Dionysus As you pass through the door, a voice says, "What is your worth?" The room you are in is a small chamber in front of a huge vault-door.

• Aurelia looks for the source of the voice.

Dionysus No source.

Aurelia "What worth? To who?"

Dionysus No answer.

• Aurelia approaches the vault door.

Dionysus It does not move

• Aurelia tries to open it.'

Dionysus It doesn't.

Aurelia "To who? To my mother? Everything. To the Maraddon Emperor? An empty title. To the Tamarnthek Emperor? His life. To Kashaji? Loyalty. To Bartleby? A kiss."

Dionysus The door swings open.

• Aurelia hesitates, then starts forward.

Dionysus It swing open when you said that about your mother. It didn't stop after that, but you find them irrelevant.

Dionysus You see a room full of coins & jewels, jewelry & gems, clothing, weapons, armor... A gold leaf wedding dress stands on a stand in the corner, the most beautiful dress you've ever seen. A suit of red chain mail lies across the top of a chest with a black helmet with a spider design upon it lying atop it. A silver glowing arm moves of its own accord in the piles of treasure, & a portrait of the most beaut

Dionysus iful woman you've seen stands on a wall, 20' by 10'. A tiara on a stand feels like an empath to you, & a ring lying on the ground seems like it is sucking on your emotions like a babe to its mother's teat. Behind everything, a huge, rusted airship stands over it all.

Aurelia What does the ring look like?

Dionysus Red & green bands twisted around each other, capped with a sapphire (stone of love) & a slice of green jade (envy).

Aurelia Neat.

Dionysus The tiara is draped in opals & beats like a heart.

Dionysus A pithc black violin lies in the midst of some clothes.

• Aurelia looks around uncertainly.

Aurelia What is the effect of the emotion sucking? It drains emotion away?

Dionysus It more seems to just tweak at it.

Aurelia The ring.

Dionysus You "wake up" outside the inn with the ring.

• Aurelia puts it at the bottom of her bag.

Dionysus Where do you go?

Aurelia Does that muffle it any?

Aurelia ...Is the ticket still missing?

Dionysus Yes.

Dionysus The ticket is missing. It is not muffled.

• Aurelia looks inside if no one is outside.

Dionysus Just Jack is inside, of the band.
