She's imperfect, but she tries
She is good, but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help Well. Amalia cannot help but laugh as Caiside guesses her riddle, burying her red face in her hands at how poorly she has made her point. At least nobody else gets their right, either, though Sam comes the closest to guessing the smith's. It does not surprise her that Jigano knows them all, his easy answering of every challenge consistent with her expectations of the man. Grinning ruefully, she nods her head when Jigano says her answer. The next challenge is... strange. Amalia follows Jigano warily as he walks to the table full of statues, listening with a weary frown and lifting up the bear. She is tempted to complain to the bard's retreating back, and if they were alone she might, asking what on earth any of this had to do with being an adequate loreseeker. Instead she simply sighs, reaching up to scratch Jyoti who has come to rest upon her shoulder, and turns to face her companions bemusedly. "This one might be west, because it could be talking about the sunset, if you think abstractly, but..." she shrugs, reaching for the next statue, the golden dragon. "And this one is east, maybe? Vi, but I don't know." a m a l i a
She is messy, but she's kind
She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone, but she used to be mine |

He knew the totems were tricky, and required thinking outside the box – that was part of the point, after all, as was working together to bounce ideas off each other and inspire leaps of intuition and logic both that each loreseeker might not make on their own, without the input of their fellows. What he hadn’t expected was Amalia’s wariness, or Sam’s reluctance for the game. He had designed the puzzles and riddles in a way that he had hoped would be fun, a chance to stretch their minds and abilities without some threat or danger hanging over their heads. Instead his friends seemed… unenthusiastic with the work he had put into the night, and he reached for Isuma’s comfort, scratching lightly between her wings as he looked at his three colleagues.

"Hmmm," the lorekeeper nodded at Caiside's first guess, eyes sparkling with approval. At the second, however, he chuckled and shook his head. "Perhaps listen to Amalia on that one," he suggested with a gentle grin. "The writing on those might be a bit hard to see, too. Find some better light and take a closer look, perhaps..."
Upon closer inspection, and raised to better light, the Loreseekers will find that some words on the bottoms of the totems appear to be a bit thicker than others. Isuma helpfully bounded from Jigano's arms to take the Iron Spire totem from Caiside and drop it into the center bowl, looking pleased with herself as she Reep!ed her own encouragement to the hard-working friends who had come to play with them today. the Archangel

When the totems were finally placed, Jigano rose and bowed to his friends, proud of their achievement, and especially at the way they had worked together - two among them especially. "It was no easy challenge, but you did well to decipher the clues!" he praised, smiling at each of them in turn. "And you reasoned them out well, sharing the information with each other as you went along. The dragon rises like the sun, in the east." He grinned at
Isuma went to rub her soft head against He stepped around the table to lift the bowl from the center of the table - only, the entire bowl didn't come up. He lifted a bowl, but another remained on the table: not one thicker dish, but two that fit cunningly together so that they looked like one piece. He set the inner bowl to the side, revealing a piece of paper that had been hidden within, sandwiched between the two metal containers. Smoothing out the creases, it became obvious that there was writing on it, and a large blank area beneath. Reaching into his box of puzzles, he pulled out five slender strips of metal with hands engraved on them, and placed them carefully beneath the words. He placed a slender mallet beside the puzzle and then offered it to his Loreseekers by stepping back so they could gather around it. "You are not without clues," he advised them with a smile, folding his hands into his capacious sleeves. "But this puzzle is a test of your quick thinking. Strike the keys with the mallet in the correct order - the first to do so correctly will win this challenge. I do ask that you take turns, though. Once you have tried a combination, set the mallet down for the next person to make their attempt. No matter what order you go in, I'll let you each take a turn before I let you know if anyone got it right. And yes, if you think you've solved it after someone else has, you may repeat their pattern." The message on the paper was simple: A B C D E Last round! Who will strike the right tone and gain those last, precious points?

A lead that Caiside overcame by solving the riddle of the chimes first. And Sam nearly caught up by solving it second,” he added, with a nod for the gentle bookmaker. ”But perhaps it is fitting that our wander-footed colleague wins this prize,” he added with a smile for Caiside, reaching into the box a final time to withdraw two small, oval mirrors. ”These were a gift to our Guild, and they will prove useful for our field agents who go out into the world to seek new lore – and find new trouble,” he chuckled, with a wink for Amalia. ”I’ve been playing with them a bit, and they reflect what the other mirror sees, no matter how far apart they are. No sound, but if we write what we want to communicate and hold the letter up to the mirror, we’d have an invaluable means of keeping in touch across long distance,” he explained, handing them to Caiside. ”Use them wisely, and in pursuit of lore.” With a smile he clapped his hands lightly, looking at the three friends gathered with a grin. ”Now, who wants some tea? This seems like an excellent chance for everyone to catch up and get to know each other a bit better…” Caiside receives: Two-way mirror: Two small oval-sizes pieces of mirror. Each item is magically bonded to the other, and reveals the reflection of its partner when looked into, regardless of distance. Thank you all for participating in this Guild PQ! I hope you had as much fun playing as I did! | ||||||||
