The inside of the tunnel seems to glimmer. Gun metal grey, the stone here has been worked smooth. Sep 16 22:16:32 * Morgan looks around somewhat in awe Sep 16 22:20:03 *the nieblungen look at him then smile at each other* N: you can touch anything you see Sep 16 22:20:23 * AndroUser has quit (Remote host closed the connection) Sep 16 22:20:36 * Morgan nods slowly, running his hand over the smooth stone Sep 16 22:21:17 * AndroUser (~androirc@956334yd.skybroadband.com) has joined #7thseaic Sep 16 22:21:32 ((c&p pls)) Sep 16 22:21:43 * Morgan nods slowly, running his hand over the smooth stone Sep 16 22:25:14 **a feeling flows through his hand from the stone, and then back again. It feels right. He feels somehow acknowledged and welcomed, a deep sense of peace. Sep 16 22:28:07 * Morgan sighs deeply Sep 16 22:32:07 **it doesn't feel like magic. It doesnt feel like something being done to him. It feels more like a conversation between his body and whatever else is on the other side of the sensation. The nieblungen encourage him to go deeper Sep 16 22:32:56 * Morgan wanders forward, trailing his hand along the stone Sep 16 22:33:29 how many people have seen the inside of the mines? Sep 16 22:36:08 N: Define "people"? Sep 16 22:36:43 Well, not Nieblungen, since they're your mines... I'm thinking my kind Sep 16 22:39:20 N: two Sep 16 22:39:44 I assume thats you mean in _this_ mine Sep 16 22:42:35 N: No, in all the places my kind have mined the Dracheneisen Sep 16 22:42:54 * Morgan looks stunned Sep 16 22:43:12 that explains the Eisenfursts surprise Sep 16 22:59:22 * AndroUser has quit (Remote host closed the connection) Sep 16 23:00:13 * AndroUser (~androirc@956334yd.skybroadband.com) has joined #7thseaic Sep 16 23:05:35 N: *he nods slightly. Again Morgan is beckoned forward, descending under the tree where thick shiny roots pass through the top of the tunnel Sep 16 23:06:10 * Morgan follows Sep 16 23:11:52 **he has to duck under the roots. The tree is huge, and it takes a little while for Morgan to crouch and twist beneath them. Following the much shorter nieblungen, he eventually comes to a large high chamber with multiple tunnels leading off it. Though he's not sure why, this large open space makes him think of a church Sep 16 23:12:29 * Morgan looks around at the chamber Sep 16 23:13:13 this has a... not religious, but perhaps sacred feel to it Sep 16 23:15:33 N: This is one of the Drachens' rib cage chambers Sep 16 23:16:10 Ah, that might explain it Sep 16 23:18:16 N: Those of your kind built a place of worship in one, did they not? Sep 16 23:18:36 * Morgan nods Sep 16 23:18:39 they did Sep 16 23:20:48 ((irc acting up, best come up)) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 16 23:21:07 2017  **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 21 21:47:39 2017  Sep 21 21:47:39 * Now talking on #7thseaic Sep 21 21:47:39 * timtam.uk.eu.blitzed.org sets mode +n #7thseaic Sep 21 21:47:39 * timtam.uk.eu.blitzed.org sets mode +t #7thseaic Sep 21 21:52:11 * AndroUser (~androirc@956334yd.skybroadband.com) has joined #7thseaic Sep 21 21:52:35 C&p please Sep 21 21:53:20 this has a... not religious, but perhaps sacred feel to it Sep 21 21:53:20 N: This is one of the Drachens' rib cage chambers Sep 21 21:53:20 Ah, that might explain it Sep 21 21:53:20 N: Those of your kind built a place of worship in one, did they not? Sep 21 21:53:20 * Morgan nods Sep 21 21:53:20 they did Sep 21 22:00:13 N: *he simply nods* Sep 21 22:00:51 **the chamber branches off in several tunnels* Sep 21 22:01:03 * Morgan indicates the tunnels Sep 21 22:01:18 Can I assume they go deeper into the mines themselves? Sep 21 22:03:11 N: yes. Would you like to look? Sep 21 22:03:45 I'd like to, but I wonder if the Eisenfurst will grow restless waiting Sep 21 22:07:27 *the nieblungen exchange a glance with each other that seems thick with unspoken words. Then they head into the left most tunnel Sep 21 22:08:03 * Morgan follows them quietly Sep 21 22:13:32 * this tunnel is smaller, forcing Morgan to stoop. The air here feels strange, unnaturally still. The walls are far rougher and, by a small lantern held by a nieblungen, he can see the thick grey seams of raw dracheneisen Sep 21 22:14:21 * Morgan reaches a hand out, stopping short of touching the seam Sep 21 22:14:25 may I? Sep 21 22:16:04 N: *collectively they nod, looking both excited and curious* Sep 21 22:16:19 * Morgan places his palm against the raw seam Sep 21 22:18:07 *As raw as the metallish substance beneath his hand, he feels a raw and substantial power flowing from it to his body and back. He hears that whispering sound from his dream Sep 21 22:18:43 * Morgan lowers his head, listening Sep 21 22:21:24 *try as he might, he still cant make out the words.

Both ends are sharp. They just watch him curiously Sep 21 22:40:08 * Morgan twirls it slowly across his palm before offering it to the nearest of the Nieblungen Sep 21 22:40:16 I wouldn't want you to think I was stealing Sep 21 22:45:01 *he silently takes it from Morgan, looks it over, then places it in Morgans hand and brings morgans fingers curved closed around it. With a little gesture to push Morgan's hand against Morgan's own body, he seems to be telling Morgan to keep it Sep 21 22:45:29 * Morgan nods slowly, holding onto the sliver Sep 21 22:47:38 N: *the most talkative one nods at the others a moment before speaking to Morgan* it is time to go, my Lord Sep 21 22:48:05 * Morgan nods Sep 21 22:48:14 thank you for this opportunity.

What did you see? Oct 01 22:46:11 they took me through passages that had already been mined, the walls smooth... then into a big vaulted area, the ribcage... Oct 01 22:46:17 * Morgan looks solemnly at Faulk Oct 01 22:46:31 they're not impressed with that church thats built around a drachen chest Oct 01 22:48:21 I wonder why? Oct 01 22:49:11 It felt... sacred I suppose... they have a deep connection with these creatures, so I suppose I can understand their disdain for someone making a building out of one Oct 01 22:52:42 The pope decreed it a holy place... Oct 01 22:53:04 * Morgan shrugs Oct 01 22:53:41 after that they took me to see some unmined veins Oct 01 22:55:08 Is there much down there? Oct 01 22:55:33 tough to tell, I didn't go far into that part Oct 01 22:57:52 * Faulk nods Oct 01 22:57:59 Did they talk much? Oct 01 22:58:28 not especially... mostly only to answer any questions I asked... cryptically, naturally Oct 01 23:01:26 They are a very cryptic people Oct 01 23:01:33 * Morgan nods Oct 01 23:03:26 They seemed to take a shine to you.
