<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well, that's a given. What's with this mountain anyway? No wait... Better question, why are you guys here?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

We were looking for the undisturbed ancient source of this place for a previous party member we got separated from.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

So that's still our objective then? This is some adventure... Almost being killed by this mountain I mean.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I'd gladly leave as soon as we can, but we're stuck until one of us gets either the magic or precision we need to get out of here.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Fair enough. Let's keep going then. Let me check in on Noct first.

*I look through Noct's eyes and see what he sees.*

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

*Deeper into the cave is illuminated by the soft glow of luminescent crystals and accompanied by a faint, rhythmic thumping*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I think Noct's found your power source.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

You think so?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

He's real deep into the cave system. He can see a glowing crystal throbbing with power.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

The real question is how we could use that to escape.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I mean, this is a dangerous suggestion, but couldn't you use that to replenish your magic?

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

I could use a spell to escape right now if I had to. But magic poisoning is like a sunburn—before I've recovered completely, it's much easier to end up in a worse spot than I was in before.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well, I guess the only way to find out is to go over there. Technically I could have Noct scout it out some more, but that'd be cruel.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

...He does come back, doesn’t he? And we don’t.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

He does... Doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when he dies.

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Why don’t we just have Gio explore, then!

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

*Pokes my head out a few minutes later*
Hey, it's ready. Give me a hand, kay?

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

It hurts when I die too!

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*I look at Gio*

Wait you can come back from being dead?!

<Snipped quote by Vacare>

Not in any meaningful way. Dying just sounds like it would really hurt!
