My lord, look at the recurring seal on these parchments. It is not merely record keeping. It is a navigational schematic for the Armory of the First Kings.

The Dark Arcana Caster
If you permit me to conduct the translation, I can pinpoint the entrance. I offer my service to decipher these texts, should you grant me access to the archives at Herma to cross-reference the dialect.
Unit Captain Brann
I will handle the escort. With that map, we could arm the entire guard in plate forged by the ancients. Just give the word, Kalazan.
The Caster extends a hand, awaiting Kalazan's seal of approval to begin the dangerous task of unlocking the armory's secrets.

SUCCESS (Legendary Willpower, rolled -3)
Kalazan
The air here is thick with stale dust and the lingering scent of ancient decay.
You begin the chant, your voice resonating with deep, rhythmic power. The vibration ripples outward, pushing back the oppressive gloom of the archive.
Golden light suffuses your words as you weave the zone of sweet air, clearing the stagnant miasma from the chamber.
The Dark Arcana Caster
The air... it tastes of spring rain. I feel the weight on my chest lifting, my lord.
Unit Captain Brann
The stench of the tomb is gone. My senses are sharp again. Give the word, and we march to Herma at dawn.
