We have people observing from above too. If anything stands out in any way, you’ll know as soon as I do.

@Valiance

Let's make it quick. Those statues will slow us down.
*Moves my hand toward my mouth, dropping the draconic form and walks opposite of the previous mural, stopping to check the time every so often*

*Filters through various basic optics to gauge things like hear signatures and energy emission from the city’s material itself*
I can keep trying. The gold is more than just gold, it has properties that make it hard to actually divulge much information beyond just actually looking at it. I can keep you posted if I break through.

@Multifarious

So we just guess and move in the other direction if the time starts going forward? Sure, that works.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

No, unfortunately. Not without a target time to aim for, which I don’t think we have, unless you picked that up somewhere?

@Multifarious

Can you at least get us some kind of direction?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

The place is very conveniently hard to investigate.

@Multifarious

Can you do some kind of algorithm to figure out the epicenter with just the time differences?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Well…
*”Scans” over the environment manually by just scoping out what can be seen from above*

@Multifarious

*The city has the appearance of a normal civilization well integrated to its natural subterranean environment, and gold has nearly crept up the entirety of the mountainous chunks that collapsed onto the city due to our entry*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I think they’ve got me a good perspective now. I can try to check the whole city out as well.
*Does a top-down scan of the city proper*

@Multifarious

*The gold has an unnatural signal absorption property and strongly dampens the beacon as you try to reconstruct its image*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

It’s overrated anyway.

@Valiance

Chickpea, you do the math. If we find the difference between here and the clock tower, can we find the epicenter?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Not gonna gamble and try to get it all to yourself either?

@Valiance

I'm here for its heart. Glory can come later.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Your call. Depends what you’re comfortable with.

@Valiance

I say we stick together. I don’t want to give you the entire fight.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Either it happened and it had to travel along the path of its effect, or it did whatever caused this and the effect rippled outward from it and it stayed at the epicenter. So if your call is the latter, then yeah. Oldest.

@Valiance

If it stayed in the center, the clocks will match along a circle. If it moved, the path will wind. We could either trace it or split up.
