Re: Heartsglade
"Oh," Sonori responded, thoughtfully. So people unusually skilled people (which was not necessarily the same as unusually powerful people), but not seers, or whatever the heck she now was. So she couldn't learn from their past experience. But nonetheless, it brought her all the more strongly to the conclusion that somehow she, like the unusually skilled people previously, was intended for this quest. "Okay. Thank you."
She wondered about the boy. Would he have had a similar ability had he touched any of the Stones? Could she maybe develop his ability?
For that matter, if she touched a stone multiple times, what would happen? Would she have another vision? Would it be a repeat of the same vision? Would it do nothing at all?
Which led her to wonder, if she touched multiple stones at the same time, what would happen? Would they interfere with each other? Would they enhance the effect, allowing her a longer vision or perhaps even one that added further clarity?
Probably it was best to start with the first idea, she decided. Find a place to spend some time meditating and concentrating and see if maybe somehow she could sense the stones. Two were nearby, so that might help, if she could somehow attune herself in that way. If her ability did potentially overlap with that boy's ability.
"I'm just assuming that the Locate Object spells wouldn't work on the Stones, or on the connecting element that completes the Pestle. Otherwise, they would long ago have been found, I would think. Can you confirm that from your past experience, Zarmatan? Or is that something we should explore?"
She also nodded to Neliwen, "Or we could escape into the water, if people have a way of breathing water. None of them followed me into the water."
