None of the symbols on the throne correspond to any of the symbols on found items as far as can be told and a brief search reveals little.
The robed figures lowers its hood revealing a human man with burn scars across his form, " Uh......perhaps....it took him many years to reconstitute himself....."
" Which one of you is the new ruler of Firetop?"
"Come over to my friends, and ask your question." Tannin says in common "I'm sure, they will have some questions for you." he threateningly gestures with his sword, "Come with me, or I will drag you by the neck!" he searches the man for weapons, spell focuses and memorabilia, takes it away (Including the robe if he is clothed underneath) , then takes the man to the group. He says to his friends "This 'man' has what we 'seek', Knowledge." then he mentally says to everyone, in the group, "Though, I wish it, I am sure this is not, over."

The man comes over seemingly little bothered by the change of circumstances, he wears little under his robes and is only carrying two flasks of blue-green liquid and an emerald ring on his left hand, all of which Tannin takes.
Tzedaka completes her healing ritual. (Do we have a way to deal with all 4 elements...its been so long, I don't remember what we obtained?)
"Dis mountain was taken from dee Dwarves by Zagors family, and we vill allow dee dwarves to decide your question. However," she looks at Enwynn, "Enwynn of the forest and Erillia will hold interim rule over it until dat time. She is fair and impartial."
She goes back to dealing with the elements (perception/ investigation): 10/18
"From what I know about the elements there are four basic kinds, fire, water, air, and earth. Now we just captured a fire elemental, so unless we find more elemental essences not yet used we have to find and capture 3 more elementals."
Banzo then ponders for a moment.
"Do we have the different containers necessary or do we have to search further?"
(Ooc: I do t remember her, but I think we have three. Garret found one, Tzedaka one, I thin another somewhere near the resting bench, but can’t remember.
(
To assist-
The goblin you spoke to mentioned one of the priests carrying metal shapes in a bag towards this area.
Garet found the electrum cube of Fire hidden in a trapped wall space.
Banzo found a mithril pyramid inscribed with Air.
)
"Does anyone remember exactly what that goblin told us before, something about one of the priests carrying metal shapes... those are probably elemental essences, or at the very least the containers we need to capture/hold/carry them."
Banzo begins to examine his shell for any fresh marks that may mar it.
Tzedaka will search the priests (from first room if needed.)
"I believe this Man, wants to know, who's going to be, or 'wants' to be the ruler, of Fire mountain"

Tzedaka looks at the man, “do you have a bag width metal for Dee ceremony?”
she asks the man, smiling at him.
”I am a priestess, tell me of Dee ritual you ver performing on Zagor, so that I may better understand.”
Persuasion 21 with guidance
Enwynn sits up and says "Thank you." to Tsedaka quietly, then looks around, wondering if Zagor is truly dead this time, and if any other foes remain.
Finding the situation well in hand, and her comrades alive, she sits a moment longer, just glad to be alive, and murmurs "Oh Mothers of wood and stone, thank you both for another day to annoy evil in."
Indeed, she is basking quietly in a hard-won victory when Tsedaka calmly states "Enwynn of the forest and Erillia will hold interim rule over it until dat time. She is fair and impartial."
Several expressions cross the elf's face in rapid succession in response. Utter surprise, concern, then delight as she realizes that if there is any possible way to forge an unlikely alliance between dwarf and goblin clans, then maybe it can be found here in Firetop Mountain...
By the time Tannin says "I believe this Man, wants to know, who's going to be, or 'wants' to be the ruler, of Fire mountain" Enwynn has sufficiently recovered her wits to offer "That depends. Can anyone truly rule Firetop Mountain in the knowledge that the most ah, well-known occupant being likely to repossess it?" then looks to the priestess as she quietly adds "I will guard this place in the Sisters names until a better guardian can be found."
She casually wipes the ashes off her black-gloved hands and looks Banzo's shell over carefully as she whispers "There was a broken container in the rubble of the old mine works tunnel, I think? It had a water sigil on it. I do not know if that is relevant, but it may be. If there was anything else there I do not recall it."
Tzedaks smiles at the elf, "The container width the water symbol is important and should be retrieved. Dee eelements can be used to remove your tattooed, and...we may learn more about Zagor from my new friend."
"So we have 4 eelements.
"Garet found the electrum cube of Fire in dee trapped space., Banzo has a mithril pyramid width air, Tannin identified dee brass box width fire eelement in the grubs, and now vee can retrieve water."
Enwynn
As Tzedaka talks to Enwynn, she notes there is something not right about Tzedaka. There are veins of bright light coming from a few areas of her hair and skin, as if something tore during the last battle against Zagor. The priestess does not seem to notice yet, intent on questioning the survivor.
Banzo holds still as he notices Enwynn helping check his shell. "Thank you. We need to make sure Zagor is dealt with, if not permanently then at least for now. That means if we can't get answers from anyone in the know then we'll just have to keep searching until we're satisfied."
The scarred man nodded.
" The priests gave The Master a bag containing two metal shapes....I believe one was earth aspected and the other water."
" Whilst I did not perform the rituals myself.....there was a resurrection rite some years ago and then various rituals to bind body parts to his form as the resurrection rite was very incomplete. I believe the Master planned to use four elemental essences to permanently bind his body together and infuse it with the powers of all four elements......at least that was my undrstanding."
The man bowed before Ennwyn, " I wait to serve Mistress.....though you will first need to speak with the drake....it is likely to have designs of its own once it realises that Zagors bonds on it are fading...."
Enwynn apologetically offers "I must confess that I am not completely sure of that memory, but given a little while and rest, I may be more certain. If I am wrong, it still provides a place to start searching for it."
OOC: I'm not sure about that water container and location myself, as it's been a while, but I will go have a read back and see if Enwynn knows what she's talking or not.
Burned Man: " I wait to serve Mistress.....though you will first need to speak with the drake....it is likely to have designs of its own once it realises that Zagors bonds on it are fading...."
The druid raises an eyebrow and asks "I suspect you are not talking about a duck's mate, but something rather more reptilian. I would like to know more of this drake you spoke of, we all would in fact, but first, would you please tell me, what is your name? You already know mine, I am Enwynn Of The Forest, and apparently now also Of Firetop Mountain." and smiles in reassurance.
She thinks further on the burned man's likely history under a master such as Zagor as she studies the Tortle's shell.
OOC: Enwynn's Medicine check on Banzo's shell integrity is 19 total.
The same look of concern crosses the elf's face as her gaze alights on the priestess, and her first response is an instinctive one as she puts a hand on Tzedaka's shoulder and murmurs a plea to the Mother Of Elves to aid another kind of sister in need.
OOC: Enwynn quietly casts Cure Wounds on Tzedaka for 6 HP worth of healing.
Only then does it occur to her to ask "Who caught the fire creature then? The last thing I remember before darkness fell on me was a great roaring of furious heat and light..."
OOC EDIT: Enwynn is not a telepath, and sorry for any confusion about that on my part, Stormbringer4729.
The burned man looked away, " Once I was Kulrun of Oakwall, Sworn to Filash......now I am simply Robe of Red."
" The dragon.....I will not speak his name....he hears it no matter how quietly you whisper....."
Ennwyn can determine that the man is not entirely sane....but he seems harmless for the moment.
She thanks Enwynn for the healing. The glow still escapes from parts in her hair and face.
Tzedaka will consider the man's words (She knows Filash is the god of fire in the celestial court). To the man.
"Robe of Red, Is Zagor destroyed, or did he go to another place of rest? I ask you to please tell me the dragon's name, as he hears it anyway, so that I may address him properly when he arrives. I am a priestess of libra and I shall speak to him.
(Perception: Is Zagor dead or does Tzedaka suspect he disappeared like a vampire: 12)
"Cheroes, I suggest you search dee room and dee throne for tings that may be of value to you."
Once he's reassured his shell is fine Banzo will begin to look around the throne for any signs of levers or buttons, anything of that sort that would of aided Zagor without him having to move far from the throne itself. Also, any scrape marks on the floor, disturbed dust or dirt patterns, and anything odd or out of place that doesn't serve a reasonable function (ie. a second footstool or side table etc.).
"I'll try and figure out what he kept within arm's reach or at least near at hand."
