Catriona barely suppresses a scream when the trap is triggered. Nervously, she follows the birdfolk through the door.

Walking down the hall, you see that you are free from any further traps at this point. Upon arrival in the small room, you note that the crossed blades are exquisitely made. A sapphire sits in the pommel of each, the metalwork all polished silver.

Baraq tries to inspect the rest of the room, wary now of anything that might be triggered should the scimitars be moved.

Aera moves forward and begins looking over the crossed swords and the sapphires embedded within.

You don't notice anything that looks like a trap related to the swords.
Aera, to your glance, they really just like well-made, expensive, scimitars. Each gem would likely be worth an easy two hundred gold to a reasonable vendor, if they were by themselves.

Baraq picks the blade up and it moves easily. The balance is perfect and you can see the edge is still very finely honed. Upon closer inspection as you grasp it, you can see a small symbol carved into the pommel. The sapphire appears to be set in a polished ring, so this would be just on the very butt of the handle. A tiny compass figure is carved there. In the back of your mind you have this little sensation that seems to cry out "Ask me. Just ask me."

As you turn and ask, you see no other person entering the room. Again the thought pings the back of your head. "No, not who. That is the wrong question."

Baraq takes the other scimitar and holds both out in front of her. "Someone is talking," she says. "Someone I can't see."

Cocking his head to the side in confusion, Aera walks over to Baraq and looks around for any small people.

The bottom of the other blade bears the mark of a small hourglass on the pommel. As you grasp it, another voice joins it in the back of your head. "Hmmm. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Merely think and you will always be a winner."

"Two people talk now," says Baraq, looking around. "Do you not hear?"
Seeing that indeed, none of the others can hear these voices, Baraq intuits the source. "These swords. They speak. Here, you try." She holds out the compass-scimitar out to Aera and the hourglass-scimitar to Cat.

Aera, you hear in your head "Ask me. Just ask me." if you take the blade.
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.

Aera recoils in shock as the voice appears in his head, "Ask you? What should I ask you?" he says aloud.
Oct 1, 2018 8:15 pm
Baraq points at Aera. "Yes! That's what it said, you hear it!" She seems satisfied that at least one other person has experienced the same thing.
Oct 1, 2018 8:30 pm
Aera, in the back of your mind, you hear a voice. "Perceive and receive, information is yours if you want to know where not when."
Oct 1, 2018 8:46 pm
"Perceive? Receive? Where am I supposed to perceive? What information?" Aera asks aloud, more to keep his thoughts in order than directly in response to the sword-voice.
