Fifth Adventure 03.1: The Path of Light

The runes are actually written up-to-down

After hearing what Snarg said, Zeiss approach the orb to a rune of Air.

"You guys aren't thinking the hole for that thing might be where the others ended up, are you?"

Hanuel summoned Dara quickly, wondering if that still functioned in this place.

"Mmm, per 'er o'er them fer a sec." Snarg points from the orb and waves his hand from the top of the elemental runes to the bottom.

The Runes for Air and Water suddenly light up.

"Hm. Lookit that." Hanuel walks up to the spacial rune.

"Let me guess... we have to light up all the runes?"

Snarg howls: "Aww, I ain't no good at these sorta things!"

"Lemme try."

Hanuel looks over the group, taking note of everyone's elemental affinity. "Not sure we can do all that, Zeiss."

Zeiss gives the orb to Higaide and go check the flowers.

"I ain't thinkin' it be like that - maybe ya be tryin', Higs?"

*Holds up the orb to the element runes, one by one.*

The Orb has no reaction that you can tell, but the Fire rune suddenly lights up.

"Odd. It's not mine.

Hey Hanuel, give it a shot."

"Can I try?"

Hanuel takes the orb and holds it over the runes.

Zeiss is sitting on the ground. He looks at his colleagues while drinking his strawberry concoction.

In order, the runes suddenly change; Life lights up, Earth dims, Dark lights up, Air dims, Spacial, Water, and Light light up, and Fire dims.

"Snarg, Higs, Zeiss, come try this again."

"Hmm...

Snarg, can you try it again?"

"Erm, right," Snarg scratches his ear, "lemme be tryin'?"

Without any warning Earth, Air, and Fire all light up. That section of the wall vanishes entirely, and you find yourself staring into a new room. It is a continuation of the 'hill' you are in, still grassy and green, and well light from the flowers, as Zeiss has now realized. There is a small pool of water in one corner of the room, and three things that look like they should be doors but have no creases nor handholds, leading north, west, and east.

Snarg grasps the orb and bends down before standing up abruptly as the symbols light. He peers down the new opening. "Ya, o' course." he mutters, walking over to the new area.
