Schwarzbart Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Izaels Study 09 "Read the paper" You read the papers the skeleton left "They hunt me to get my cloistered!" "So I had to escape to my secret room that was useful to me trough all the years I was at Academagia." "By the dragons I dropped the portal stone when entering my Study Room and so I can't use the normal way out!" "But I'm not sure if this way would even work when I wanted to return as I left the hunters some nasty surprises in my house." "Even worse I also forgot my wand and so I have to use my fingers to cast spells" "For now I will get me some rest before looking for some other way to exit this dimension" "Damn the persons who made the ban of Gate magic law." "How is knowing Gate Magic is worse then using the way we bind our familiars on a human as done by a friend?" "Thanks to this law I'm now stuck in this dimension" "Till today I only used this room to read books to study and to get some rest so I didn't realise that magic works different here." "All my gate magic spells that I managed to cast without a wand don't work!" "Maybe I should have taken more then just 2 years Gate, maybe then I would know a way out of this?" "Slowly I reach the time where the gate stone usual force me to leave the room but I don't have it with me this time." "Also my storage in water is used up by now because I didn't managed to fill it up before they found me so I getting thirsty and hungry!" "Is it a week I'm already trapped here? Hard to tell as the light is always the same." "I hardly feel anything any more so the hunger and thirst are gone also." "Looking at me I see that only bone and hide is left from me" "I always wondered why I only could use the room every other day but now I realise that extended exposure is not good for ones mind and body!" "I try to focus my last clear thought to who ever find this letter." "Don't overuse this study like I did, this place Is clearly never meant for a human to stay for a extended time" "As long you keep with the limited time the gate stone let you stay and only return every other day every thing should be fine" "The much faster flow of time here was great for the days I need some extra time to get some rest or study some books." "Also say my cousin Raoul that I'm sorry to not be able to follow his advice regarding this room. "Signed Izael" After you returned to the surface you now have to decide what to do with this Portal Stone in your hands. As it is clearly gate magic you think that you only have this 3 option 1) Bureaucracy register it (Cost money and if fail the item is lost) Requirement: Enough Pims Success: The argumentation with the bureaucrats and the testing of this Item trough a other mage took seemingly for ever. But you managed to convince them that this item is not dangerous and a item that was manufactured within Mineta from the pre ban time. So after you paid the usual fee for this kind of test you got a document that this item is legal allowed according to the laws of Mineta. +Legal Gate Stone to Izaels Study; -Pims Failure: It was a bad idea to register this item now you not only paid a huge sum in Pims you also are not allowed to keep the Gate Stone. The words that your did the right thing for sure don't help either. -Pims 2) keep it secret (The Gate Stone is flagged as illegal) You feel you was destined to find this item so you will keep it. Sure this means you have to keep it a secret that you have such a item but who cares. +Gate Stone to Izaels Study 3) turn it over to the Academy Auto Success: You walk over to the main gate of Academagia and see the Legate who just ended a talk with a stranger. He spotted you then and greet you with the words "Hello there. Can't await till the next year start young one?" When you mentioned that you discovered a dangerous device that you didn't know where you could bring it to he invited you to his office In his office you showed him the paper and the Gate Stone. After he silently read the paper he told you. "You where right to bring this thing to me. I will take care of it." "Now I think some reward is in order because of the summer break I can't award you Merit points but moment ..." He looks trough the drawer of his desk and then put a ring on the table. "This ring might help you from getting to stressed." "Anything else you need of me? Otherwise I suggest you leave the academy now as I have work to do." + Relationship with Orso Orsi + Ring that can restore 5 points Stress once a week as free action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
