*A bulletin is put up around Cordor*

The Ministry of Magic has been working tirelessly around the clock researching the odd obelisk that has emerged from the northern Central District. After hours of observation and testing, we have determined that the object does not pose any immediate threat to the city or its people. We are working on a way to remove it, but it seems to be very resistant to our magic. We urge citizens to avoid the near vicinity for safety purposes.

If anyone has information regarding the removal of said obelisk, please contact the Ministry at the Commonwealth Center.

"..."

Ellipses were perhaps the only response the Captain of the Guard's adventuring division could muster or fathom at the sight of this bulletin. She stood there in the quiet of a very early morning, preparing for her shift and reading the bulletin nearest to her home. Eventually, she took a few stiff breath, put her helmet on, and marched into the Cordorian fog to go to work, muttering.

Upon viewing this notice, a short, brown-haired man in plain attire is seen walking to the Commonwealth Center. However, he hesitates at the door, and eventually turns back.

Later, one of the notices in Cordor's East District seems to have been augmented. Seven words have been added, their penmanship poor and the ink with which they're written of low quality.

There is a way. Yours won't work.

Having read this notice, Tuomas palms his face.

~Right, time to begin getting things organized. ~ he thought to himself, mumbling as he placed a seperate notice up in Cordor's Auction Hall, alongside arranging for it to be placed in other public places.

Jack Tesilent glances over one of the notices as he leaves the Hostel in the mid-afternoon. He sighs and returns to the Hostel, drawing up another letter to his supplier of Lead ingots.

*a report is given to Rose by a secret agent of the Horsemen concerning Cordor's stance on the obelisk after reading it she shakes her head and can't help but to laugh in disbelief*

"There blinded by there walls, thinking there safe. I can understand they don't want to create a panic, but whats coming from this summoning circle, *sighs* walls won't stop and they should warn there citizens.", she mutters to her self. She then goes about writing a letter, penned in the hand of a graduate of the most prestigious finishing school in Faerun.

(I admit the oddity of the setting and partial topic of the pose, but please bear with me)

After a brief and awkward moment of carrying out Iron from Reh'cra's room, Tuomas quietly sat in the Shrine of Eilistraee as the sun was going down. He carefully worked the magical incantations of a spell known as 'Fabricate' over some Iron, slowly forming something out of it, in the shape of a large leg.

~.. Plans , they're funny aren't they. They always need to be re-thought, always need to be reconsidered, and sometimes need to be scrapped. ~ he thought to himself as he continued to work on the artisanry project laying before him. His plan to rid the island of the Obelisks hit a critical snag, one he should've been considering but hadn't until after Ulrik and Riia had spoken to him.

~.. The Obelisks siphon magical spell energy before completion of the spell without causing any other effect. Physical force is rebounded if not additionally magnified, creating a secondary hostile reaction.. ~ Tuomas thought to himself as he continued working on the Leg, shaping it with his Arcane will while his thoughts, forming the shape of the leg he had been working on slowly but surely.

It could be debated that this was a purer form of artisanry, like Magic. The raw material more directly molded to the will of the Caster. However.. Magic was a gift, just like the ability to artisan as Tuomas was now. He seemed to let his blend of logical recollection and knowledge of Iron golem designs quietly guide his mind as he continued to fashion the leg with great care.

~.. This project is something I can't give up on, no matter what happens .. not at all. ~ he thought to himself, mumbling as he concentrated on forming the leg out of the Iron he was working with. ~.. So many people came to the meeting.. so many people who want to see this land safe from the darkness of the Obelisks... I won't give up.. Gond teaches us to act, not shudder and cower when things go amiss.. in spite of my being so tempted to do just that. ~ he thought to himself, continuing to focus on his work, until the Leg itself had been finished.

Smiling to himself, he set it aside and made a note on a worklog for Mayae of the Shrine of Eilistraee.

~One leg down, the rest to go. ~ he thought, quietly plodding his way to the bed at the Shrine which'd been set aside for him. He then paused, a moment.

~.. Wait a moment.. could I.. ~ he paused, formulaic information bolting through his head like lightning. He quickly ran to his spellbook beginnign to pour through it , mentally seeming to be almost skipping ahead of his readings.

Tuomas checked in at the Shrine to let them know he arrived before promptly going to work on Fabricating the other Leg for Mayae's golem, pondering to himself.

~Dicho's Shrine.. I wasn't familiar with it before.. it may be worth visiting a "Legend Lore" upon the site.. but it does match the centrepoint of the Obelisks... when I can focus, both spells will be of use here. ~ he thought to himself as he fabricated the leg for the Golem , fashioning it of Iron like the first.

Finishing the Fabrication without much trouble on that leg, Tuomas began working on the hips , designing the construction to fashion the entire lower body together without incident.

~.. Will it be too late by the time i've worked it out? ~ he asked, connecting up the pieces completely.

*A letter would be found attached to a notice board in the market hall*

Oooh, a random obelisk pops up 'randomly' and is resistant to magic or other forms of removal and it's hastily deemed not-a-threat to society to curve the possible panic that would ensue if only they realized;

A (Censored) OBELISK with Unknown Markings has 'Randomly' Popped up, it's not a (Censored) tree for Ao's sake, and if someone took the time and trouble to make it then someone or something intentionally meant it to be there in the first place! On this plane of being at these exact times no less.

...but oh, no worries, the ministry has declared it a non-threat because it hasn't done anything yet.

..like explosives, before they're lit. -harmless.

*the note is left unsigned*

---A few lines later----

*scribbled in a corner, using another pen and writing style*
That's the Ministry for yea.

*Valkin would be seen wander though Bendicty dressed in his blue and gold mystrans outfit, he casually interacts with those around him an when left alone he makes his way up to Dicho's Shrine, hear he sits an examines it making notes, an any enchantments around it would be assessed, as well as its own magical nature*

*valkin returns to his sanctum an continues to research the obelisks the shrine trying to formulate more sens to his findings. However then valkin attempts to send a message to Terzaroch & Thornius, by sending, an by sending of devil/demon to locate them.*

*Due to reports of further increased unauthorized Taller Activity beyond the form of the ever persistent Horsemen, Nina has been seen guarding the crystal for nearly a week now, only breaking if relieved by the Regulars of Bendir Dale's Militia or her fellow Captain, Lyam.*

*When off duty, she sends word to Tuomas about putting their plan into action.*

While not at the Khalem, making his usual rounds about the Dale, or attending to private matters in the Hinn Inn. A tired and more quiet than normal Lyam can be seen trading shifts at Dicho's Shrine.

*Horsemen can be seen camped out around the Dale here and there at different times of the day or night. It's nothing official, no signs or checkpoints posted up, they're just seen more frequently.*

For a short time there was a group of visitors, mostly Dalesfolk, as well as another Gnome, a human and a Drow visiting the Crystal known as Dicho's Shrine.

Shortly after , they return down from the hill, having completed their business. After they left, a multi-coloured hemisphere warded the Crystal, completely obscuring it from view.

*Nina leaves orders that any Horsemen, or Tallers, for that matter stopping to loiter near or walk up the pathways leading up to the crystal, and graveyard be kindly asked to move along by the guardsmen on duty. Nina leaves her familiar Pixen, a Pseudodragon, to lend her keen eyes to those on duty as often as she is able.*

*Xal investigates the site of the former Cordorian crystal. He examines the surrounding markings with his bardic knowledge

Attempts to figure out the source of the magics coming from the circle.

and finally seems to conduct a small ritual with a pentacle. (Yos knows what that would be about)

*upon meeting Nina or a guard she would say "Captain Lyam is aware of our presence and that the Horsemen have been -very- helpful in attaining the evidence thus far gained." She then would then smile and say, "however, Of Course, I'll not be but a moment, then I'll be on my way.", then walks into the Town Hall pulling out a scroll as the door shuts*

Semi-regularly, patrols would be conducted past the former site of the Obelisk in Cordor by the redheaded Captain of the Guard, and likely other members of the city's defenses. It would be requested of the nearby Corporals (members of the Regular's division who maintain posts in the area throughout the day) to watch the area and to try and prevent tampering from random passersby.

Awakening from an extended stint in the healing pool at the Salandran Temple, having come from the Wharftown Obelisk Burned all over, three broken limbs, and apparently having been stabbed through the middle as well as a deep cut across his chest, Tuomas smiled to himself briefly, in spite of the pain.

~.. A dream... Dark figure setting flames to various parts of the island.... Terzaroch maybe? Small animals and Forest creatures fleeing.... the danger to the Innocent.... The stars in the sky crying tears which put out the fires.... the gems maybe? ~ he seemed to ask himself in query.

"Charity.. Temperance.. Patience.. Humility.. Diligence..Chastity... Kindness... I have striven for all of these.. faltered at times but I have striven for them. In their invocation, I was able to endure the barbs and temptations of the Devil Terzaroch .. perhaps , I shall find wisdom and know the true peace of Exaltation. he said to himself in Celestial, before quietly settling to continue resting his burned and broken body.
