Swamped Chapter 211 Page 23

There’s an impression on the ground. It’s shaped vaguely like a footprint, but it looks too small to have been left by the tunneler. It doesn’t look like a human’s print, or that of any creature you can think of, for that matter. Perhaps it’s from some kind of tool on a stand?

Wait. You don’t need to speculate, you can use time magic to see what actually happened here. You concentrate on the print so you can try to see events from when it was made.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t clarify a lot. You see the eggs floating, and it looks like someone’s carrying them, but you can’t see the actual person. It reminds you of how you couldn’t see Vol. Is this his work, or could there be someone else similarly protected?

But there’s another object moving with the eggs. It must be what made the print. It’s hard to see what it is, though. As best as you can tell, the person you can’t see is interfering with your view of it somehow. Maybe they’re holding it closer than they are the eggs.

Still, you do see a significant clue at the precise moment that it makes the impression.

  1. The eggs are tilted at the same time the print is made, which implies whoever was carrying them held either a crutch or a cane.

    The way the print is made, reminds you of the extendable quarterstaff

    You feel a surge of strong energy, so the print was probably made with a magic relic of some kind in order to make a seal or good luck charm

    You hear the rattling of chains, perhaps they were using some sort of small device and needed to throw an anchor down
