OH IS THAT ALL

[The Crossing, Dafora Row] The town wall marking the Eastern Tier continues north-south along here. A back door with a thick iron padlock is opposite the wall. You notice that there are marks and scratches around the padlock, as though it had been a target for thieves. You also see a red moonbeam, a red moonbeam, a grumpy Shadow Servant and an intricate symbol painted on the wall in bold strokes. Obvious paths: north, south. >l sym A stylized flame bound in a square has been drawn in blood on the building's outer wall. Now dried, the symbol sticks to the wall in black streaks.

You may be able to piece together more about the symbol with careful study. >study sym You carefully study the bloody symbol. You recognize that it is an arcane symbol used to describe a rare permutation of the Fire Manipulation book. It describes standing flame, like a torch. Alchemists use this symbol to represent a crucible: both the physical device and the metaphoric qualities of a crucible's flame, depending on the context. Roundtime: 20 sec.

[The Crossing, Lorethew Street] This narrow road runs east-west between the Academy and many of the town's shops. To the east you can see the low shops and hedges that surround the Town Green, while west looms the tributary river, flowing on its winding course south into the mighty Segoltha River. You also see an intricate symbol painted on the wall in bold strokes. Obvious paths: east, west. >l sym A cross with a curly underline flourish has been drawn in blood on the building's outer wall. Now dried, the symbol sticks to the wall in black streaks.

You may be able to piece together more about the symbol with careful study. >study sym You carefully study the bloody symbol. You recognize that it is a short-hand symbol used by Throne City researchers. It denotes "divergent result," used when an experiment produces a result the Moon Mage did not anticipate. While rare, portions of astrologer short-hand has gained use in other academic settings. In particular, many members of the Asemath Academy faculty use it as a blunt "failure" grade. Roundtime: 20 sec.
