog obscures. The Illuminator guides.’ Lazhira shook her head. “The Illuminator obviously is the God of Knowledge, but I don’t know what everything else is.” She smiled. “Buuut if you wanna see everything yourself, I might be able to show you a few tricks in not getting lost. Should be easy if you...eerr, someone here can use magic right?” Lazhira gave the group a few moments to respond, however upon seeing most of the travelers collective gazes of both mild curiosity and questions, her enthusiasm dropped slightly. "...uh, well, I can teach ya! Probably. Shouldn't be too hard." The Roma Mob [@ERode][@Pyromania99][@Guy0fV4lor][@PaulHaynek] [hr] Unfortunately for Nick, his attempts at magic would be met with what could only be described as utter failure. Try as he might, it seemed almost as though every time he tried to coax some latent ability as Augusta had described it, it literally felt as though it was slipping right through his fingers. He could feel [i]something[/i] just beyond his grasp. Like trying to grab water. Towards the end of his attempts, he could feel something accumulating, but before it could finished he ceased his attempts. At least it didn’t seem to blow up in his face. Could it do that? Maybe he should be careful. Augusta’s help seemed to be only marginally helpful from here, too. It seemed as long as they remained here nothing was going to bother them for the moment. Octavia though, not content to stay put decided to sit up and start running around. Cautiously, the hound approached Nick and started playfully barking and wagging her tail as though she wanted to play. [hr] Send Feet Pics [@Cu Chulainn][@Crimson Paladin] “Good.” He replied simply, motioning them to follow. “If you’ll follow me to the back, there’s a few things.” Assuming the two followed, Bolcha would lead the two to one of the back rooms of the workshop. While the front was where they seemed to do most of the butchering and handling of the skinning and other parts of the animal, the back seemed to be where most of the other crafting endeavors took place. The room specifically seemed to be used for leather working. “We do a lot of trade with someone from up north that should be arriving soon. She’s been a godsend for us since our troubles started. Preserved meats, alcohol from her homeland, she’s gotten us through a lot, but we have to keep up our end of the bargain too-” Walking into the room, however, it seemed it was already occupied. A fox with fur black as soot, eyes as green emeralds with a tail tipped with fluffy, white fur. In its mouth, was a leather pouch - noticeably containing some leather working tools. It yipped, bolting out the door right by their feet with the belt of tools in its mouth. “...Well don’t just stand there, after it! It’s got some of the tools!”
