Exploring the Azure Battalion's Armory
Amé, Ursula, and Suvi visit the armory of the Azure Battalion. The armory is unexpectedly elegant, with cozy wooden rooms and well-appointed study-like spaces. They find magical coats, war staves, boots, and rings, but some items bear the crest of the Azure Battalion. Ursula tries on various coats and boots, but finds none that fit him. They also discover magical bandanas called Fire Veils for protection against dangerous magical smoke.
Arriving at the Calabel Mantic Apparatus
The group boards a ship to the Calabel Mantic Apparatus. Guildmage Morrow informs them that Guildmage Payne escaped capture, but a bounty has been placed on him. Morrow then leads them to the top of the apparatus where a grand display of purple and green lights is set in motion. The lights create a swirling vortex beneath the apparatus, illuminating a massive and mysterious creature with red and cream stripes and bioluminescent lights. Coral is carved away from the creature's body at the base of the derrick, revealing a structure that reverberates with energetic waves.
Welcome to the apparatus. Have a cigar. Or maybe a matchstick. Want a drink of water? Some new clothes? No? What's the matter, you don't like it down here? Don't be silly. Lie down. Stay awhile. We've got a lot of catching up to do. There ya go. That's the spirit.
