Is the blood wet, or dry? This is important.
Either way, I want you to create a vial and collect some of it.
Then check the chest.

>>170395
Okay, now... be careful not to disturb the circle, and make sure everyone else knows not to as well. Look around the room a bit.

>>170395
You should all observe the circle very carefully see if you can't tell how it was exactly supposed to work.

Cecil, if you haven't told Gene about your theory with Amy and Rai, now's the time.

>>170397
Once you've taken a sample to keep, I want you to take another and bring it outside the circle.
We want you to try to heal the blood back into a person. Specifically, we want you try and regrow part of the body from this blood, then freeze the rest so it will keep while you rebuild your mana.

@Alex Could you gather up the Red Tincture dust around here? There's a lot of it.

i am also REALLY starting to wonder what's in those Phoenix Downs that they can resurrect people while this huge mess couldn't.

Cecil gathers a small sample of the blood.

>Unless I cast Zeroon there's no way I can heal someone this far gone. and even then who knows how much Mana I'd need.

>"Alex, see if you can make a Stone out of this dust."

"I was thinking the same thing mya. But whatever was in this stuff is all gone now."

>"Darn.."

He examines the room. It's empty except for the chest. It seems to be locked.

>>170408
Call RJ and Felix over to examine it, but NOT try to open it.
Meanwhile, take Alex and Nari over to a corner of the room and pool your resources to cast Zeroon. Use a bit of your soul as Dark Mana so you three won't be completely out of mana, then Soul Heal yourself afterward.
Also, you still have those mana potions with you.

If it's somebody you know, then cover them in a robe and use a Phoenix Down on them.

>>170408
Do you recognize the symbol there? Is it a magical lock, or perhaps RJ can just pick it.

Cecil, we haven't seen the red stone cast a spell directly, only though the cell stones... and those were rather powerful themselves. What say we cast Zerloon from it and see how that works out?

I want to be reasonably sure we won't bring it back the demon though. Because, you know, demon.

don't try opening that without the key. it will probably do something really bad.i suggest we take it out and then use magic to smack it open from a distance.

>>170411
And Chel. Plus Gene if he's willing to help - just point out that it could be Lord Z's blood, since we've confirmed that he's dead.

I think I'd rather use the Red Stone than Dark Mana.

>>170411
>>170414
If we're going to do this, we should just use the red stone. Dark mana is the last resort, period.

>>170425
Use a Phoenix Down on her and get out a robe.

@Alex & Cecil: Can any of you ID this person?

Cecil uses the Red Stone and casts Zeroon. The spell works at 40%. the rest of the mana it needs is drained from Cecil leaving him feeling very weak. The body of a young girl forms from the blood.

>"Woah...."
"Mya!?"

The others are too busy fiddling with the lock to notice what has happened.

>>170427

-> >>170426

>>170427
Is that Amy? We've got Phoenix Down, so... make sure everyone is on alert then try using it.

Also you might want to try getting her some clothes. And drink a mana potion.

>>170427
Success! Use that phoenix down already!

Cecil covers the girl up with her robe and uses a phoenix down. Nothing seems to happen

>Huh?

>>170435
Uhm... When you used the phoenix down on Felix, it did something other than that, right?

>>170435
Well, either the long dead can't be restored like this, or her soul is not retrievable.

Can you tell us who this is?

Oh, and check her pulse. Is the body alive?

>>170435
Huh... this sucks.

[To I Shop owner]
Why might a phoenix down not work on someone? Just because they have been too long dead, or something else? Is there a way to get around it? Because if we can get this to work then a certain king, who will remain nameless, should be rather thankful.

-----------------------
>Bothering me again stranger? If the phoenix down ain't workin it's cause that soul is no longer around. It's either been eaten or... Placed somewhere else.

Cecil! What if that box houses her soul? Or a piece of it? There is soul magic that works along those lines, if you can open it perhaps we can revive her.

..Open it with the goldeon dagger if you have to. Be wary of it being trapped or something though. Try cutting into the bottom of the box, or top if you can't move it.

>>170441
@I Shop Owner: Then I have an odd request. How much would it cost to have you research a spell which is capable of pulling the barest fraction of a body's soul from when they were last together and healing the gap that would have left?

>>170441
Sorry for being a pest. If this all works out we'll eventually be able to compensate you with more than just money. After all, knowledge is your real bread and butter, yes?

I Shop

>Sorry stranger. I don't make spells, I sell them. You'd wanna ask a master of Soul Magic about that. A little birdie told me you had the Goldeon Watch. I'd advise using it before bringing back the dead. If it shows a normal spiral of life there should be no problem in bringing them back to life. It it shows anything different then it'll be next to impossible. If you brought back someone like that you'd just have a useless body on your hands.

>>170444
>I suppose so.

>>170445
Ah, well... Check the next room over.

>>170445
If you know that, then do you know if it has a function capable of showing us the state of a body's soul? Or what its true name is?

@Master L:
Look familiar? -> >>170427
We're at the school of magic.

@Cecil Leave RJ and Felix to their work, while you take the others to the next room.
Amy can stay here for now.
Can you understand the meaning of the symbol on the chest?

>>170447
[don't show rai that. her soul isn't here and unless we get her alive it will be a dick move.]

[To Chel]
Do you think this could be a box that houses a piece of a soul? How should we retrieve it if it is?

>>170447
@Cecil, Alex, Chel, and Felix
OH! Can you tell us the name of anybody whose soul was consumed by a soulless?

Chel: Can you tell us what the extra line on this spiral of life signifies?

>>170454
There you are! What the fuck man. Seriously.

Well nevermind, look us psychic stone wandering head voices used a sentient rock laced with the remains of the shard you gave us and we just managed to restore Amy's body in the ruins where Rai tried to raise her and screwed it up. Seems the soul isn't available right now but we think a piece is in this nearby box. We can get it open, probably.

Before we do, you got input on any of this?

>>170454
@Master L:
We suspect her soul is in this chest: >>170408
If you know how to open it safely, that would help.
You know where we are if you want to help.
Oh, also, can you tell us the true name of somebody whose soul has been destroyed?

>>170454
Good to see you're back on your feet again.

Do you know what's in the box in... THAT room? It's something 'alive' apparently.

>>170460
@King Rai:
What's in this box? >>170408
How can we open it?

Master L casts Move Earth

ummmm master L is on his way. he says don't touch anything till he gets there but he will explain everything. he is at fai's mountain and is moving earth at like, mach 2.

>>170471
@Master L
Curb your enthusiasm! We only managed to restore her body! Her soul's not in it!

@All party members: Stop what you are doing. Master L is on his way, and explicitly told us that nobody is to "move a muscle".
Since he could skoosh us like bugs, I would advise doing what he says.

>>170473
Did you see those glasses?!
He doesn't NEED to curb his enthusiasm!
He'll manage with to bring her back to full.

He soon arrives at the school

>Man.. This place has seen better days. Now where the heck is the entrance..?

>>170835
Under the eye symbol. Rocks covered it over since the others went inside.
Think you could shore up the structure a bit? We've got a lot of work to do here, and collapses aren't going to make our work any easier.

>>170835
It's right there, under the symbol for the magic school.

Oh no, that rubble wasn't there before. Something's happened! We heard something on the roof earlier, and maybe it's done this... At any rate, get that rubble out of the way or carve yourself a new entrance.

>>170840
L's got plenty of power. The best solution is to put the rock back in place and bring the walls back to their original strength. Any other option would almost certainly cause another collapse, which could kill Amy and everybody else in the area.

oh damn

I get the impression Amy was supposed to stay dead.

Man, don't hurt us L we just cast Zeroon on the blood and it turned into a girl and we haven't opened the box or the circle so just calm down don't panic DON'T PANIC

>>170835
You haven't been here since the attack huh? I'm rather wondering why you or Rai haven't been here and picked through the place already. I mean it sure as hell wasn't easy, but one of you two could have at least figured out a way to bring back Amy by now.
