Aberresai Savannah - Deep In the Wildlands
Amos sat underneath the expanse of a tall canvas tent, a blissful reprieve from the ever pressing sun above.
They had been at the ruin for nearly a week now, allowing the Guardsmen who had come with them to begin the excavations. They were sure that the right location had been found, but digging through so much sand and rock had taken a surprising amount of time. Amos had suggested using some of his crystals to simply blow through the debris, but the others had quickly ruled that out.
It was likely they would be needed for other tasks, and in truth...they weren't sure if the blast would damage whatever it was lay beneath the rock. It was of course, a good point, but Amos had not considered it until someone else had brought it up. His work did not often deal with the past, and in truth he wasn't entirely sure why he was here at all.
House Luana had requested he tag along, the ruin beneath the sands apparently having something of interest that he might be of help with.
Just what that might be still escaped him however, and thus for the past week the sickly scientists had simply toiled away at his own minor projects as the others continued to excavate.
He had wanted to help of course, but given his...condition, it was all rather for naught. Holding a shovel made him look practically a fool, and it was obvious he was better off simply working on his own things. Once they actually managed to get into the ruin things would be different, there some of his inventions would actually come in handy.
The one consolation he had in all this, was the making of a new friend. "I suppose we should be glad they built this city next to an oasis."
Amos commented quietly.
"I think this would be even more dreadful without the fresh water." He said, taking another long swig from his flask.
