"No thank you," you say. "I guess it'll just be--"

"I'm not asking for much!" Tol says with desperation in his voice. "Just something simple, like hiding valuables where no one would think to look!"

"No thanks," you say as you pick up Tol's spirit paper. "Tol, Spirit of Shadows, I dismiss you."

"You're no fun," he grumbles. "Just like your ancestors."

You tear the paper and Tol disappears.

"Well, with only five of us, things will be a bit slower," you say. "In which case, we should get going or this really will take all day."

"Yes, Lord Seventh," the three remaining spirits say together.

"Can't we just cut this tree down at the root?" Raven asks as she points to the part sprouting out of the book.

"No, no, you mustn't rush this," Udwa advises. "Trying to break seals out of order could cause massive amounts of magical feedback that cuold not only damage what is enchanted, but the area around it."

"Meaning us," you say as you motion to you and Raven.

"Well, when you put it that way," Raven says. "Where do we start?"

"I see plenty of my seal," Faraera says. "And Paeshae's."

"That makes sense," you say. "I'm sure all these books are Enchanted in order to be safe from fires or damage."

"I see only a few of my seal," Udwa says. "But there are also many of my sister's seals."

"Uidre, right?" Raven asks.

"Yes," Udwa says with some surprise. "How did you know that?"

"Well, I was just reading a book on Druid Spirituality, so it had information on the Spirits themselves."

"I'll call upon her for help in Tol's place then," you say.

You draw a new diagram and the blue Spirit of Water swirls into the room.

"Greetings, Seventh Rorek!" Uidre greets with her bubbly voice. "Greetings, sister! Oh my, what a large tree of seals."

"Yes it is," you say. "And we were hoping you'd help us pick it apart."

"Certainly!" Uidre says.

"Is there a way to sort these out so we can keep better track of them?" Raven asks. "It's such a jumble."

"Of course!" Uidre says. "Shall we, sister?"

"Certainly," Udwa says. "Faraera, Paeshae, if you would be so kind."

The spirits work together and pull the branches to make them into brackets like on a chart.

"Now it looks more like a rhythm game," Raven says. "Like Simon or something."

"Oh yes, Simon," you say. "That's a classic. What say we play it like that, but with calling out the spirit names? I'll handle Faraera in red and Paeshae in yellow while you call on Udwa and Uidre."

"Deal," Raven smiles.

The two of you stand together facing the bracket and begin from the top.

"Paeshae, Faraera," you begin.

"Udwa, Udwa, Uidre, Udwa," Raven continues.

"Faraera, Paeshae, Pashae."

"Uidre, Uidre."

"Faraera, Faraera."

"Udwa."

"Faraera, Faraera."

"Uidre, Uidre, Uidre, Uidre, Udwa Udwa, Uidre Uidre Udwa."

"Faraera, Faraera, Paeshae."

"Uidre, Uidre, Uidre."

"Faraera, Paeshae, Faraera."

"Uidre, Udwa, Uidre."

"Faraera, Paeshae, To-- Are you serious?!"

Staring at you almost tauntingly is Tol's symbol.

"That was like, what? 36 seals in?" Raven protests.

"And it looks like that's the only one," Paeshae says. "Are you going to give him what he wants?"

You grumble as you glare at the seal.

A) Yes, call Tol back
B) No, use another way
