Tommy grinned. “See? Between a Dragonbound Elementalist and, well, being in the lair of an ancient Dragon, I figured it wouldn’t be *too* hard to get our hands on one of we needed it.” He shrugged. “I’d still rather the orichalcum. Hmm. Lemme tink. I kin do summat…” He paused with a frown. “I’m sure I can find a use for the tear even with the orichalcum. If nothing else…” The Gamer looked at Alyson. “Have you ever used a Mana Stone?”
"Uh? No. I have not used a Mana Stone except in a video roleplaying game," she replied.
"No? We might want to see about making one for you. The battery variety, that is. The enhancers are more difficult to make and, in my opinion, not as good a return on investment." Tommy shrugged. "But that can wait for later. Even the quick and dirty method would take several hours to make one worthy of the name. And I'm getting rather tired of slapdash improvisation and field expedients."
Seemingly out of the shadowy darkness of the cavern through which she previously passed, Aurilaz obediently yet silently rematerialized before the Wolfen and bowed her head low once more, "What is thy bidding, my Mistress Master?"
"I have need for some orichalcum," Kana told her. "That is if you have any."
Levitating a small chest from the bottom of her chamber over to the Wolfen and placing it at Kana's feet, the Black Dragon declared, "This chest contains the orichalcum that you seek. Is there any other way that I may serve you, my Mistress Master?"
"Thank you, but no. That is all," Kana said. "You may go back to resting."
Casting a glance over to the fire-stone dragon, Aurilaz snarled at Quake, "And what are you doing here? I did not permit you entry into my domain. Begone, Little Wyrm, unless you wish to suffer for your trespass."
"EEP!!" Quake backed away from the much larger dragon making a hasty retreat, "HEY! NO PROBLEM! I'LL JUST BE ON MY WAY...OUT OF HERE!!"
"I called for her," Kana told Aurilaz as she brought the chest to Tommy. "And I will send her on her way," then to Quake, "If you could go and keep an eye on V for us."
The Gamer accepted the small chest from Kana. "Thank you." Popping the lid, he gazed at the white-gold metal within. "Shiny. Okay, speaking of quick and dirty field expedients…" He glanced around once more, sizing up their assets. "Here's the basic plan: I cast a quick Circle – I'll need Sterling, Alyson, Serna and Willow Bark with Kana's Bow at the Quarters – and prepare the orichalcum." He looked at Kana. "Under the circumstances, I think the best way to do this is paint some runic tattoos on your skin. They'll facilitate transferring the physical link from the Talisman to your body, and keep it stable." Tommy frowned for a moment, thinking. "Alyson, how quickly can you store some elemental energy in the tear? It doesn't need to be a lot, but it needs to be a good balance of energies."
