Ithillian Turambar

At some point we will go back and learn thr fire, air and earth spells. And probs some more water and Spirit spells.

On a side note, it used to take AGES for parcels to be delivered to Turin when he lived in America.

Iron Bru is a Scottish Drink and it's made from girders lol Or at least that is what the adverts said

Turin is correct I do like English Breakfast. Yorkshire Tea is also very good. Care packages for proper tea, Cadburies Chocolate and Iron Bru can be arranged.

We respect the fallen Story: You kneel in silence and draw a symbol into the dust of the temple floor. With the Orb of Purity in one hand, you trace a spiral wrapped in waves—the ancient mark of respect and remembrance for those who gave their lives in service to the elements. As the sigil forms, it pulses with soft light. For a moment, you feel warmth in the air—acknowledgment from the spirits who have now passed fully beyond. A faint ripple of power moves through the chamber, and the glow from the newly revealed rune at the mechanism intensifies, as if empowered by your act of honor.

The elemental rune at the mechanism now glows brighter—further unlocking the path ahead. Next Choices: Activate the elemental mechanism while the rune is fully empowered. Search beneath the dais for the sealed passage. Prepare your spells before engaging the hidden chamber. Attempt to scribe the rune into your notes or map. Take a short rest in the sanctified chamber.

We will do a Columbo and ask just one more question Story: You bow your head toward the fading spirits and reach out with a single, focused thought: What lies beyond the sealed passage? The sea-glass-eyed champion turns slightly, her form flickering. A flood of emotion meets your question—urgency, sorrow, and resolve. Then comes an image: a chamber of still water, glowing with ancient glyphs. At its center rests a relic—a core of pure elemental essence, guarded by ancient wards and tested only by those worthy in both Water and Spirit. The champion lifts her hand once more… and then fades like mist under sunlight. The echoes dissolve, but the weight of their message remains.

Next Choices: Activate the elemental mechanism now that all conditions seem met. Search beneath the dais for the passage the vision revealed. Prepare your spells before attempting to open the path. Leave a sigil in honor of the fallen champions before continuing. Rest briefly to recover before the final challenge.

Well there's a collection of words you really want to spell correctly.

Yes. I used to run a Potion Class as part of the Blue Ajah Harry Potter event. There were ingredients hidden in all the Threads and you could come back and choose what ingredient to use in your potion. Turin chose all of them, which was not an option lol So I turned him into a dragon.

I could not even make out the words on that but Turin checked and said it says, Look upon me in fear a dread. Scary Turin. Nothing changes lol

I completely forgot about that

Fine you can have Aqua Surge Level cool.

We talk to the spirits Story: You close your eyes and focus inward, but this time, you reach outward as well—toward the echoes you sensed earlier in your meditations. With Spirit at full attunement, the connection forms quickly. A soft whisper brushes your thoughts, not in words but feelings. You open your eyes and see faint blue silhouettes appear around the chamber: robed figures, long faded from the living world. Elemental Champions from ages past. One steps forward—a woman with sea-glass eyes and flowing robes—and touches the air before you. A vision floods your mind: her final moments in this temple, unlocking a hidden passage beneath the dais, guarding something too powerful to fall into the wrong hands. When the vision fades, a new rune glows at the edge of the elemental mechanism.

They revealed that the elemental mechanism guards a hidden passage sealed long ago—now partially unlocked by the new glowing rune. Next Choices: Activate the elemental mechanism now that the hidden rune has appeared. Search beneath the dais for the sealed passage. Ask the spirits one final question before they fade. Try casting Soul Veil near the spirit echoes. Mark the vision’s details in your notes before proceeding.

We try and get a new spell Story: You place the Orb of Purity in both hands and kneel before the glowing mechanism. Spirit and Water flow in harmony through your body—calm, clear, alive. The Orb responds instantly, growing warm in your hands as light pours from its center. Visions swirl through your mind: a healer sheltering the wounded behind a dome of shimmering energy; a spirit guide weaving through darkness to shield a companion’s soul. The light from the orb wraps around you like a gentle current—and then, knowledge settles within. You’ve unlocked a new spell: Soul Veil.

Next Choices: Attempt to activate the elemental mechanism using Water and Spirit together. Test the new spell near the temple entrance. Explore the Flow Path while spiritually enhanced. Attempt to commune with spirits now that you're attuned. Meditate again to see if further spells are hidden.

We smash everyth...... erm I mean we meditate some more Story: You go deeper. Your body feels light, almost insubstantial, as if the boundary between flesh and magic has thinned. Your relics—especially the Orb of Purity—vibrate with power. You stop trying to control the Spirit around you and instead allow it to flow through you. In this moment of surrender, you become a conduit. Visions flash through your mind: ancient elemental temples, champions long forgotten, the gentle hand of a healer and the fierce will of a protector. One voice whispers softly: “The soul is the bridge.” When your eyes open, the world looks sharper, quieter—and somehow more alive.

Explore the Flow Path with this refined spiritual perception. Attempt to unlock a spiritual spell using the Orb of Purity as a focus. Seek echoes of the past champions within the temple’s walls. Save your progress and rest briefly to reflect.

Every time I have to edit that level 8 so it doesn't turn into sunglasses lol Proof that this site is more old school than me 8 ) = 😎 if you don't have a space

I am old school. These are the tunes of my reckless youth lol But all the chanting works Story: Remaining in stillness, you slow your breath and let the hum of magic guide your thoughts inward once more. The air feels thick with unseen presence. You sense echoes of emotion—courage, sorrow, love, sacrifice—all carried through the flow of Spirit. The Orb of Purity pulses again, syncing with your heartbeat. You feel a sudden pull, like something awakening in your core. The threads connecting you to the world grow more tangible, more alive. You are no longer just wielding Spirit—you are beginning to embody it.

Your connection to spiritual forces now resonates naturally through your relics. Next Choices: Attempt to activate the elemental mechanism using Water and Spirit together. Continue meditating to reach a deeper mastery of Spirit. Explore the Flow Path while in this heightened state. Attempt to commune with any spirits that might reside in the Temple. Use your Spirit connection to examine the magical carvings further.

Am just gonna change the background music to this

I probably should have waited to have a coffee before trying to update anything lol

Ok I did a wobbly wobbly timey wimey thing and I have chosen the real voted choice on the last update. So sorry about that. Feel free to erase any mention of puzzles... definitely no puzzles to look at here lol And check your current choice 🙂

Oh dear. I think I forgot to check the right one. Let me see if I can back it up

Spawn

We are going full zen Story: You sit once more before the elemental mechanism, closing your eyes and breathing deeply. Rather than focus on the tides themselves, you focus inward—on intuition, memory, and unseen connection. Spirit is not a force of matter but of meaning. Time slows. Your relics respond. The Orb of Purity emits a soft pulse that vibrates in your chest. You feel an emotional clarity, like fog lifting from your mind. The stream of energy that binds you to all life strengthens, and for a brief moment, you sense distant presences—echoes of past elemental champions.

Next Choices: Attempt to activate the elemental mechanism using Water and Spirit together. Continue meditating to push Spirit further. Explore the Flow Path now with enhanced Spirit. Investigate the Orb of Purity for latent spiritual powers. Leave the mechanism and focus on a different area.

This is true. Around 15 hours to go. Also our clocks just went forward so I'm now on BST which means my usual 10pm Deadlines are an hour earlier for a lot of you. I'll pop a timer in, so please use that as DM does not have minute accurate timestamps anymore

Also it's times like this where I wish we had a 'wow" reaction to choose from.
