QUEST: Stand Proud
As the group approached the address Rodimus gave them, they would find nothing but old apartments and warehouses. There was nothing out of the ordinary, until they reached a certain five story warehouse. This was the place...but it was abandoned. There were no lights, shattered windows, and crumbling bricks. This building was in even worse shape than Libra Base was in. At the entrance of the warehouse, there was an African American man in a trench coat and pinstripe suit. He wore a pair of red-tinted glasses and a fedora that covered his dreadlocks. To those using magic, one would be able to feel his extremely powerful magical aura and to others, he exuded confidence and authority.
The man waits until everyone was at the entrance before introducing himself,“Welcome, my friends! You must be from Libra, that secretive organization with all their special people. Very similar to House of Life, but that is another matter. Welcome to the 21st Nome, formerly of the House of Life, now of the Magician's Guild in Millennium City. I am Amos Kane, the leader of this branch. Please, do come in, we have very important matters to discuss with not much time to discuss them.”
Amos turns around as the doors swung open by themselves to reveal a swirling portal. The magician ushers the group in.“Come, come! There is nothing to be afraid of, this is but the entrance to the 21st Nome.”
When you finally decided to step through the portal, you suddenly find yourselves five stories up at the top of the warehouse you were just standing before...only now, there was a gleaming mansion where the roof of the building should be. Amos comes through the portal after you and walks up to the massive doorway that guarded the mansion, filled by a thick wooden block. There were no handles to the door, but with a simple mutter from Amos, the wooden block disappeared.“Impressive, no? These are but a few of the many measures we have in place to protect our outpost.”
A majority of the group would pass through the doorway just fine, but some would find themselves walking into a solid wall of magic. It appears that the common thread between all these individuals would that they be of monstrous/supernatural descent, those who have extremely evil presences within them, and those wielding mythological items. Of these individuals, it appears that Sophitia, Kobayashi, Pallet, Felix, Audun, Vhyjho, Undyne, Papyrus, and Vlad were all stopped by the barrier. Amos looks back at the small group that was halted. He had an unamused look as he flatly said,“Ah, my apologies. Your nature, abilities, or equipment may have accidentally triggered the barrier. We keep it up to prevent...unsavory forces from entering. I will lower the barrier for but a brief moment.”
Amos mutters a few words as a hieroglyph appears on his fingertips and the doorway. The film of energy that kept the excluded at bay dissolved to form hole that was barely big enough to fit the largest of them. These people would have to move quickly, because otherwise, Amos would close the barrier once again. As they come in, Amos specifically calls out Sophitia,“You best watch out, young lady. Our gods do not have any particular fondness for each other.”As soon as one stepped in, whether or not they were late, they would be greeted by a large hall decorated with Egyptian symbols, furniture, and statues.
Amos gestures for the group to assemble at the center of the room.“I am sure that Rodimus has already told you this, but there is a certain meteorite that has crashed within our vicinity. Normally, this would be a matter for the police to handle, but we have detected very strong sources of magical energy coming from the meteorite in question. It has been making waves in the Duat since it entered the atmosphere. I would send my own people, but I am afraid that the Magician’s Guild has more important matters to address...such as a mutual enemy of ours. Thankfully, Libra was so generous to provide so many unique individuals for the job when I specifically requested a small team of trustworthy operatives.”
The magician frowns and becomes much more serious in tone.“Regarding that, I suspect that some of you who rely on spiritual or magical power might find something rather strange at the site, perhaps a new power or such. However, I warn you that you do not attempt use such powers. They are very much unknown to us and we cannot be certain of their effects. Recover any artifacts you find and be absolutely sure that you wield them to no capacity until we are able to analyse them. Any questions before you depart?”
