You are now Saffron.

You find yourself in a room just barely lit by your own torch and the red glow coming from the room below. Illuminated is what looks to be a set of armor, gauntlet and pauldron. It shines with a blood-red hue in the light provided.

You carefully walk up to it, searching around the room for traps. The armor is set in a small recess in the wall, seeming to reach out from the stone pedestal it is sitting on. It has four fingers, and looks to be made of solid bronze with very small and intricate etchings. It is for a left hand. You can't get a look at the other side of it without moving it.

The pedestal itself is a disc of stone that the armor is jutting up from. It has some things inscribed upon it, but they are too worn for you to recognize any of them. After thoroughly inspecting it, there are no plates, levers, chains, or traps of any kind to be tripped.

Hah! I should've paid more attention to that show. It was pretty entertaining.

>>2850755
Take a closer look at that pedestal to see if you can make out any more symbols. Then do the same for the walls, ceiling, etc.
>>
>>2850755

Oh god oh god.

Saffron is carrying the jasper stone, right?

It should definitely go in the gauntlet before we put it on, but should we get back to our friends before or after we try this?

It's good to stick together. I think it depends on whether we can descend the chain while carrying the gauntlet.

2fast4me. I'd only gotten "stone united"
"stone united" probably refers to the jasper and the gauntlet and "ntrol" is probably "control", ja?
>>
>>2851145

2spooky.

If the gauntlet is "metal" and the ball is "stone," uniting them may give us some control.

Saffron is the only one who can get up here, so going down now will leave this place unexplored unless we come back.

I vote we open the door.

You don't need to use the gauntlet, and the door slides open to the left, albeit rather clumsily due to holding the heavy piece of armor. Ahead of you is an empty hallway that curves to the left.

>>2851329
You look closer, but most all of the writings on the wall are worn and illegible.
>>
>>2851504
see what's down that hallway
>>
>>2851504

The new letter at the bottom there looks like a combination of "C" and "H" in the fashion of "ND" and "TH" with the vowel "A" for "Cha." Just an idle observation.

We need protection if we're soldiering on alone. Slot the jasper into the gauntlet.
>>

I dunno, what if the gauntlet is cursed or something? I think we should just hold onto it until we get back to the others in case it starts doing something nasty they can remove it

>>2851690
Saffron is awesome, she can handle this. Besides what's the worst that could happen, we have another insane killing machine on a rampage.
>>
>>2851690
it would be better to put it on away from them, wouldn't want to end up hurting them would you?
>>
>>2851690

I'd be inclined to agree with you. But, this place needs exploring and she's the only one that can do it.

Truly, I'm torn.
>>
>>2851739
Keep in mind that Chance could probably climb up there too if he wanted.

But he most likely doesn't know we're up there.

You pull the stone out of your inventory and slot it in the hemispherical slot on the back of the gauntlet. It is more than a perfect fit. You wait, scared and impatient, but nothing seems to happen. You give the gauntlet a shake, and still nothing. Tilting the gauntlet, the stone rolls out of the slot and into your hand.
>>
>>2851859
Okay, so do those squiggles need to line up or what?
>>
>>2851859
Go down the hallway.

>>2851885
Either they don't, or we have the gem for a different gauntlet.
>>
>>2851859
It needs some kind of catalyst. Maybe we'll find it later, for now let's check out the new room

>>2851859
Must be the wrong stone. Put on the gauntlet and try again.

>>2851911
>put on the gauntlet

I'm assume their is a whole set of armor

At least 4 pieces, these two must not match up...

>>2851911
No.
>>
>>2851859

...Damn.

>>2851766

Good point. Chance is most likely at the gear room or in parts unexplored beyond that by now. He came down from above and passed us hiding in the room outside the spire.

I'd say we should stay together for safety but Saffron was absolutely petrified of him. I don't think she'd be able to help much even if he came back. The ponies will have to make do for now. Carry on down the hallway.
>>
>>2851953
Or maybe it needs all the pieces and gems corresponding to it

Fine. Lets head down that hallway. pussies

>>2850904
>>2851953
A breast plate, a set of wings (maybe that has something to do with chance's hate of flying things) and a breastplate of sorts.
>>
>>2852001
I wonder if Chance is trying to build a set of armor out of dismembered bodies?

... one of those breastplates should of been two gauntlets, I'm sure you guys got the idea

You tread carefully down the hallway. It is the smallest place you've been in thus far, and that fact is forever in the back of your mind as you walk down. The air cools, and the red glow of the spire room dies down.

Saffron runs up to you, and you can see her tail wagging.

"Renne! I am so happy to see you, you have no idea! I was gonna climb back down right away, but then I found... this..."

She holds up the piece of armor for you to look at. You squint at it and look over at Chronicle, who's staring at it wide-eyed. You tell her that you had to leave because you heard Chance making some noise a level down in the spire room. You ask what the armor does.

"I have no idea, I tried to put that stone into it, the one that we picked up in this room, but nothing happened."

You use your magic to lift up the armor, although it requires much more effort than you would have thought. You carefully remove the bones from within the armor.

"Diamond dog."

You and Saffron look over at Chronicle.

He's speaking in a very flat tone. "That's a diamond dog arm. The armor... it was made for a diamond dog."

He looks over at Saffron, who shies away a bit.
