24 Unndilar 835

The Tide of Ruidus and it’s crew sails through the Lucidean Ocean, staying south of the Swavain Island chain that separate the open ocean from the coast of Wildemount, making for it’s heading of Vide Cay. The day is spent researching and bonding with the crew, while the party enjoys a return to the ship.

Cassie discovers that the Exploring Speculum was crafted by Erathis, or at least marked with the symbol of Erathis, and suffused with all kinds of magic, but it’s activation is still unclear. The cloudy glass does not block the viewer’s reflection, but does obscure the area behind them, implying that it might have a two-way communication option. While experimenting and determining the best way to approach analysis, a strange voice says “It might have some damaging protection spells; we should just try to break it”. After snapping back all the reasons that wouldn’t be a good idea right now, she turns to realize that no one else spoke. The voice was in her head and it wasn’t Stone. It was Ezekiel.
