As a scholar of the Art, Kriv would clearly recognize that the stone was intentionally and carefully inscribed with a symbol that he's never seen before. Combined with the evidence of flashes of light and charred birds, along with Jaliera's report of Whisper's observations, it would be reasonable to assume there's certainly more to it than just being a rock. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,137 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator |  (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,137 Likes: 8 | Zhu

"I agree with far enough away that we won't be seen if someone comes looking for the weapon. However, we could set up our camp in such a way that we could keep an eye on it. I can also offer the same shelter I did the night before, which would keep us protected and might aid us in that endeavor."
He moved closer to the stone to glance at it; though he hadn't studied runes, he knew of their existence. Magic came in many forms, as he was well aware of being able to sing for his effects. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,336 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,336 Likes: 13 | DM
Zhu and Sindar both come to the same conclusion as Kriv. This is clearly a carefully carved rock that has recently shown evidence of being more than just a rock.
But just looking at it doesn't reveal anything special about it. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,121 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,121 Likes: 5 | Bern continued to keep his eyes directed 'out', searching for any 'incoming'.

Arus
Arus shifts the 10 kilo weight to his other hand.
"I am entirely happy for a keener mind to take this off my hands." he says with a smirk, offering the runestone to Kriv, Zhu then Sindar. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,137 Likes: 8 (Buffalo) Moderator | | (Buffalo) Moderator Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 22,137 Likes: 8 | Zhu
She glances at Kriv and Sindar and if there are no objections, she takes the stone and puts it in her pack. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,612 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 27,612 | Kriv
"Go ahead, though I might want to run some tests later." commented Kriv as Zhu looked askance. | | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,029 Likes: 10 Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator | | Chaotic Obfuscator Moderator Joined: May 2009 Posts: 15,029 Likes: 10 | Sindar
Once they have picked an appropriate spot, he sets about singing his song, this time just slightly off-key to see if anyone notices, and creates their magical shelter for the night. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,121 Likes: 5 Member | | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,121 Likes: 5 | <Bern>
He takes a moment away from his looking for incoming problems. He looks over at Sindar, eyebrow raised. It was ... out of character ... that 'off key' singing. It was not something that he had heard from him before. He shakes his head and returns his attention to the protection of their camp site.

Had he ever seen anything that resembled it? Had he heard of anything like it? Did he understand the principles? Could he utilise or recreate it?

From just looking at the stone, in particular the rune carved thereon, Kriv would recall that casting runes was a form of ancient magic practiced by dwarves and giants in millenia past. While the dwarven runes have made their way into more recent history that one might recognize, he would recall no specifics of Giants and runes beyond the fact that they existed long ago... and given the size of this artifact and how it was found, obviously still exist.
Given the magic observed associated with this stone, it may require more investigation than just looking at it to find out more. | | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,063 Likes: 9 Wobbly Headed Administrator | | Wobbly Headed Administrator Joined: May 2000 Posts: 13,063 Likes: 9 | Arus
It has been a long day's ride and Arus is happy to hear Sindar conjuring their magical shelter. The bard sounds a little rough though so Arus hands him a bottle of Goldengulp he'd brought from Yartar.

He accepts the bottle and takes a small sip. Holding the fragrant liquor in his mouth for a moment, he relishes the memories with his eyes closed. Swallowing slowly, he hands the bottle back. "That was a good time," he admits. "Thank you for sharing."

"Thanks Sindar. Useful spell that. Wonder if I could learn it?"

"Well you are welcome to look at my musical notes sometime, though it is less like a traditional spell book and more like a piece of sheet music." He winked at Jaliera. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,336 Likes: 13 Maris Imperium Member | | OP Maris Imperium Member Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 10,336 Likes: 13 | DMOOC: An uneventful night.
