You're onto something. The other pillar reacts similarly. Liquid on the other pillar as well causes it to react. They seem to turn as if turning into place. The ground shakes and vibrates as they do.You've been able to get four of the pillars to do something.
The reactions from those on the island vary. Dark Mother looks on approvingly. The one by the ruined stairs seems mildly interested. The one with the little pile of stones is awestruck.
The twins begin running in hurried circles.

Odysseus asks to the inhabitants how do they usually lit up a fire, if nobody else replies, he tries on his own with sticks and such, though he obviously has no clear memory or idea on how to do it
@dm: please decide which is the better skill to roll, you can directly roll for me
Moreover, if you want to stop while recruiting up to you, let me know.
We’ll hold while recruiting. The other folks just kind of dropped up. We’ll pick up at this point with your character trying to figure out a fire.

No worries, MonoLOUge. We’ll keep you. This is slow moving, but I typically try to post something at least every 4 days. We’re all busy so I get it. I’ll take one more from the peeps interested and unfortunately cut our member that hasn’t posted in some time.
Thank you for being patient and great players.
To your player question about causing a fire...you can certainly try it out..

"hmm I don't see any fire... but maybe this might help" Lulu casts thaumaturgy, as he puts the wood he had down and hit a rock against a rock... trying to make a fire out of the sparks that happen within them.
Thanks for the patience, folks as I look for a replacement.
To your spell and rock smashing attempt: (Remember back earlier in the posts where magic might not be as intended or a way to get it working may present itself?)
Ember like sparks move from your focal point, failing to catch alight the wood. It seems to “want” to work, but there’s some trouble with it. Perhaps something is missing? Hard to tell. Memory is hazy.
A cough and a chuckled laugh can be heard from the figure with the big hat sitting on the ruins of what was once a temple. The figure seems interested in what you’re doing.
Perhaps this mysterious person has something to help?

“Well, hello there young one”, the figure greets to you upon your question. Bright green eyes glow from the darkness the large hat provides. Well dressed in a long flowing robe and large brimmed hat, the figure stands. “Yurik Tol-Ven at your service. I’ve a particular interest in your group”.
As he states this, one of them, the player that has been rigid for some time, begins to dissolve into the ground in a black ash heap. Creepy. (The one we lost -inactive) Seeing the scene play out, Yurik continues. “So you need to light a fire, hmm?” He clicks his tongue a few times. “I can help you regain your magical abilities lost, but there is a price. A price of a part of your soul, should it depart with your body. Is this an acceptable offer?” He smiles wide. “Oh, and the fire, yes. I can cast the magics associated with such a spell for you, but first the bargain. Do you accept?”

Then he says, "I don't even remember anything or what im worth. But i know for sure either way, when my soul leaves this body someone is taking it. Take it if you must but please give some of it too, to the person I hold dearest. Promise me this and everything's a done deal."
As lulu reaches his hand out, like someone who wants to shake someone's hand
Odysseus look at Lulu, it doesn't hide his discomfort, especially when the statue turns to dust, he takes Lulu aside so that the other cannot hear
"Lulu pay attention, we know nothing about anything here. And then, even if we had any magic, we cannot remember how it was, who can tell what you are going to sell your soul for? He can give you a trinket saying that was your magi... Let me try to work it out with good sense"
Lookin Lulu with sympathy
Ooc: if Lulu accepts, please read on
Odysseus walks toward Yurik "nice to meet you, Yurik. I hope there will be plenty of time to bargain but whichever bargain must pondered. See? We remember very little about our skills, let alone our soul: how can we bargain if we don't know what both sides offer. Let us understand more and we can get back to you with an answer. All in all, you know, we just asked for a fire, a not really magical thing, I guess. If you are willing to help, since you have an interest in us, we shall consider your help as an act of good will, maybe even a beacon of newborn friendship, surely you will have two persons more inclined to bargain "
The paladin surprises himself for the clarity of the speech, during which, even if talking about friendship, he is cold and rational, like one doing business
Odysseus smirks having understood the meaning, he punches the other stone with same rune.
About the pillars with wavy signs he thinks about water but, before going back to the beach, he simply tries to spit on the symbol
"maybe it's just whatever liquid"
If it doesn't work, he searches for any possible recipient, goes back to the beach, takes some water and the spills it on the symbol

Ooc: does the inhabitants have fire going? A torch, a lantern, a fireplace, something?!

No fire that you can see going.

*player : sorry lol have been reading it was just staying in chara and was sitting lol
Lulu gets off his ass, and looks at oddyseus
"what happened? did you find anything?"
"I would like some help, do not give in, I guess we need to touch those stones marked with flames with some fire..."
,
"I see..."
LULU gets up, and looks around
*player : follow up question, can i use thaumaturgy/booming blade/divine favor to cause a fire?
