Go ahead and give me a general intelligence check, Aera.

You manage to catch sight of the engraving once more. It's very clearly a compass, though upon further inspection, you can see a tiny little dot near one end with a drip of blue lacquer paint inside of it. You wonder if the asking has something to do with directionality.

Jabes.plays.RPG says:
"What is it telling you?" Cat asks Baraq, wide-eyed.
dramasailor says:
Cat, you hear in your head "Hmmm. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Merely think and you will always be a winner." if you take the blade.
Cat doesn't touch either of the the blades. She just pesters the birdfolk with questions: "What's it saying? Is it the sword or the statue? Is it speaking in common speech? Does it sound human? Man or woman? Does it sound magical? What's it saying???"

Baraq keeps the hourglass-scimitar. "This one wants food," she says, tilting her head inquisitively at the blade. "It must have a mouth, if it is speaking."

Aera straps the scimitar to his belt loops and points to the compass, "Directions."

"A sword is thinking about food?" Watching the others attempt to make conversation with the blades, Xavena stands and watches them for a few more minutes before taking some more dried provisions from her pack and having herself a snack.

As you sit and eat, the blades you hold repeat their statements, but more quietly than before. Other than that, everything is still and quiet.

Baraq shrugs, and holds onto the meal-thinking sword. She looks around the room to see if there is anything else of interest.

If nothing else is found here, then Aera will lead the party through the next door.

"Is this what all dwarves do with their dead? Seems a waste to leave a hungry, talking sword here. Or perhaps it was left here because it wouldn't stop talking?"

"It is getting annoying," says Baraq. As a test, she tries putting the sword into her bag to see if that shuts it up.

Putting the blade into your bag doesn't seem to quiet the little quips in the back of your head.

You approach the door with the crown, pushing lightly. It slides backwards effortlessly and slides into the floor soundlessly. In the room beyond is a statuesque dwarf, one that stands taller than any human you've met, clearly one meant to be a hero. A suit of plate armor covers the figure, a crown atop his head, a warhammer held aloft in one hand with a scepter in the other.

There is an etched platinum plate on the base of the statue, it reads "Lorgear Plateforge, Lord of the Long Reaches".

"I expected longer arms," says Baraq. She looks to see if the scepter in the statue can be removed.

Aera will fly up and try to remove the crown
Oct 15, 2018 8:21 am
"Do you think that's it, then? The crown the Baron hired us to find?"

Baraq chirps, "I thought we wanted stick."

As you try to remove the crown, you note that it really isn't possible to be removed. The scepter, however, looks to be removable.

"Hat is not even shiny," says Baraq, dismissively.
