Alf pushes the Ruby, which moves to A1. He then pushes the emerald, which moves to C2. Finally, the sapphire moves to D3.

I also like the two quests of yours, Sandy. But the anachronisms are killing me!

Alf pushes the aquamarine 11 times. It's path is as follows, starting from spot 2B: 1B 2B 1B 2B 1B 2B 1B 2B 1B 2B 1B He then tries moving the emerald and the sapphire, but neither are moving.

"Er... sorry everyone. I don't really think this battle is worth fighting, seeing how powerful the enemies are. I think we should use a smoke bomb."

QM Note: You're still going to have to be more specific. Would you like to push the Aquamarine 11 times, and then push emerald 12 times, and then push the sapphire 12 times?

QM Note: You're going to have to be more specific, or move one gem at a time.

Alf pushes the ruby 10 times. From it's starting point in the top middle alcove, the ruby goes: Right one space Appears at it's original position (top left) Right one space Right one space Top left Top middle Top right Top left Top middle Top right Alf and Namrrya inspect Edward's medallion. The family heirloom depicts what seems to be a boat of arms: two crossed swords in front of a torch and an eye. The medallion doesn't appear to have anything to do with the gems and the wall.

Atramor pushes the Ruby again, which sinks in and reappears in the alcove above the aquamarine, in the middle column.

Atramor and Namrrya push the pedestal with the aquamarine. It also sinks in, and reappears in the second-highest alcove in the middle column. Namrrya then tries to push the emerald, but it doesn't move.

Alf digs, and finds nothing. Ellaria pushes the ruby, and the pedestal sinks back into the wall. The ruby reappears in the top right alcove.

Hybros tries pressing the buttons.

Hybros had never seen such a piece of technology before. The device was puzzling. "Yes, we better take a look".

The sapphire doesn't move. "Ribbt, maybe it has something to do with the elements? Ribbit."

Some of the party members place their gems in the pedestals, but nothing happens. Alexis talks to the frog. "Ribbit. I've seen this door opened many times. Unfortunately us frogs have *ribbit* very poor memories, so I can't remember how the gems go. Have you tried pushing them? I think that's what the wizard does."

Alf catches the frog, and presents it to Alexis. Nur blows on the Sapphire, but the gem remains still.

Or maybe you should just quit poking me!

Oops.

Alf searches. He doesn't find anything out of the ordinary except for a frog in the overgrown foliage. It croaks in curiosity at the large man.

Oh, yes, and: Jeb also removes a medallion that the fallen Edward wore. The golden trinket depicts what looks like a family crest. Atramor tries removing the sapphire, but it doesn't budge.

No one in the party is experienced enough to track, so Nur leads the heroes, Thimlin, and Whales North. They come to another clearing, but instead of more branching paths they are greeted by a large stone wall. The wall appears to be artificial, but plants of all sorts are crawling over it. Inside the wall are twelve pedestals in alcoves. On the the left column are four gems: a ruby, an aquamarine, an emerald, and a sapphire, from top to bottom. What will the party do?

"Remember, the Bonapartes said that they could use our help if we could give it to them. I say we buy ourselves and our allies some more time by taking out those cannons."

Thanks for the game, everyone! And thanks for letting me play! You are never going to hear the end of this.

Atramor shakes Edward by his collar, but the man doesn't reply. The Rogue realizes the enemy has no pulse.
