As Jenny jerked to try and get to her companion she felt Riley hold her back? "It's okay, don't worry." she smiled encouragingly at the heroine "Hm~ such potnetial in you. Let's see..." the reached out and gently touched Sirs crystal, causing a bright flash to erupt across the library blinding the girls!

Jenny quickly turned to see what happened expectign the worst! Yet sir was fine? His faint blue light now brighter than ever before "Whoever made him certainly has skill, but that not what makes this one special." slowly Sir was let down as she curiously looked over himself, his previous engravings now had a faint glow of magic around them his hands now much more swiftly shapeshifting.

"The ward room? But you just came here." he droppped his hand playfully... one snapping off only to be picked up right moments after and reattached "She's come here to find her, please Azreal." the archmage glanced to Riley and sighed lightly "The Ward room is downstairs, near the demonology class closer to the stairs. You probably seen..."

"Though there's one problem... I have NO idea how she got inside there." the statement only causing blank blinks from the two heroines.

Jenny picked up her little companion and inspected him. Something had changed that was for sure he seemed empowered somehow. Jenny frowned at Azreal's statement that he had no idea how she got there. How do we get there Grandmaster? Also... Grandmaster someone told me if I find my sister I will invite dissater around the area.. is it true?"

"Maybe... I dunno." *smack!* Jennys eyes shot wide as Riley smacked the grandmaster lightly with a hefty looking book! For a brief moment the heroine gut completely dropped "Ow~ Riley! Why'd you do that?~" the showgirl leaned foward with a frown "Do you know what kind of hell she's been through to meet you? Come on, talk properly."

The grand mage gently brushed against the impact area, before his burning gaze turned to Jenny "I've sealed the Ward room away after the incident. Not even I have access to it." he paused lightly "However there should be a way to enter, long ago I had a demonologist infiltrate the chamber. Try tracing his footsteps, I believe that's how Lina got inside."

"As for other question, well~ there's been a surge of power as Lina left my good graces. I suspect she used her own soul to power the ward and take leeser control of it." he sighed deeply a hefty amount of arcane flames escaping his mouth "You do know something about the wards... right?"

It was as she feared. "Not enough Azreal I don't know enough." Jenny looked to the grandmaster of the academy. "I know I can probably free her but..... it might cause a disaster." Jenny looked at the mage once more. "Tell me all you can about the wards Azreal please." Jenny looked hopeful and got a naught twinkle in her eye. Moving forward she got as close as she could without hurting herself and whispered to the mage. "Ill even pose naked for one of your panting is if you want."

The flames ignited brighter at the offer as she stepped back likely "Well I wouldn't mind that~" he rubbed the back off his head, his skull seemingly smiling "The simple version is this - the ward keeps the evil bad guys away. Not just from here, but to a lesser extent away form Kings Coast. If you'll remove Lina chances are you'll deactivate the last ward, giving the darkness free reign." he got back to his fairly impossing composure fairly quickly "However you seem to have gift from someone special."

Azreal opened his palm to reveal Ezalor given orb "You do not even know what this is do you?" he gently floated it back to the heroines hands "Looks like Ezalor put a lot of faith in you."

The nudged towards the orb "With that you can reactivate the wards once more." he showed the heroine three bony arcane-infused fingers and lowered one at each ward mentioned Three in total, one here. One under the church and one in the mines."

"Reactivate all three and you'll stop the 'disaster' that you kickstarted. Not to mention I think the angels would appreciate it."

"I-I understand...." Jenny looked to the arcane mage before turning to Riley and spoke. "Don't go anywhere Azreal I have a promise to keep." Jenny threw the mage a wink before turning to Riley. "Well have to enter the ward room using the hidden message that jerk left us." Jenny looked up to Riley and smiled faintly. "If you want to stay here where its safe. I understand."

"Haa~? What sort of offer is that? Ofcourse I'm coming along. You'd get lost somewhere along the way" Riley playfully stuck her tongue out and grinned "Besides, the nearest harvest hour won't be around for quite some time. Jack, Alice are tame. There's hardly anything less to worry about..." the top hat loving girl looked to the exit where the unfortunate puppet lied "Minus the puppets"

"I'll be here then... alone. With the books..." Azreal spoke up, looming over the girls eavesdropping on the conversation. The two girls looked to the flaming skull archmage, damnit for a 6 to 7 feet tall burning incarnation of magic... he didn't sound or act the part!

"Come visit me whenever. I'm fine, reallly..." he slowly began levitating kicking up numerous writings all around him as they returned to swirling around the center of the library.

Jenny retrieved her objects and looked up at the Grandmaster. "Thank you so much Azreal how can I ever repay you?" Hopefully the mage didn't say something like go save the world. Getting her answer Jenny gathered up her companions and waved to the grandmaster of the academy. His story what little she had seen of it was tragic. He would pretty much be forever alone no one would be able to get close to him as he was. All he had was his books but then again if Jenny saved the day maybe he could teach again.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

The Grand Mage turned to her curiously "Oh? Well~ um... I don't think I really helped you, Jenny." he knew her name? The trio were about to leave when Azreal spoke up once more "After you free your sister. Use Ezalors gift, I'd appreciate it." Jenny could inquire why or to what effect, but it didn't seem like something Azreal wanted to mention in great detail.

The group now with one of them being that extra bit stronger were free to proceed onwards "Told you he was a sweatheart." Riley smiled to Jenny "Now how will we get inside the Ward room?"

 

[ranger]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny paused at the doorway. "You did help me Azreal. You spared a silly mage and his succubus lover. You gave me a chance at life and for that I'm grateful." Jenny wanted to know how he knew her name but she figured Lina must have told him. Smiling at Azreal one last time Jenny made her way down the ward room being careful not to get seen.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

The mage didn't respond to Jennys words, though was it because his own thoughts or the girls voice being out of reach was up for debate, perhaps nothing needed to be said on the matter to begin with.

The trio got back downstairs without incident, the stairs leading down being literally, but a few feet away. Indeed there was one chamber Jenny hadn't inspected. The one room she couldn't inpsect. Approaching the door a silent humm filled could be heard. The doors had no handle and had heavy engraving aswell as a huge rune burnt on them. There was no entry from here...

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Ready for another trip into the chambers Riley? I think the man who started this found away their using them. I hate to go back into them but it might be our only way. That is unless you know something?.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Riley looked to the girl curiuosly "The likely question is are you not telling me sometginh. Why the chambers?" she looked to Jenny hoping for an aswer. Just what did the heroine learn from the cypher?

 

[ranger]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny dove into Sir's little backpack and pulled up the cypher. "Didn't I show you this one? See all the numbers below maybe its his sequence to get to where he was going?" Jenny paused a moment only now seeing the flaw in her plan. "Oh wait... there have only been 4 doors at most...." Dejected she put her hands to her sides and sighed.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Riley raised a eyebrow at the heroine and snickered warmly "Well you're quite the action girl." the showgirl smiled earnestly at her and looked around "We could've asked Azreal for ideas... But lets see if we can figure it out.." Riley gently took Jennys hand and the would have to upstairs or the demology class anywhere else down here proved to ve too dark to read "So these numbers... You mean in these final lines?"

 

[ranger]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"Yes the ones where he talks about the ward being with in reach and about the 6 demons. Sorry for the poor translation in parts." Jenny let Riley look it over as she kept an eye out for puppets that got to close for comfort.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Riley snickered at Jenny warmly and took the paper in hand, leaning against. With a light snap of her fingers a small lantern appeared right next to her illuminating the area quite nicely. The lantern was just like the one Jenny saw guards of Kings Coast carry around, it levitated right next to Riley not leaving her side.

"Hm... 6 Demons, 6 Legions, 3 warlords and 12 figures." the girl lowered the piece of paper thinking lightly "I wonder if it's just an accident. The numbers always divide out of three. Three... Six... Twelve. If we had nine it'd be a perfect set"

 

[ranger]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"So if we follow that thought the doors would be 2, 2, 1, and 4?" Jenny looked it over holding Sir so he could see as well. "9 would be 3 but if that was teh case where would it go?" Jenny pulled out the primary note and showed it to Sir. "Sir can you detect any hidden ink on this note?" It was worth a shot but Jenny didn't get her hopes up.

 

[Ubberific]

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

"2, 2, 1...?" Riley raised eyebrow looking over to Jenny "Why? WAIT! What if it's like a clock! 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock each have a direction!" Riley eyes glazed over with glee "You know every 3 hours the arrow moves to a certain point. 12 would be north and 6 south!"

"That would make... a combination within the chambers to his room?!" a huge grin appeared on the showgirls face!

Meanwhile Sir beamed over his wispy blue lights to even if Jenny noticed, shake his head. There were no other dark secrets within this cypher.

Re: Dark Secrets (ranger) GMed by Ubberific

Jenny patted Sir on the head at his scan of the paper still holding him tight. "Well if we follow this then its South twice then East and North.. What about this 200?" Jenny wasn't to sure about it but the again with Riley and Sir she was sure they could figure it out. "Well if we screw up then we have the chaulk as long as nothing like last time happens again."
