Level 9 Sectonia (holding 3 level up) - (46/90)
[b]Location:[/b] The Crossroads
[b]Word Count:[/b] Below 750[/center]

With a bit of time to breath, with the stronger enemies not around them anymore or not even giving the seekers some attention, the group could branch out and explore a bit. Sectonia went with the group that went to investigate the humming in the chasm, with Nadia and the others eventually pinpointing the source of the humming. While the others did ask Sectonia to help them find the humming map maker, Sectonia took that message a bit differently than they were hoping. Instead of directly looking for the man... bug, Sectonia instead summoned what antillions she could and sent them to scavenge the area for anything that would be useful, perhaps even clear the area of weaklings a bit to make their trip a bit easier if they figured out which way they wanted to go.

Her antillions made short work of some of the enemies here with their basic patterns with their ranged magic. And if any antillion fell? Sectonia could just summon another one, but this wasn't an issue for her fire ones, only the ice ones had any sort of trouble due to their low hp. All in all, while Sectonia observed her little summons dealing with what they could and bring back what they found, Sectonia all in all found a few spirits of the weak monsters here, and some 'geo' which she was later told was used as currency down here. Considering it was found almost everywhere, even in rocks, coming by it wouldn't be that hard. This also did make her wonder though if she would need a lot of Geo to do anything though, as a currency that was easy to get wouldn't have too much value...

Still, she had all these spirits, none of which looked all that useful. Crushing them herself would be a bit of a waste however considering what she had for the others to use. As Nadia and Therion looked over the map they had just bought, Sectonia flew over and looked at the map as well, towering over the two. [color=92278f]"Not much of a map, but some intel is better than none."[/color] Sectonia said. She then got Nadia's attention. [color=92278f]"I have some spirits here that might do better crushed, Would you care to crush them while wearing this?"[/color] Sectonia said, pulling out her Symbol of Avarice, the weird mimic hat looking very grotesque. [color=92278f]"Should you or any other of the others, as long as you are my minions, can use this freely if you require. It saps a small bit of life force, but allows you to gain much more powerful items from spirits you crush. The items tend to be tailored for whoever crushes them as well, so its a good way to power up."[/color] 

Sectonia then glanced at Ganondorf and the Koopa Troop. [color=92278f]"The other royals will need to pay to use such a privilege however."[/color]

With her symbol of avarice explained, Sectonia waited for the rest of the group to come to a conscientious on where they should go. Sectonia herself voted for the Basement, as it was the only clearly visible thing on the map. But she would be easily swayed to one path or another as she ultimately didn't care where they all went, since they would need to handle all locations at some point anyway.

[hider=items gained] 82 geo, a couple Gruzzer / Cave Cricket spirits to be crushed by Nadia or whoever wants to test the symbol of avarice, first come first serve.[/hider]
