It’s some kind of password. If you pull the right levers, we get in. If you don’t, you lose your arm. Fun, right?

@Meta

@Source *Snickers* Well i'm glad i wasn't the one to just jut my whole arm in there now aren't i?

I scan these things before he touches them. I don’t hate him that much.

@Meta

Wait... you hate him? phhh.... curious characters you too... so what are they then if you already scanned them?

More importantly, adventuring gives Lily the chance to see new magics.
*Places my hand inside and feels the back of the stone’s rough surface*
Seems like there’s a series of switches. I’m not sure what they go to.

@Source

You got your motives i guess. And it is valid enough sure. But to just lay your whole living on this alone when at least there could be cheaper ways to live somewhere else, like in a stable civilized world, and only use the Tavern for quests, is a better otpion in my honest opinion.

*Looks at you in disbelief*

Dude! Are you just doing that? Have you ever seen any movie about NOT plopping your hand in a creepy ancient ruin stone hole like that?

On top of? Sounds like the same thing I’m doing now, but with extra work.
*Peers into one of the crevices*

@Source

Meh suit yourself, t'was merely a suggestion. And what are these crevices anyway? *Follows you and looks at one too*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Is it limiting? The alternatives sound a lot more stale.
*Walks alongside the structure, which has several hand-sized crevices embedded into the rock along its surface*

@Source

And stable is... good... isn't it? You seem to struggle with the lady at the tavern about the rent. What i meant is something like owning a business or something like that on top of the adventuring life...

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Telepathically*
Seems risky, doesn’t it? They’ll probably stop trusting us.

@Memory

*Telepathically* Yeah, you are right... well fine, let's focus on the mission then and just walk on the same page with them for now...

Adventuring is our career. We need money to live at the Tavern, and more importantly, to eat.

@Source

*Mentally to @Memory* Uuugh... when are we comfortable to reveal to them we can offer them a better living condition than the tavern? Should we just never reveal this or what?

*Rolls my eyes in annoyance toward her*
Don’t listen to Lily; she’s an airhead. We’re not going to let you die.

@Source

*Outloud* Well that is a rather limiting lifestyle no? Just adventuring for money? Have you ever thought of other avenues? *I also proceed to walk through this space we are in analysing the structure while i talk*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

Have they? I mean, we accepted the 70/30 cut up front.

@Memory

Yeah, you're right, but even here they said, they would be happy to let us die if it means they get all the profit...

<Snipped quote by Meta>

—and while we’re open to allies, they’re business relationships. We don’t form permanent alliances, for our own sake.

@Source

So, let me get this straight... you can't live without money, yet you exist in some building in between worlds? How does that make sense?
Why is money so... special for you? Hey Prism, help me out here... They have been trying to swindle us out of profit all this time. How does that fare with you?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Coughs*
Hey, don’t be shy. You also need real questing experience, so that’s valuable to you. Me, I want the money.

@Memory

Phhh! Sure!

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Exhales*
If you stab us in the back, it won’t end well.

@Source

I could say the same thing for you. All you care about here seems to be money and not relations. But i'll keep extending my hand out in friendship, should you stab it instead, well that should say volumes about you too.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Mentally*
Hey, careful not to blow our cover!

@Memory

*Mentally* Yeah, i get it, untill now you have let me do all the talking, i'm blunt not diplomatic... And all of this is taking a toll on me.

<Snipped quote by The Odeoron>

*Narrows my eyes*
Why are you even on this quest if you don’t want to get paid?

@Source

*Outloud* Because i want to find allies and help for my friend here who forgot his whole life... how is that not a good enough reason?
