*Analyzes the magical signature*

@Etcetera

*The pyramid's sides slowly start folding down, sending a pillar of energy straight up into the air that appears to be green and blue spiraling around each other*

Myriad Reality

*Pours the blood from the vial*

@Fractured

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Extracts the magic from the vial*

@Etcetera

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*My arm becomes surrounded by the apparition of the arm of a guardian, which absorbs the power in the same manner as it was initially captured, then points into the hole and unleashes the power into the hole*

@Multifarious

*Once all the substances are inserted, red, blue, and green lines glow in the floor that go from the tiles to the pyramid, representing blood, power and magic respectively, and the wind then becomes accompanied with a slowly-setting green fog and surges of blue electricity. I hold the device straight up in the air and begin playing audio which sounds like Graveny's voice, speaking a language unknown and lost to time*

*Looks upward*

@Etcetera

A small hole opens up within the center of the pressure plates after a moment, and I speak up to be heard over the wind*
Go ahead and insert the substance from your vial! Be careful not to insert the actual vial, however!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

I see. Very well.
*Walks to the plate*

@Etcetera

*When we are all standing on the plates at the same time, beams of light shoot up around each of us from the crack between the plate and the normal floor tiles around it, and a massive gust of wind picks up in the room that is visible yet unfelt within the confines of the light*

Why do we not break the pyramid?

@Etcetera

The magic it is protected with is elaborate and carefully crafted over countless millennia. Not only is it dangerous, but it would also ruin our chance of getting in.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Then it isn't in any physical form here?

@Etcetera

It is.
*Points to the pyramid*
Within that pyramid, the body is stored in stasis. He's in this very room with us.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

What is the significance of the ritual?

@Etcetera

It is, by design, the only means by which he left his original body available to be accessed.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Multifarious>

Is anyone aware of what material this is made from?

@Etcetera

The material is nothing special. I believe it's basalt. Why?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

*Takes it and moves toward the pyramid, avoiding the zombie remains*

@Fractured

*Nods and turns to Acacia*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Walks over and pats you on the shoulder*

@Multifarious

*Hands you the power vial*
You'll have to take this one. His voice obviously requires special application, since it's not containable within a vial.
*Pulls out a handheld device and walks over to my tile*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Not doing that is good by me.

@Fractured

Understood, glad we clarified that.
*Hands you the blood vial*
