Kaelestia
Hp: 10/12 - AC: 5 The more she heard about that place, the more Kaelestia had a weird feeling of familiarity about it, although she decides to ignore it for now. " We should try to obtain an hearing with this Archmage that person spoke of. I wonder if he will be at the temple to pray with the others, maybe we should start our search there." - she says to the others.

"Suggest we get use to it quickly?" Sumina asks after the person that explained the place left. "Something doesn't feel quite right, but that Archmage seems like our best bet."

Sha'al stares, as if in a stupor. In a sofy voice he recites, in a voice so low only his conpanions can hear, the words of the arcane caster who set them upon this path... "The Dust of Time where Time Stands Still as dust in Eternal Night Where dust should run. Let the dust gallop from yesterday Like centaur's hooves in a dry wind On desert plains He who passes a Nothing Peril Seven grains is the second Key..."
He nods, almost unseeing, or seeing something beyond normal sight as he walks almost unconsciously towards the massive hourglass

While the party discusses their options, Sha'al wanders away from the group, heading toward the hourglass. It sits in the center of the town square, at least ten feet tall and shimmering with magical power. The sand within is partially poured down from the top, but frozen in place, forever stuck in time and never emptying entirely as a result.

Arthogate does as the others and tries to just do what the local says is the routine. Though if there is ever an opportunity he will ask a local "Just curious what year is it?"

Parra sigh and put her books back. "Well.. I am in no hurry." she say looks stammered. "Why dont we stay and study this place?' she say with awe. And maybe steal some artifacts and books, though she isnt saying this aloud.
Her ears perk at Sha'al chanting the riddle-song. She follow along. "....You think this place exist out of flippering time?" she ask. She touch the hourglass. "This would be.. a powerful magic."

Sha'al nods. The sand is the key, I'm sure of it...
(Is there any obvious way inside, or are they still much too far away?)

"We are probably going to have to find a way to get our hands on that sand," Sumina says.

"Who even knows anymore?" replies a local to Arthogate, before moving on.
From what Sha'al can see, there's no openings or hatches on the giant hourglass. The only way to access the sand within would be to break the glass.

"Before we go berserk, maybe we should why it is like that?" Parra say and tap the glass "Or there is another source of this sand"

Kaelestia
Hp: 10/12 - AC: 5 " I agree with Parra. I think we should have a better grasp of the situation at hand." OOC Actions do we see the temple they were talking about earlier from where we are? If yes, Kaelestia'll go take a look there.

Arthogate agrees "Aye, hate to say it but let's observe and see how things go before we try anything drastic."

Kaelestia can see the temple to Paladine from here, and it seems that it is where the locals are flocking toward at the moment.

"If you guys are thinking of following the locals, I'm not going in there," Sumina says.

(Is there any visible way under or atop it?)
