🍁Nine Ancient Obelisks

– These are the times, and these are the decisions, – Asmidula Camistella felt discontent. – We live in a living nightmare, so nerves are frayed. In a desperate attempt to change something, strange ideas may come to mind, like this one. In this case, there is nothing to fear. We are capable of things much, much worse than breaking into a door.

Apparently, Camistella had no other news besides meeting Linshi. Asmidula was going to take the blame for everything.

- If the victims have little time left, then we need to gather them all together, bring them up to speed, and identify the villain.

—I agree, that should be our priority. Only it's easier said than done. —moving everyone to the table, the guy unloaded his map on top of it. —..I didn't dare take your map while the guards were around, so I used my own for notes. —he explains to Linshi.



—I'll be brief, so as not to confuse anyone. Sir Tann has a unique ability to seal fragments of his soul into his victims, thereby delaying the moment of their death, and can recall them at any time, with all the consequences. This can explain all the strange things we have encountered so far. Confusion and the acquisition of uncharacteristic physical and magical abilities are also related to this. Also, for some unknown reason, he or his fragments protect the secret of the Black Knight and attack anyone they deem too dangerous to investigate. Why did he leave you his amulet, why doesn't he touch us, why is he practicing on yesterday's children, and what principle does he use to choose the remaining time for us? I don't know. —he shrugs. —But I feel that if we don't find him, it will be considered a failure of this deadly "test".

—As for my research. In Sizki, this is my home. There was a reaction to Stalemid, but here we may be mistaken, as the Crimson Pit is located directly beneath it. Linshi, do you think the detector could have picked it up on the way to Faris? In any case, there is also an effect on the Pit itself and the Hexagon, but I didn't go any further because of the prohibition of open access or simply the great danger of these places. The next activation was in the suburbs of Ruzaniel: on a pentagram made of ordinary stones. The story is the same as with my bed, —he looks at Camistella, —the stones, the sand, the ground beneath them, everything is quite ordinary, but the place itself radiates the energy of our friend. I believe that he used his abilities there or something like that. Any ideas, Linshi? The last thing is a closed phantom shop in Ninamiat. I couldn't break in: the owner sealed the castle with powerful spells, which, I believe, transport anyone who tries to break it into the unknown. Don't ask me how I found that out. As for the mark on Onkaihe... I know a victim from there, but unfortunately she disappeared, and I could not find her. It's not much, I understand, but that's about it.
