Ashes: -nods- That's how it works, last I checked. And I spent a lot of time on this plane.

Six: So effectively, whoever takes that stone is stuck here forever.

Ashes: No, that's not what I meant, you will all get back no matter who grabs it.

I, however, am tied to this place. No telling if I'll be with you for the trip back.

Ashes: Got a long story with Dagon and his Deadlands. -pats his armor-

Let's take this bloody stone already. I'll give ya a longer storytime later.

Ashes: Anyways! Enough chattering about me, I'll let you do the honors. Kill a Thalmor or two for me if I don't make it back with you today, yeah?

~those with a particularly good hearing might perceive a commotion going on on the lower levels of the tower~

-One of the few advantages of being turned into an elfin girl is the pointy-eared tendency to pick up on stronger sounds. Something Charles realizes-

Charles: Hurry! There's something going on further down there!

~so is anybody trying to go for that sigil stone or...~

~because either way, the commotion is getting louder, and even those with less good hearing can start to hear gunshots and explosions below~

-Since Ashe isn't grabbing it, and the other Ash isn't touching it, Charles tells Deathclaw to fly up and grab the artifact-

-Which it does-

~Deathclaw, please roll me a strength check for trying to remove the Sigil Stone from its pedestal, because despite seemingly hovering in the air it doesn't seem to budge~

~your tremendous strength causes the Sigil Stone to budge a little, but it quickly snaps back into position, anchored by an apparently unsee force~

~you're gonna have to either apply a lot of force, or disable whatever force is anchoring this thing here~

-Welp, Mindy looks around to see what exactly is holding this thing in place, if that's even something you could discern by looking-

-Deathclaw makes a very loud screech of annoyance at that-

-So...Charles tries to judge the structural integrity and strength of the giant metal needle itself-

~the Sigil Stone is hovering above the center of a platform on the upper level, with no apparent thing actually supporting it~

~the Spike looks like it's made out of a dark, solid metal and thus *quite* structurally integer~

~it also seems to protude from the floor, possibly being large enough to reach into the lower areas below the level you are currently on~

~and speaking of the lower areas, you can all now definitely hear loud yelling along with the explosions and gunshot sounds from the floor directly below yours~

Six: Oh, fuck this!

-Runs up and tries to tackle the Sigil Stone out of whatever's keeping it in place, betting on mass and velocity to do the job-

-Well, Six weighs about as much as a car, and is charging at the Sigil Stone at the speed limit of a small town when she tackles it-

-So that is one hell of a lot of force being applied-

-But will it be enough?-

~you hit the Sigil Stone and push it off the platform, but doing so almost feels like running against a giant rubber band: The further out away from the center you try to push the Sigil Stone, the harder it resists you, pushing back against you and very quickly killing your momentum~

~you have about 0.05 seconds to decide what to do next before... well, you'll see~

~meanwhile, everyone who has been watching Six do this and has good eyes might have seen a shimmering, silvery string appear between the tip of the metal spike and the Sigil Stone once Six pushed it far enough away from the room's center~

~and those with good hearing might notice that the loud noises coming from below have gone awfully quiet, even though it seemed they were right behind the door leading to the lower levels just a moment ago~

Charles: ?

-Deathclaw has a moment to give a very confused cat noise while staring at that string-
