Zen's eyes fall on the helmet and matching set of armor, an amulet, and a small cloth bag Yaeth pus on the ground before him.
"The helmet and armor are nothing magical but they will offer some one in your party protection better then the clothing you all where. They where last worn by a Man of [great] honer who fell pray to a lust that led to rage he dishonored himself allowing his brother to take the fall for many of his own vices it was Justis in the end that led him to be down here and he could not swim well with it, sacrificing it to the water to make it on to the next room only to die there. I am the keep of the books down here. You have asked how long I have been here, and the facts are as such. I chose to be hear when this place was created. I took on the mantle and role I fill as keeper of the books. The guilty will offer a loss to my wealth and the innocent may take a gain. There have been far to many innocent people in the last 6 months to fallow the last 99 years of guilt ridden fools."
The Old man binds over picking up the Amulet. "Oh I haven't seen this one in a while. Amulet of Sight it allows the owner to see the truth of a creatures form and to Spot with the keen sight of an Eagle." As he sets it down he takes note of the small clothing bag. "That bag is a trick in its self. I would not recommend you taking it but I will leave that to you to decide. In it is Fire sand from the deep deep South far past the footsteps of Man. The sand inside that bag will ketch fire and burn the moment it touches earth. Its flames are hot and its fire will last for a day. Try not to spill it."
He smiles then takes a look at the strong silent Alexander.
"I was at the last battle in the war and stood watch from a far as the boy burned off the red mist. When his master dropped the goddess my lover came to me and asked if I would take on a role as keeper of the books till the master was well and could return. I had already swear my life to the boy for his action to save the last of my kind. To take on a role as guard to his masters tome was more of an Honer then you mortal can ever understand."
The old man takes a deep and Heavy breath, he breaths out slowly and the room grows even colder as it has on every lasting word from the man.
"While you and your group may not want to take on a story of old, of a group of innocent harts led on a quest deep in to the worlds core, it is what is needed to restore balance to the world. Mark's Actions would only hold the Mist of red back for 100 years. And it has been 99. You, your group must step up to for fill the need and wake the wisest fool, the old master and creator of it all. You must ask him to reforge the dragons blade and you have him do this before the day marking the end of the war. If your friend is right and it is late spring and nearly the festival of flowers overhead. Then you have little time. I would gather only a couple months. If your group fails. The only place that will be safe will be in places such as this where the light of day is not the only thing that will never reach the depths of this hell."
He scratches his head then sighs.
"I did not mean to dump such a heavy wait on to your shoulders you are all so young to have to take on such a task I am confused why the Gods and Goddesses have chose you for this task. Likely they must be offering you some assistance unseen, but you can not rely on there help in the darkest hours some battle must be waged while standing alone."

Yaath the purl is of water breathing. You can ask Izumi or Zen to look it over for you if you need.

Yaeth will thank the dragon for his insight and will ask him if there is any thing else down in his treasure that will be useful for this party in its quest to survive this trial and see to it that the red mists do not come back and dragon blade be reformed. Would he assist us in getting the items that can prove useful to us here in this room?
Yaeth will pick up the armor and offer it to any of the fighters same as the other suit of armor. As a ranger he prefers light armor to assist him in the skills he has devoted his life to. He will place the amulet around his neck. Yaeth will show his pearl to Zen.
"That is a purl of water breathing. Swallow it and Breath like a fish for as long as it stays with in you. Mind you clean it off well between use."
Yaeth slips the Amulet of Sight on to his neck and in a moment his eyes sharpen gaining a sight had not before. (+5 to spot.) as he looks over toward Zen and the rest of the party the Mans form stands before you but a Flash of an image of high in Detail floods over your mind of [great] and towering Silver dragon Gargantuan and towering overhead.
The image of it is only there for a Split moment in your mind then its gone and you only see the man before you. Blinking several times in a light case of shock Yaeth looks over to his party mates Another flash this time of a Huge silvery serpent with the head of a Dragon and a monster like claw flashes before Yaeth. A Ravid? But, what triggered it?
"I don't mind taking a look to see if there's anything more I can offer your group to help, but I will have to wait till your slow moving Friend down there clears the pool, I would hate to Crush him on landing by mistake." Zen glances over at the look of light shock on Yaeth's face. "Did you see something you where not ready for boy?" He adds.

Yaeth just looks at Zen and states, "Yes I did see things that I was not prepared for. As for you I just did not realize how ancient you were. I am very humbled to make your acquaintance great Worm. Yes any help you offer will be taken with great honor."
Zen gives out a hearty chuckle a large smile across his face. "I am not quite a Worm yet good man, all be it I will be before the end of 2 years more." Then he adds. "I look foreword to spending that Title in the light of sun and open sky's souled the red mist be halted from its return."
"So then. Do you know what you saw?"
"Good you understand. I can see it in your Aura. And as I told you, not all your Help is apparent." Zen looks down at Felipe who is the only one left that has not climbed up to the bank. Then the old man looks back at the group of faces each watching his every move.
"So then how low are you on basic supply? Are weapons and armor more important to you or would flint and steal and a way of producing rations be more a gift then any thing for this group?" He asks with a grin.

In Game: Felipe says to Izumi, "Sure Izumi here " Felipe gives Izumi the amulet of protection and the amulet of healing. After that Felipe thought to himself I better test all these stuff later. After a while, Felipe sees Proas waving at him and he says to him "OK I'm coming!" After that Felipe takes the stuff with him and he begins climbing up on the rope.
