Merric's injuries seem to be minimal.

Yup! Doin' great.

So what now?

I need to bring his armor, and the Jewel of Air, to the surface, as trophies of my victory and his death.

With their leader dead and the Jewel in my hands, the Air Tribe will collapse.

We still do need to switch the temple away from air. We seem to have done most of the legwork for that, but Cryostoria did say the final key lay inside the inner chamber.

That's true. If we truely want the Air Tribe to completely surrender, we have to change the temple still.

We don't know how things are on the surface, though. We're too far down for me to reach my brother with my link to let him know.

I hope a war hasn't started.

It seems advisable that we split up, then.

Some of us go back to the surface, while the rest of us stay down here and try to figure out how to switch the temple.

I agree. But who goes where?

I will go back to the surface.

As the bearer of the Jewel of Fire, and now having claimed the Jewel of Air, I will need to be the one to present that Cryostoria is dead.

I'll need to go back up to get news to my brother about what's happened.

I would like to see what's still down here.

Someone will need to make sure these two don't get into trouble. I will also go to the surface.

Looks like Merric, Sky and myself will explore the inner area, then.

Oh! But that leaves no one I have a strong mindlink with down here.

I should forge one with someone, so our two groups can communicate, with me as the conduit. I should be able to reach here from the surface.
