(Anyone that rolled 10 or higher knows that the noise came from very far above, at least 100ft above you; the others are unsure how far away the noise came from.)
Syndra turns to the group; "Do we want to go floor by floor, or to fly?" She speaks in a low tone, trying to keep the room quiet.
"Oh", Syndra says. "Come here, let me check." She then kneels down to examine the boots; her eyes glowing with magic. "Not quite attuned yet, but it recognizes your energies; which is what we needed." Syndra stands and looks around, up towards the ceiling. "If we want to risk taking the time, I can cast a ritual that will allow you to attune to any magic object that you have yet to attune with; as long as you've recently spent time with it. Do we want to take this risk?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shalech shakes his head in despair, "Risk? What is the point of having these if they don't work for us? Now that we've come all this way, now you offer to cast this magic on us for these items to work? This feels like a trap!"
Shalech insight check to discern if Syndra is legitimately trying to help us attune to these items: 19
(Syndra is legitimately trying to help you attune to these items; which normally takes several hours to occur. Good roll.)
"I can cast fly on anyone without an item to do so; myself included. So, are we going the quick route then?" Syndra says, looking ready for action. Her robbed purple dress flops with her onto one of the couches. "Come, sit; this will take a few minutes." Another object crashes upstairs, followed by a loud scream of anger; muffled by several walls, but still able to reach you though it's ghostly howl.
Syndra looks up. "That is Surrisk's voice, though strangely distorted. He sounds... occupied. This will be the best time to cast this ritual; sit in these couches and chairs around me; they were intentionally arranged to benefit ritual casting." She pulls a large scroll from her leather satchel, as well as several objects; trinkets of magic.
Lura is handed a parchment with strange writings printed on it. Urselles, you are handed a potted plant; covered in tiny spurs. It has a sunken area on one side, that creepily resembles a face. Shalech is handed a wooden tray, covered in colors. You can see pretty much every color but black. Nathan, you are handed a small crystalline glass and a waterskin. Kizori is handed a small block of ice, still frozen and cold to the touch.
"Bring forward any items you carry that you wish to bond with. This ritual with also inform you of the abilities of your items." Syndra helps you arrange the items around the ritual area, and waits to begin when everyone is ready.
Shalech takes off the slippers he wore to get to the tower, and a small wand secured to his belt and impatiently waits for the ritual while casting furtive glaces upwards.
"Heh, I can block her with my shell. It's pretty hard." Kizori chimes in, vaguely gesturing at Syndra. He then takes a cloak out of a pouch on his pack. "I'll do this thing. It's nice." Kizori sits in a chair as directed.
Nathan looks up, and shudders, then sighs: "Well, it might still be less dangerous then walking and triggering who-knows-what traps. I'm in, let's do this!" Nathan does as he is instructed by Syndra.
(Shorthanding the ritual due to too much anxiety over making it cool sounding, thank you for your patience.)
As the ritual proceeds, everyone keeps their eyes on the ceiling and their ears pealed, but Syndra keeps it quiet and it is presumably not noticed as you continuously hear the sounds of objects slamming and breaking upstairs.
(You have now bonded and gained the knowledge of an identify spell on any gear you choose. If you need details on any objects, let me know.)
As the ritual finishes up, the sounds upstairs stop suddenly. You are unsure on if, whatever it is upstairs, has somehow sensed the magic of the ritual completing.
Urselles clicked her new boots together as the wings on the boots actually started to move and the goblin took of the ground by about a foot “ah, oh god I’m actually flying, how is this possible, ahhh” Urselles was both in aww and terrified

Syndra shushes Urselles; "Not too loud, incase." She moves over to behind where the wall sticks out; and you now realize that it is actually a circular chamber with no door, just an open archway, and it is completely empty. It has the room for two people to stand side by side, and there is no ceiling. As you look inside; you see it goes up for likely a hundred feet, before opening to the sky above. Additional archways line the chamber, all along the same side of the wall; six in total. Syndra says; "Those without flight, stand next to me."

"I don't know how to fly though." Kizori says to Syndra. He gestures to his back, but then decides to double check for wings.
Shalech shakes his head in despair, "Risk? What is the point of having these if they don't work for us? Now that we've come all this way, now you offer to cast this magic on us for these items to work? This feels like a trap!"

Nathan brshows Síndra a small ring. "What happens to us if we are flying, and something happens to you? Do we all just fall down?
"Um." Syndra says with a pause. "Y-yeah, you would." She looks upwards, concerned.
Urselles steps forward to Atune her boots of flying “well, we can just keep you safe right“
