Pearl looks to her companions and says "These mages and their followers may hold the answers to this unending mystery. We shall seek them out - In disguise, if you wish. We simply need to pick which mage to visit first, or, we can split up. The choice is yours."
For some strange reason one of the two Dr. Orions prefers to visit the white mage, while the other Dr. Orion prefers to visit the black mage. But both are fascinated, why they dont agree here, so they agree that this is a subject that should be researched! Or maybe they should try to summon a third Dr. Orion and listen to his opinion?
Now that you are disguised, cloaked, stealthed and totally not recognisible, and since you cant really decide which mage to visit, you go to the floor, that both mages are located on. Maybe you can make a decision, once there. But, as you arrive there after walking a lot of stairs, the entrance to the black and white mages floor is blocked by royal guards, belonging to the prismatic prince!
"Stop! Entering this floor is forbidden! The church of holy retribution and the dark cult are waging a war! By royal decree entering this floor is forbidden! The prismatic prince cares for his subjects and does not want anyone to get hurt or, worse, die, so no one may enter!"
New Quest: What now? Create a card repesenting your choice.
- "Let us pass!" (Force your way into the floor. You must FIGHT the prismatic guards).
- "Oh, we are leaving then" (Do something else and return to this floor later)
- Try to find out why the white and black mage are fighting each other.
And then:
Choose one or more and create a card representing your choice!
- Lets draw as much attention as possible!
If pearls enemies see that she is still alive they will come to us
sooner or later. And then we lure them into our trap!
- We should start our investigation by trying to find out who created the sarcophagus.
- Maybe we could ask the towers historian what happened after pearls "death" ?
- Since Pearl was poisoned we should try to find out more about the poison and who would be able to craft it.
- We could pay all former rivals of pearl a visit and find out what they know.
Pearl will attempt to probe the guards, asking why the two mages would be fighting. As the blue mage, she knows much about her fellow mages and may be able to infer why the two are fighting.
Quest still active: Create a card repesenting your choice.
When you ask the guards why the mages are fighting, he explains: "Its about some artifact or relic or so. You see, when the blue mage died under mysterious circumstances, both, the white and the black mage, claimed the posessions of the blue mage, saying they were friends in life and therefore, since there were no heirs, the magical books, relics, secrets and artifacts would belong to them now, cause thats what the blue mage would have wanted. But since the white and black mage have been enemies for a long time, they couldnt agree upon sharing, and so their ancient conflict escalated and now there is a war going on between them. Thats why the prismatic prince had all entrances to their floor closed, so they can sort out their diffrences without endangering any other inhabitants of this tower."
"Oh, that is really interesting, thank you. We will come back later then when this little war is over."
Choose what to do next:
- Lets draw as much attention as possible!
If pearls enemies see that she is still alive they will come to us
sooner or later. And then we lure them into our trap!
- We should try to find out who created the sarcophagus. Maybe we should ask around the artificers that live in the tower?
- Since Pearl was poisoned we should try to find out more about the poison and who would be able to craft it. Maybe we should ask the alchemists that live in the tower?
- Maybe we could ask the towers historian what happened after pearls "death" ?
- We could pay all former rivals of pearl a visit and find out what they know.

While you are still thinking about what to do next and walking around, suddenly a small dark and shadowy portal opens just in front of you and out of it falls a piece of parchment. Written on the parchment is "To the new blue mage" and it is sealed with the symbol of the black mage! As you pick up the parchment scroll and unfold it, it says:
"Dear unknown blue mage, you dont know me yet, but i was a good friend to your predecessor, a blue mage named "Pearl". When she and other people died one day under quite mysterious circumstances, most of her posessions were taken away by the authorities or plunderers. But Pearl left a testament, saying that her belongings should be given to her best friend, which would be me. But the white mage ignored Pearls wish and claimed that he was Pearls best friend in life and took away what should be mine. One of the items he took is a sealed book named "The Book of Forbidden Secrets". The white mage claims that this book is too dangerous to read it and that it should be destroyed, while i think, and you surely agree about this, that this knowledge should be used. Unfortunately this has lead to a small war between me and the white mage. But, if you would support my side, for example with some magical charms that can counter white magic or that would provide me an advantage, i can win this war, and we can both unseal this book and learn its secrets. If you agree, you can use the following symbol on this scroll to open a small portal which you can use to send your support for my side. Kind regards, M. ("The Black Mage")
An interesting turn of events, you think. But just after you have read the scroll send by the black mage, a shining spark of light appears out of nowwhere and as it vanishes you see that a small flying shiny spirit has materialized right in front of you. As you want to ask what this is about, the spirit starts to talk:
"No time, no time! Listen! To new blue mage! This message from Pelaria, known as white mage. Pelaria needs help against black mage! You new blue mage and white mage was friend of former blue mage, so Pelaria think you friend too! Pelaria ask for help and wants magical blue charms to fight black mage. Pelaria has evil sealed book of blue mage, but will give it back if you swear to not use the evil magic inside of it! No time, no time! Must give charms now! Spirit soon back to white mage!"
You must make a choice:
A. - Support the black mage, betray your white friend.
B. - Support the wite mage, betray your black friend.
C. - Support both, since both were your friends, but otherwise stay out of their conflict. Let them sort it out.
D. - Support none and probably lose the friendship of both.
Pearl will choose C, attempting to support both and the brewing conflict in order to cause distraction for the main goal of the mission - enter the level. She will message both of them to give them her full support.
You quickly write some simple blue spells on pieces of parchment and give them to the white spirit creature, assuring your support for the white mage. Happily the spirit disappears with them, probably back to its master, the white mage.
Then, after the spirit is gone, you write exactly the same spells on some more pieces of parchment, together with a note that you will fully support your friend, the black mage, in this. Then you use the symbol on the black mages scroll to open a small shadow portal and throw the spells and the note into the portal.
You smile, as you think about your clever action. Whoever will win this war, will be thankful to you. And this "Book of Forbidden Secrets" sounds quite interesting, though you dont remember that you had such a book.
But what now? You think about your options ...
New Qest: Choose one! (Optional: Create a card representing your choice.)

Desmodius and the two Dr. Orions are undecided about what to do next.

Give control of target creature you control to target opponent. Whenever that creature takes or deals damage, surveil 2 and draw 2 cards.
I might be in mood to rejoin by October this year.
i am fully ready to conclude this saga that quite literally started my journey on the forums. It’s been real!
