Do you need help getting out of here again? Although you got in here by yourself, so I deem it unlikely...

Hey, um, the ritual should be ready now, if you want to come oversee it!

Ciernen: excellent. I'll be right there.

*he is there momentarily.*

[keanoris]

Well then, you have my utmost thanks for assisting me in this endeavour!

You wanted to oversee the ritual, right, so, did you spot anything amiss, or am I 'good to go' so to say?

Of course! I planted this tree myself, and when it first sprouted, we formed a pact: it would lend me its magical potential, and in return, I would protect it from harm. Additionally everything the tree gives will be returned to it in due time, such is the circle of life.

Well, I've been drawing on this tree's magic for millenia, so I hoped to be able to enhance the ritual with its help, and it doesn't seem to have backfired at least!

*You hear as the room slowly begins to fill with the humming of various of the orange vines, until they eventually all pulse together, like one great heartbeat. When it calms, what follows are the gasps for air of a young man lying in that pod as his body breathes for the first time. When he sits upright, you can see what looks like part of a tattoo of a tree on his upper back? It's hard to tell, as he turn to you and grins*

(Gonna be my new pfp (picrew by @\maetheellen))

Looks like it worked out pretty well!

*Not a minute after the required time for the rite has passed, Gobbo's breathing finally halts, his body goes limp as presumably the stress of the temporal speedup has caught up with him. Everything is eerily silent in this moment, but you know that if everything went well, his soul should be transferring to the body in the pod right now*

*Gobbo keeps breathing, but it gets harder every second. He'd thank you for the support if he could muster up the strength, but it's not much longer he has to hold out for. The ritual should only take a couple of minutes, then the original body could die without consequences*

[keanoris]

Very well..

*He recites the ritual from the omnibus, fully intertwining the fabric of his soul with the body before him. After the last line is spoken, Gobbo collapses to the floor, breathing heavily*

I dont think anyone will be joining us. That is to say, I didn't invite anybody, so I'm hoping nobody will show up!

*You find yourself in Gobbo's workshop, someplace clearly underground. The walls and roof of this room seem to be loose earth, and there's roots coming out from a central point in the ceiling that grew along the walls of the room, forming some sort of supportive pillars. All over the room there's orange glowing vines like cables, as they are pulsing and humming constantly. They converge in the center of the room, where, almost like a chalice made of wood, seems to be some sort of pod. Gobbo is standing there, leaning on it as to not fall over, Omnibus in hand, ready to recite the last few incantations needed for the locking ritual*

Ah, Ciernen, thank you for coming!

[keanoris]

Alright fantastic, see you then!

*Once again a Portal opens nearby, the same Woman is standing on the other side*

Hello? Did i get the location right again?

Ciernen: off by a few centimeters.

Ceirnen: but you otherwise got it right.

[keanoris]

Fantastic, then please meet me tomorrow in my laboratory. Are you capable of portal magic, or should I open one for you?

*Once again a Portal opens nearby, the same Woman is standing on the other side*

[keanoris]

Great, then I'll perform that tomorrow. Anything else I should look out for, any last warnings or hints?

[keanoris]

Ok cool, and this ritual is also described in the omnibus, I take it? If not, would you mind helping me perform it?

[keanoris]

Okok, I think that I should be abke to sustain such an anomaly, at least for a day, but it would probably burn up this body...

But you're saying that after this "incubation period", I shouldnt need to take any further steps to complete the binding of the soul?
