[Adventure] Familiar Turf - A Puzzling Problem Part 2

[king_of_egypt]

Who: Atem & Open!
Where: Strange Rune and Sygil Covered Obelisk #29
When: Shortly after receiving word that the shape of the missing puzzle piece appears on this obelisk's texts.
What: This & Continued from this message

The large structure stretched vertically skywards into the heavens, it's similarity in form to the obelisks of Atem's time was striking, and peculiar. Just how many parallels could be drawn between the two lands? What was different however, were the inscriptions carved masterfully into it. Whether it was done by magical conjuring or the more tedious and methodical carving it was still exquisite and a sight that could strike awe into even the most casual of observers. The collection of runes and sigils that decorated it appeared archaic to him and he wasn't sure if he was familiar with their modern equivalents or not. Walking around the base, he looked for the shape that resembled the shape of the missing puzzle piece.

For another set of eyes and also to get a look higher up he bade his familiars to fly upwards and seek it out as well, while he awaited the arrival of any volunteers eager to help solve the mystery with him. Capricius chimed a dissonant cord of protest before capitulating.It was obvious that the gemstone familiar wasn't keen on all this attention being dedicated to the additional Millennium Falcon. What a relief it was that despite the aversion, it was one-sided. His second familiar had a more amicable personality and took no exception to the other.

Atem stood there for a few moments just watching the two as they flew around the obelisk.

Well, this looked like an adventure, and V needed some XP to pay for all this metamagic, so consider V signed up. The elf walked right up to Atem. "So what is the plot hook?"

Soon enough, Fluttershy arrived, riding on Ballet's back as the whale swam through the ground with Tango right behind. The familiar slowed as they drew closer, coming nearby and allowing Fluttershy to slide off and approach Atem.

"Hi, Atem," she said. "I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long."

Observing everything that happened in the place and not interacting directly had always been more of her style unless it had become necessary. And she wouldn't say she wasn't intrigued by the idea of a puzzle piece of some sort hidden on these grounds and perhaps it would be a time to get familiar with more people than just those that evidently had some sort of connection towards her.

The obelisk itself was certainly an impressive feature and she's barely catching herself almost straining her neck to see just what can be seen towards the top. And almost tripping, but catching herself just at the last second with a soft embarrassed cough.

Ah, there he was, easy enough to pick out from a distance.

"Admittedly, this was not the type of thing I was expecting to see in this place. But anything remotely familiar is something I'm willing to take." As a good sign, she supposes. Or something she should be involved in examining.
