And made a discovery! "Of course", Asca nodded and followed Cora to said findings. "Hm...", he made upon seeing them, a bit stumped. "This honestly simply looks like the leftovers of tunnel guards. A Spirit Armor doesn't decease this easily, but whoever wielded that Cleaver and the Chimera to which those fangs once belonged were probably not that lucky... Except for...", he took the bottle of oil in his claws - and it immediately slipped through. With a startled noise he managed to catch it by holding the other claw to the underside and carefully placed it back on the table again. He got himself together again fast though and sniffed at the oil, grimacing. "Some dragons use this in their meals I guess... But deity, its slippery! Maybe it isn't as out of place as it seemed, those could be the remains of traps to keep outsiders from the workshop." He took a second look at the weapon and the chain. "They look equally rusted, but of course they were down there for equally long, so they might not have been attached - but who knows, depending on how badly they wanted to keep their secrets, those two items might have built some kind of brutal swing trap." He shrugged his wingbones. "Hard to say without a look at where they came from..." But no, he surely didn't plan on going in there, especially not alone. He was curious but not at all costs. Maybe when the archeologist recovered, he could report what else he had seen.

I’m glad he’s safe.” Podei glances back to the medical tent and back. He’s probably the reason the tent is here. She’s someone glad Clade isn’t here, she knows he’d probably end up in there somehow. She doesn’t voice this to her friend. Instead, she looks over at the new materials set in front of her. “This one seems…. Fairly easy,” She says, surprised. “Kinda like stuff you’d use to prepare for fights. The Spirit Armor could be a dummy, and the cleaver and chain could be the weapons! It’d be hard to fight with a chain, though.” She shrugs, but smiles and says, “If that’s the case, it’s ironic how the guards helped bring this back.” She then looks to Cora, "I hope all this stuff happening isn't stressing you out to much. If you need a break you're always free to come hang out with me! Don't work yourself too hard." [/center]

[center]First, I'd like to apologize for the lateness of the winners for June 20th. I was traveling back home from a vacation today so much of my day was spent traveling to the airport/on a plane, and as you can garner, no or limited access to wifi. Thus, I'll be doing a dual update here of June 20th's updated and the prompt for the 22nd. I thank you all so much for your patience![/center] [center][font=Georgia][size=7][color=#613F3D]Wi[/color][color=#57372D]nne[/color][color=#2F1F1B]rs[/color][/font][/center] [center][b]June 20[/b] @Wonderlast is our merit winner today! @HelianthusNox and @quietgal are our daily raffle winners for today!

"A music box." She murmurs, a genuine fascination lacing her words. "I would have never..." She reaches forward and picks up the contraption, turning it carefully but appreciatively. "There's not a doubt in my mind we could get it back to working order; We must have an expert in instruments [i]somewhere[/i] around the camp." Cora leans over and jots a note to find a dragon who can do exactly that. Then, she turns back to the pair and takes the sheet music from them, opening her bag and slipping it in for future archival purposes. "For your efforts, here. We appreciate this more than you could possibly know." [center][item=Gilded Decorative Chest][/center][/quote] This is the prompt for June 22nd. Note that [b]submissions for the June 21st prompt are still open[/b] until rollover (3 hours!)! This posting however, also opens up the June 22nd prompt to anyone who is interested in participating in it.

Well, about as calm as a bunch of dragons digging up ancient ruins can be. Work continues on scaffolding inside, along with mapping the workshop. Quite a few archeologists seemed to have grouped up and moved their work deeper into the workshop, gleefully flying into the darkened hallways, eager to be the first to make a brilliant discovery. A guard notices you wandering, grunts something about you being a volunteer, and shoves you towards a well lit hallway. Recalling back to the archeologist who got lost (who you hear is, so far, making a decent recovery), you shudder a bit as you step into the darkened hallway. But this one is well-lit, and seems a somewhat straightforward shot; I.e, you [i]probably[/i] won't get lost. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/136979/13697861_350.png[/img] Upon entering, you see that this could never have been anything but an ancient forge. A stone vat that must have once held molten metal hangs above your head, whilst several furnaces lie tucked into the walls with all the proper forging machinery and tools laid out in front of them. Cora seems to have quite literally picked up a rock and used it as something of a notepad to write on. She seems to be recording the tools in the room and their modern equivalents. When she hears you approach, she spins around and waves cheerfully. "I was worried they wouldn't send the volunteers down here. We need you more than ever, now that we're moving beyond the original foyer." You think briefly about asking her about the dark sprites, but if she is not worried, why should you be? "Come on over here, there's so much to look at!"

I need the column it is encircling." [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=52199596] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/521996/52199596_350.png[/img] [/url] "Whatever you say! Uh, we're gonna look for Macbeth after this, right?" [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=23090491] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/230905/23090491_350.png[/img] [/url] "Oh, Oh, I know what you're trying to do! I'll take care of it right away! You do the wire, Katherine." Katherine nods. As she opened the laser coil and gutted it of all of its inner components, leaving only an empty tube, Alice began using the gauntlet to grind the gold ore and the might fragment into a fine powder. The two dragons worked together to fill the tube up with the powder. Agrippa returns with the column from the serthis support. "Hey, I still have no idea what we're doing," Agrippa says, "I just wanted your help to lo-" "For Macbeth, yes," Katherine cuts in, "Well, we're trying to help these archaeologists here figure out what the uses of the these items are. We're busy. You can either stay and help us or leave and find your boyfriend." "Best. Friend." Agrippa says, disgruntled. "I'm sure Macbeth will turn up eventually," Alice pipes up, "It's nice that you care about him so much." Agrippa throws up his hands, exasperated, "You know what, I'll stay and help you, just to prove that me and Macbeth are best friends. Best. Friends." Katherine and Alice look at each other and smirked. Katherine searched around the column for an opening. "Aha! As I suspected, serthis support columns are usually hollow, to allow for defensive maneuvers." Alice nods, "We can run this coil filled with crushed gold dust and might fragment through the column. Now, Agrippa, why did we do that?" "I dunno," He says with a dumbfounded look on his face. Katherine sighs, "I'm not sure how much of an asset you will be... Well, gold has healing properties, which is amplified when mixed with a might fragment. We can store it inside a nice package like this and throw it during combat-" "Voila! Healing grenade!" Alice says with a smile, "You can also use the coil to aim, for more controlled healing! This'll be great to take on expeditions and such. Katherine, may you do the honors?" Katherine shakes her head, "Agrippa already beat me to it." The nocturne in question has, indeed, punched a hole clean through the submit button

Day Seven: Wires and gold


Amber noded. "Let's get to work, yes! I'll be very fast today, I promise. So, gold is nice and shiny, but it's also a good conductor of electricity, so I'm thinking that's what it was used for. I bet the wiring in the coil was made of it! Now, what could all of the rest be doing here...?"

She looked at the statue, imposing and tall, then at the stone next to it. " I'm thinking the fragment was useful to whoever was making that statue. It looks heavy, and the slabs its segments were made of must have been heavy, too! So, the dragon sculptor needed the might piece to be efficient in his work. And the wiring..." She stops for a moment then raises her head high in excitement. "Oh! I know what this is! It must be a prototype of a statue that moves! You know, the ones you twist the finger of and a secret door suddenly opens, etc? I bet the wiring was for inside the statue, to control the action connected to it. I'm thinking the control mechanism was going to be placed under the gauntlet - see? It's small enough to be placed on the hand of the statue without falling. That is why it is the only piece of apparel present at the time - the rest of the attire was going to be purely decorational, and so it did not need to be present in order to be tested in here."

Amber smiles at the statue, and then at Cora. "If it's true it would be quite special, I think..."

I was getting settled in at home today and unfortunately had a mishap in my home whilst I was gone, so that occupied my attention for today and the time for posting the winner slipped by me. The June 23rd prompt will be coming to you all very shortly after this! @quietgal is our merit winner today! @RemanLT and @Tempter are our daily raffle winners for today!

While it's clear she's listening, her focus is also partially on the task at hand. When Amber finishes, her gaze rises and she holds the note out to the courier. "You know what? That would be very useful. And if you'd get an object or two off this list, that would be wonderful. If science fails us, historical remedies might not." After Amber takes it, Cora takes another long look at the objects and nods decisively. "Yes, that must be it. I cannot possibly imagine that there weren't guards here in the ancient days, and a dragon alone can barely take on the things that lurk in these ruins." Cora reaches forward and pulls the objects for her. "I'll get this recorded right away. And here, for your help."

I’m glad you’re getting farther along in your research,” Podei grins as she enters the area. She looks around and deems the room safe, then steps over to where Cora has pointed out. That is… a good amount of items this time around. She sniffs carefully through them before pulling out some gold ore and a battered gauntlet. “I’m pretty sure this could be used for mining,” She decides, “If not by a dragon, then by something else. Although I’ve heard rumors of pretty big dragons.” [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479126797364101134/592180741702680601/AAAAAAAAA.png[/img] She smiles at Cora while holding up the gauntlet, “Ooorr… it used to be a death machine that shot lasers at dragons that passed by. It’s all up to speculation.”
