You say, 'Hail, Irrissa the Seer' Irrissa the Seer directs your attention to the seeing pool, and you glimpse reflections of battles in the ripples of the shallow liquid. A shadowy figure effortlessly defeats a score of humanoids that attempt to attack him. 'The Master knows all. He can sense danger long before it ever approaches, making him nigh invincible. Tread lightly while in his house, ______.' Defeat Zi-Thuuli of the Granite Claw in the Demi-Plane of Blood and return to Irrissa with its Rune-Etched Stone in your inventory. The stone also drops rarely from distorted watchers in the Demi-Plane. You say, 'Hail, Irrissa the Seer' Irrissa the Seer says 'Ah, ______. You have returned. I have watched as you walked your path. The reflecting pool has shown me of your feats. You were introduced to the cruel and unpredictable malice of Graniteclaw and lived to tell about it. Now I sense that you wish to understand more. Allow me to hold the Rune-Etched Stone and I will grant you the understanding you seek.' Give him the stone. Irrissa the Seer directs your attention to the seeing pool once again. As the ripples clear you can make out a shadowy individual gazing into a full-length mirror. He casts no reflection. The figure sees nothing, but continues to gaze intently as if trying to recall what it was once like to see himself. Irrissa speaks softly, 'This man has riches, ancient artifacts, immortality, and slaves tending to his every need, and yet he would exchange that for the opportunity to gaze upon his own reflection again. Without the aid of a reflection, this figure seeks to understand himself through the reactions of others. The fate of these others is of no consequence to him. They are used, coerced, and destroyed for the sake of shaping and redefining his ego. Tell me, how does this realization make you feel about the figure? [Disgusted], [sorrowful], [furious], or [apathetic]?' You gain experience!! There are four levels of the Aura of Crimson Mists zonewide AE in the Demi-Plane of Blood. Turning in the head reduces the effect by one quarter. You say, 'Disgusted.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Irrissa the Seer nods. 'An understandable response. The Master places no value on life. Even his closest servants and guardians are nothing more than disposable tools, and this must appear disgusting and deplorable to an outsider.' You say, 'Sorrowful.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Irrissa the Seer nods. 'An understandable response. When you can see how pitiful it is to be forced to shatter another's existence in order to see your own, it's hard not to feel sorry for the Master's predicament. To have no concept of self is a horrible curse.' You say, 'Furious.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Irrissa the Seer nods. 'An understandable response. There are many that look upon the Master as an aberration. There are many that have attempted to destroy him for his crimes. There are none that have succeeded.' You say, 'Apathetic.' You feel as though you have been judged, and that this decision may affect you sometime in the future. Irrissa the Seer nods. 'I must warn you of the perils of apathy, ______. A lack of convictions is the worst of all evils. You would be far better served by taking a stand, and making a real decision.' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
