Keratia: Tales of the Arisen One

"Well, yeah...but considering they're turned into gemstones, they could be--Wooooaaahh!" Sylvia stopped her answer half way after she took the gem from Shortfang and she immediately sensed the magic. She looked at the ring and read the inscription with wide eyes. When Pylia asked, she asked in return, "Wait. You don't see this?" She then told them, "This gem is definitely the heart. The ring's inscription reads, 'Immortal body to serve. Loyalty beyond death. To wear the Bond, and share one's heart'," She then commented, "I don't know how to feel about this,"

On the one hand, it was kind of exciting, because this meant that they could get a lot of help from the robot. But on the other hand, she knew that this robot was once a person...who may be dead and in indentured servitude.

She then asked pensively "Seems safe to wake up now since I'm wearing the ring...but, is it really okay...?"

Sylvia told Pylia, "Apparently someone's heart was changed into a gemstone that would power this thing, and the robot was once...flesh before the metal was placed on him," When Shortfang mentioned the ring, she accepted the ring, and answered Pylia and Shortfang, "I'll try wearing it then," She then placed the ring around her finger.

She then asked Shortfang, realizing something, "Oh yeah! Shortfang, do you still have the red gem from the skeleton's dagger?" Maybe that red gem was a heart.

When Sylvia flipped through the book, and realized what the notes meant, her eyes widened, and she felt sick. She groaned "Oh god...When they said heart, they meant it literally!" How the robot was created did remind Sylvia of those robots from Doctor Who with the ninth doctor now...

She stood up, from the crouching position she had been in to examine the robot, and answered Pylia, "There may be a heart in this room. I don't think it would hurt to look around and see if we can find it,"

Sylvia also became stunned, not sure if she could believe what she was seeing. This body, no, metal, it looked someone made a combination of R2D2 and C3PO. She nodded to Pylia in response and answered "Yeah. I saw this in my dream. It looks like a robot," She then realized that Pylia and Shortfang might not know what a robot is, and she explained, "Robots are like...golems, only they're made from metal technology instead of clay, and are powered by something like electricity,"

She then realized out loud, "It needs its heart...! The heart is the power source for this robot," However, what would this robot do if they powered it up...? Judging from the axe, its clearly able to fight. But was that its function? Was it a 'Kill All Humans' machine? Plus, they had no idea as to what its Artificial Intelligence is like.

Looking at the robot she noted the emblem on its tattered robe and she asked Pylia and Shortfang, "Do you guys recognize that emblem at all?" She wanted to make sure that they weren't going to wake up something that was going to attack them.

Sylvia watched as the gemstones glowed, forming an eerie eye, before opening to show a staircase. She nodded in response to Shortfang's caution, and she had her staff at the ready, should something pop out and attack. She blinked at the sight of the green flame and the room that was illuminated by it. She listened as Pylia explained what the green flame was, and after she did Sylvia couldn't help but wonder if the green light in the dream was actually from the figure, or if it was just a reflection from the continuous flames here. She warned Pylia and Shortfang, "I think whatever we're looking for...is very, very close,"

She decided to look around and see if there was anything else that she may have seen in the dream, or if there were any immediate dangers in this room. She noticed the strange foliage in the room thanks to Pylia and Shortfang. She too approached cautiously, and looked. After hearing Pylia, she expected to see a skeleton...

Sylvia's Perception

When the group reached the door room, Sylvia would try to meditate for thirty minutes and regain the ki. She felt tired and she hoped to regain some ki so she could be ready for what was behind the door. When Pylia mentioned her clothes, she answered, “Yeah, I feel bad for getting these clothes ruined, too. Though it’s kinda hard to get myself to wear that other outfit, considering where I found it,” Sylvia shuddered at the memory of taking the first outfit off of the skeleton in the cave she first woke up in. She then commented to Pylia, “I’m thinking of getting another outfit in Gransys, so that this one doesn’t get too destroyed,”

Soon enough the our passed and everyone including herself was ready. She nodded at the suggestion of eating a goodberry, and did so before she walked up to the door with the gems she had and Shortfang handed to her. She answered Pylia, with her hands hovering over the grooves, “Ready,”

As soon as everyone said they were ready, she put the gemstones into the grooves

Sylvia was a little scared when she noticed that the eyes were about to fall, but thankfully, Shortfang was there and he was able to catch them. She smiled and answered Shortfang, "Nice catch!" When Pylia came over to them and made her suggestion, Sylvia nodded in agreement, "Yeah. That sounds like a great idea. I think we could all use it," She then offered, "Let me know if you guys need a healing potion. I've got the two from the bandits in my backpack," She would then lead the way back to the door with the grooves for the gemstones.

Sylvia let out a "Woah!" as she quickly pulled her leg back before the skeleton could lay it's crackling hand on her. She noticed that the skeleton was about to flee again, but thankfully, Shortfang stopped that. She nodded to Shortfang and commended "Nice job!" Before she could continue, she noticed something fall in the corner of her eye. She jumped startled when she heard the splat and felt some liquid splatter onto her. After looking at the bodies, then the ceiling, then back to the bodies, she realized that the giant centipedes chasing her just tried to pursue her via the ceiling, and falling to get to her just killed them.

That was...pretty ironic, and kinda funny.

She turned her attention back to the skeleton and she muttered "I guess problems do solve themselves," She then decided to attack. She used her quarterstaff to hit it, and then tried to use an axe kick to knock it down into the ground. She didn't want to knock the skeleton into the gap between the floors, considering it had both jewels in its eye sockets.
