[OoC: Simon will be translating for anyone who has difficulty understanding or speaking Ragamoll. Selina, have you put 1 skill point into Ragmoll yet? If you have then you can understand and speak it. Ragamoll is close enough to common where you can understand about half of the conversation. That's why it only requires 1 skill point instead of 2pts.]
[OoC2: Crozar, she called it the Sinking Ziggurat, not the Shining Ziggurat. ]
[OoC3: When Crozar and Simon were talking about The Torque (Cacotopic Stain) you would have likely learned this particular Torque area was formed about 500 years ago. There are two other Stains, one of which is 1000 years old! ]
"I don't know exactly why the Ziggurat is able to counter the worst of the chaotic effects of the Stain, or who built it. I've only seen it a few times, myself. But you can literally feel the energy radiating from the structure before ever laying eyes on it."
When Selina mentions being from another plane her eyes widen further. "From another plane? Is it possible the Stain is reaching out into the chaos to draw other worlds here? My home was caught in a Torque storm and before I knew it my entire farm was deposited in this cave. I'm not even sure where I am but it's obvious I'm on the outskirts of the stain." Suddenly there's a noise from behind the hut. It sounds like the grinding of metal on metal. Something large and rusty leaps out from behinding the hut. All of you recognize it as a triple bladed plow. All the blades rise up menacingly when suddenly a loud thud from a sturdy broom seems to knock some sense into it.
"Bad! Bad, Cul! Bad!" the old woman scolds. "These are friendly visitors not those other beasties. Now you apologize!" The animated plow shrinks away from the scolding blows. Then it seems to kneel slightly apologetically. The woman rolls her eyes and smiles. "Don't you hate it when your farm equipment gets protective?"
