OOC:
How many cyphers are we limited to carrying?
It is either 2 or 3, depending on your Type. For nanos such as Nim, it is 3 (written on your sheet).

"It seem settled then, our next step is this Dome. I'll let you finish in here and get us some direction in town."

Rohim make sure the trap is still deactivated and head back in town. He start asking around for directions for the Multifaceted Dome in the Northwest, using his picture as reference, until he get someone who knows the way there.

Nim carries the cyphers downstairs and rejoins the group, setting each item down in full display.
OOC:
Seeing as how I'm at my cypher limit and I don't think I'll switch anything out, does anyone want to indulge?

"I'm at my limit, too. Can anyone else make use of these?" Aduan them turns and heads out the door to help with the crates.

Nim says goodbye to the newly found items, sad that he could not find use to them. He heads out the door to rejoin the group and help out.

Rohim has a hard time and gets little information from the exhausted town folk, but the faceted done is well known and eventually he gets a rough direction to head. He also understands that it's an all day journey.

THE DESERT

The desert beyond the village is extremely flat and dry. Large beetle-like insects crawl across cracked earth, scuttling for shade beneath sagebrush and the occasional large rock.

"Sounds like water and provisions are going to be a must. Even if we don't stock up that much on food, we'll want to make sure we don't run out of water. Maybe we can rent a pack something or other to help us schlep our stuff?" As she's speaking, Raezhon looks at the sky and gauges the heat of the sun this time of year, trying to envision the type of conditions they'll face outside the shelter of the settlement.

I don't see any price for waterskin or things like that, is it included in the rations?

You could probably loot most of that from the tower if you're so inclined.

i like that idea
Rohim rejoins the group with the directions he found and stock water and food from the tower in his backpack for the travel.

"Day is still early, we can be there tonight if we don't waste time"

It's about eight hours march across the dry desert to reach the dome, but it is easy to find. It glitters and glistens in the sun during the day so that it can be seen for many miles. It is also exactly the same as the dome that was dreamed about and drawn later.

Near the dome, there are obvious signs of a fight -- churned dirt, bits of dried blood, a broken spear, some torn robes, and so forth. The robes are clearly the same as the Aeon Priest robes you would have seen examples of within the tower.

You also notice that a large group (some on foot, some mounted) came to this spot from the east and moved westward.

A Perception check may reveal more information.

Rohim observe the scene carefully.

There are strange symbols around the fight scene, crudely etched into the dry dust.

Nim also determines that the attackers were a margr band, who caught the priests outside the dome, charged in and attacked. Then, after the battle was done, continued west, but only after the superstitious abhumans put down the strange symbols as magical wards.
Feb 25, 2020 8:37 pm
As Nim studies the surrounding area his expression turns serious. "Margr... damn... and these symbols are wards, we best be careful." Nim looks for a rock to throw into the direction of the fight scene to determine anything more about the nature of these wards.

While the others take a closer look at the scene to determine what occurred Aduan focuses his senses on Numenera to determine if there is anything active here that isn't obvious.

Rohim goes around the marks and wards to check the dome, looking for an entrance, obvious or hidden.
Feb 26, 2020 5:09 am
Aduan senses no numenera in the area.

The dome is 20 feet (6 m) high and 130 feet (39.6 m) across, made of triangular faces of white crystal that are cool to the touch. There is no obvious door.
Feb 26, 2020 5:12 am
Rohim search the dome carefully for a hidden door or mechanism

Rohim finds no seams that would indicate some way in.
