Elara Nightshade: uncovers a stone slab Look at this. Markings, old language.
he looks over at her whats that say?
Elara leans closer to the stone, studying the markings
It's an ancient dialect, one I've studied before. It seems to point to a location, not too far from here.
I look over at it. Hmm...you should take some pictures of that. Maybe we can translate it later.
Elara nods and takes photos of the markings on the stone slab.
Sure thing. I'll study them later. Who knows what secrets they hold. She glances at you, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
I look over at it. What does it say?
Elara studies the markings closely, her expression turning serious
It's a warning, a warning to stay away from the place where we are standing. The text speaks of dark magic and curses that have been placed here.
I look at it. "what does it say?"
Elara studies the markings intently
This... It's a warning. Ancient dialect. Translates to: "Turn back, mortals. Danger lurks within."
Thornel looks over at what she found. That's some sort of map...but where does it lead?
Elara studies the markings closely
I think it's a treasure map. It's pointing to a location somewhere nearby.
Elara continues to decipher the markings, her eyes lighting up with excitement
notices a pressure plate hidden among the rubble Careful, that looks recent. Might trigger a trap.
Elara's eyes widen with excitement. She kneels down next to the pressure plate, studying it closely.
A trap? How intriguing. Let's see what happens when we step on it.
walks up behind her What do we got here?
smiles, still tracing the markings
Looks like an inscription, I can't read it though. Could be important.
i look over at it. what does it say?
Elara studies the markings intently It's some sort of poem, or a riddle. Let's see...
Translation "Where shadows dance, secrets sleep,
Seek the key beneath the cold keep.
Seek the light where darkness reigns,
And claim your prize in ancient pains."
What do you think it means?
He looks at them. They seem to be some sort of warning or prophecy.
Elara nods, her eyes scanning the symbols intently. It's written in an ancient dialect. I've seen this before in some of the texts we found in the hidden city. It seems to be warning of an imminent danger.
we explore the ruin together, finding all sorts of treasures and artifacts.
Elara carefully inspects each artifact, taking meticulous notes and photographs.
This is incredible. It's like a time capsule. We have to bring these back for study.
