"Humm... More riddles. Great. Mr. Nimbatuul?" Kazri steps aside so the Dragonborn can enter the room.

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
Krom nods as the dragonborn corrects him "The draconic form for plurals is a bit tricky to remember for an old dwarf like me." He replies with a chuckle. The dwarf expression grows into a more serious as he addresses Rhogar's question. "Unfortunately, I haven't prepared that hymn. I didn't think we would have need of such specific blessing." Krom pauses, thoughtfully stroking his beard. "However, I do have the means of contacting one of the All-Father's servants, we could seek their guidance, but their answers are seldom straightforward." Reaching into his pack. Krom pulls out the Professor Orb and holds it up, "Or we could ask the Professor. He is an expert in all things Netherese, I'm sure that he knows the names we seek."
The dragonborn chuckled as well, before his expression too returned to something approaching seriousness alongside Krom's follow up response. And while quick to nod in understanding and agreement at the first, seeing the Professor Orb once more immediately elicits a defeated hiss from Rhogar. "... Right... The professor, then. Better to avail ourselves of a resources less taxing, even if that resource is a condescending construct. Which given what I know of the Netherese themselves, I suppose it was ever to be expected out of anything of their design."

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
The Professor Orb nearly snorted in disbelief at the question posed to him.
"Somehow you expect me to know the names of wizards from a civilization that ended thousands of years ago? I am intelligent, clearly more intelligent than you, but I couldn't rattle off a list of names like that. You will have to seek that information elsewhere in the city. Maybe that robot brain lady Veneranda could tell you."
Rhogar lets out a long, withering sigh, before shooting Krom a pleading look, as if asking for the dwarf to promptly stow the Orb now before it can utter another derivative remark. Once that is hopefully done, the dragonborn went on to address the group. "There we have it then. Though we may lose a fair amount of time backtracking at this point, given the circumstances and the lethality of their defenses, it may be more prudent to make the journey over solely brute force our way past every obstacle... least we find ourselves too bereft of resources when it truly matters. I... *sigh*... I for one say we backtrack, but as ever shall I defer to the rest of youl."

Krom nods to Rhogar and swiftly stows the Orb back in his backpack. "I was hoping for a different outcome" the dwarf says with a sigh, "but considering our previous interactions with the Professor, this was to be expected..." Resting a hand on the head of his warhammer, Krom continues. "I agree, Rhogar. It's wiser to backtrack and gather the knowledge we need rather than try to force those enchanted doors open. Hopefully, that construct, Veneranda, will prove more cooperative than the Professor."

Chill steps into the room with the others. Hearing what Rhogar tells them he wracks his brain to see if any name was mentioned at any time.

It was as bad as Rhogar feared it would be.
