Session 5: Exploring Aquaveil

We are all set up for the festival.
The children are having a lot of fun.
Talia is giving them stickers.
Soot is helping the fireworks go off.
Lee is playing the hurdy gurdy.
Shurr is helping the electricity to show the lights off. I assume. They're missing, but...they are out there somewhere.
Our performances have gone well.
 
Mary is alone...but we promised to keep her company.
I should go over and ask if she wants to walk around and see the festival.
...I was afraid she'd say no, but she has accepted. I'm glad. She seems a bit melancholy.
 
Elder Kaelen Wavebinder has told us that today, the day of the Winter Solstice, is the perfect day to explore the catacombs.
So we shall....
Without Xiu Mei, who Elder Kaelen needs to stay with him.
 
Holes. Crystals. The stars above. The elder talking about how today is the best day to enter....
Match the crystals to the stars.
Yes. It worked. Simple. I understood those instructions.
 
The catacombs hold...deep and ancient lore.
 
There is an obelisk. It has symbols of fire, ice, wind, and earth.
It's icy here. Make them all be ice. It worked.
 
New room has multiple mirrors.
Images on walls.
Pool of starlight in the center.
Ice door at the end frozen shut.
Point the light with the mirrors to the right images.
The door is now free.
 
Images of all six laws in this next room.
Bowls and containers....
Put something of each element into the containers.
 
...Corrupted ice elemental.
Why is it here? Did they know about it? Is this a test?
 
We can change the field to our advantage.
Everyone is doing well.
It just shrank. It's kinda cute.
Mmm it's dealing a lot of damage to the front liners.
But we can do this.
...And we've done it.
 
Hmm... Elder Kaelen is suddenly here.
Yeah...it was a test.
I knew that elemental was cute.
It is a pet.
Its name is Spikey.
And we are to take a gift....
I will take the crystal. It reminds me...of him.
 
Today has felt like we all worked great together.
I am proud of everyone.
Though I never doubted a single one of them.
 
Lee never had friends either....
I understand his turmoil.
Wait...are they...we are friends? All of us? Does that include me? But...I'm not.
uhhhhhhhhhhh
Kaelen is pushing me towards them. I guess it does...include me.
