fourth ⚡ hidden city and golden keys
Type: Video
Sender ID: ramuhs (Cid)

Subject: Golden Keys and other related matters
Warnings: None
Greetings and salutations. For those who may not know me, I'm Cid and I have a bit of an inquiry and suppose "announcement" regarding some recent ventures I had with Benedikta and Shadow not too long ago.
[Both are not in the camera frame, but they are lurking in their own ways—]
First—
[He holds up one of the golden keys that have been sought after lately.]
I would like to know if anyone else has managed to acquire one of these golden keys.
The reason for it is we have found where they are to be used. Going back there is a bit... Difficult at the moment, but we know the place exists.
I won't bore everyone with the story, but we fell into a hidden city underground that was preserved in such a way that it almost felt as if it was frozen in time. This city clearly had some important and reverence for the dragon Ancient, Sarht, and it included what we believe may be a temple. There was a large stone tablet that had holes that fit these keys perfectly, and once inserted, echoes of battle cries could be heard.
We believe using all these keys will open the doors of that temple.
As for the rest of the city, the only other thing of note was there was an area that looked to be decaying in some form, perhaps from some powerful poison. We brought back a sample and will be testing it, but should we find access to this city again, best be prepared. It's proven to be quite potent, perhaps fatal with no immediate known antidote.
[Another wave of the key.]
But that's all. I'll be happy to answer any further inquiries.
[Note: Cid will be mostly replying, but Benedikta will chime in more regarding the keys and temple findings. Shadow is just lurking.]

no subject
Only from what I've heard from the rumors and others that happened to encounter him.
What kind of impression did he give you?
no subject
Well, besides the whole air he wanted going on... not bad. We had a round and he's a pretty good opponent one-on-one; seemed to enjoy an 'honorable' fight. Anyway, he gave me something you're looking for along with those words.
no subject
[He muses, already having a few thoughts, but his attention will return to Wriothesley at that.]
He gave you a key? Really?
no subject
[Then again, it didn't feel like a gauntlet situation.]
He did... and I bought the tea so he really was a merchant, haha.
no subject
no subject
[And don't ask how, but Wriothesley will pull the key out of his rolled up sleeve.]
no subject
[He's seen things pulled out in many strange places, a sleeve is actually at least somewhat reasonable. But he'll take it and hold it close to examine it, brushing his fingertips over the inscriptions.]
Can't say I'm an expert, however this looks very similar to the ones we have.
