'Muiko begins sketching as he replies to Attilius "Give it time friend, perhaps we will find some mythical armor for you; or, maybe as reward for services rendered in our destination, Quila or some other Templar might bless armor for you." He chuckles "I must say, I still find it amusing that I am no longer required to dodge Templars, at least, those of Kurn. I know it has been a few years now, but I still feel my hackles raise at the mention of the word-- no offense intended Quila"
Artistic Ability rolled an 18 needing a 13 or less [Failure: 'Muiko attempts to produce an image of Attilius standing in the local area wearing water inspired armor drawing on his memories of the Plain of Burning Water but the result is a pseudo-surrealist portrait with numerous visible mistakes (Attilius' face is slumped with a misshapen skull, the armor itself blends into the background pattern giving the appearance of 'the torso less gladiator')]

"...I must say, I still find it amusing that I am no longer required to dodge Templars, at least, those of Kurn...." The giant goes silent and begins looking over the elf's shoulder at his drawings. 'Muiko attempts to produce an image of Attilius standing in the local area wearing water inspired armor drawing on his memories of the Plain of Burning Water but the result is a pseudo-surrealist portrait ...with numerous visible mistakes (Attilius' face is slumped with a misshapen skull, the armor itself blends into the background pattern giving the appearance of 'the torso less gladiator')] At first the giant has an interested face then it shifts to uncomfortable finally to abject horror! "Andropinis's CACK!!! (He roars) MA... MY FACE! I REALLY LOOK LIKE THAT?!" He screams as his food plate loudly falls to the desert floor and he quickly starts feeling his head and face for off-symmetry and misshapeness. |

"But given what we know. Of the sorcerer Myron all of a sudden failing in his attempt, more due to a failure of heart than due to perseverance, being replaced by one dubbed Manu, by this orchestrator of things called Rajaat. Maybe this vision, if you saw that vision in a tower of Aman, himself a brother of Myron, who is to say that this metal clad and helmed sorcerer facing Hamanu was not Myron himself? Did you manage to question Aman on this vision and what it meant? Where did you encounter the vision, what triggered it specifically, do you still recall?" Quila elatedly queries the Balican noble after his recollections.
More tempered and downtrodden she adds, "It pains me to learn that one of the current city-state rules was involved in those Cleansing Wars. It makes you wonder who else of the current kings and queens of the Tablelands has had such a sordid malevolent past. And even more frightening, where is this Rajaat and what happened to them? We know from the Messenger that he stopped talking to them, and something or someone else later started talking to them, something that was guarding something. This has to make sense in a way, if only we had some more pieces of this historical puzzle."
Shivering a bit, more from the subject-matter being talked about than the frigid desert cold which is offset by the warm fuzzy tagster at her feet and the camp fire and camaraderie, she continues,
"It makes me wonder what we are in for. You have only been in a tower construct with it's ruins beneath in your previous visit to this place, right? And there were two more ruins? Were they in the neighborhood, were they the only visible structures of a far more sprawling historical city plan still jutting above the sand dunes, or what more can you tell of the lay of the land?"

Niachi mulls over this continuing trove of knowledge, adds his question:
"This inverted tower ruin: Would it allow for Atillius to move and act?"
He waits for the veterans of this mad tower to reply.
To the Behemoth Artist's comment about familiars, he nods to indicate agreement.

The gladiator frowns. "Yes but da owner ov dat tower gave me an amazin' gift when last I was here. I'm not going to go in there and mess with his home." |

Looks like 'Atillius Inverted,' or 'A.I. art' for short." |

It might be a better option in the long run?" |

Quila impatiently taps her fingers on her leather padded kneecaps, before she prods again, "Do you have anything more insightful to add to Atillius' experience perhaps Coden? It would seem we all get a little distracted by the artist in our midst when I thought we were discussing some very serious undeadly and possibly fiery matters. I'd rather not enter tombs and towers without full knowledge shared beforehand."

Quila will also cast this evening:
Sacred Guardian on Chat'cho and ask Chat'cho to cast it upon me as well, and explain why me and Ande also had it mirrored on each other when in the Savannah 2 months before.
She will cast a Personal Reading using the name 'Aman the Maker' to see what she might learn from that.

Chat'cho will reciprocate--she has plenty of first-level spell slots, so spending one this way isn't disagreeable to her. "You are thoughtful."
