As you make your way through the mountain, you notice a rather deform mask confusing itself with the rocks, it relly looks like an actual rock...
But how did the mask ended up there? Better to leve it there, maybe someone else is looking for it...

What is with all these masks?!

The one in the woods had burned Cloud's hand. He wasn't so sure if this one was any different.

Only one way to find out.

Cloud reached out and tapped the mask. Nothing. He tapped it again. Once again, nothing. So, Cloud, doing what any person would do, took the mask.

OOC: I hope this is ok, if it isn't ill edit my post. I made Cloud get burned in the last one because i was unsure.

"So the mask was lying there" Alex looked at the place where Cloud found it
It was a pointy rock where the mask somehow got hung
"If whoever took the mask dropped it, he was running from upper range of the mountain"
The wall was surprisingly easy to climb, as many rocks were standing out and it was easy to grab them.
It wasn't long before they reached the summit of the plateau; there were marks of a fight there, cracked rocks, deep footsteps, slashes on the floor and even burnt parts of the ground.
"It didn't happen long ago, maybe a few days" Alex knelt and felt the burnt ground.
"But if there was a shrine, where would it be?"
Thought there obviously there had been activity in the place there were no signs of a cave, an entrance, nor anyhting like it.
"I don't get it..." Alex sat on a rock looking around for any thing out of place

OOC:...

A deku's small form could be seen rising from the horizon, in a majestic half-sneak, half-"let's-get-this-over-with" type of walk that comes from long journeys. Especially this one, he realized he had spent hours following this Zora for the sole purpose of seeing why he had this mask. In retrospect, he was angry because he could have chosen something much more productive. He decided that since he was here, he should at least see why he came all this way, he hoped that the mask served a greater purpose than simply covering one's face. Approaching Alex silently, he took a seat on the ground at the base of the rock.

"So, why exactly have I been following you from that Mask guy's shop?"

Alex looked at Grenada, who had been following him silently, he knew that the answer would likely be of interest of a mercenary...
"These masks" he said "Sealed four dangerous beasts, able to control some elements of the nature; now an unknown group released them accidentally, by taking the masks away from their shrines, and they were attacked by the same beasts they released and they dropped the masks on the way; you can see the marks of the fight right here" he pointed around to show the scratches from the struggle "Ciro, the salesman, thinks they wanted to sell those masks in the black market, south of Mido, as this masks and some other things that can be found where they come from, are worth some money there" he stopped a few seconds to see the expression on Grenada's face "but the important thing right now is to return the masks to their shrines in order to seal the monsters back" Alex then looked around again "But the shrine is supposed to be somewhere around here; there are no marks of it..." Alex ignored Grenada for a second and scratched his head "Would you happen to notice anything out of usual?"

OOC:You know the rules of a quest, I can't help you with puzzles

Well well.. thats quite a story isn't it, Azador jumped of the hill
sorry that i have been spying on you..

Azador walks to Alex,
i already haired about these mask creatures from the mask sales man,
I would like to join..

so...need any help?

heheheh, i'm here! kasei appeared from the shadows... hey, I have a mask, let me look in my bag.. here!

Rose climbs up in time to hear Alex asking Grenada if anything looks out of the ordinary. She starts looking around the summit. [Awareness check]

Rose's awareness check succeeds[16ROLL+3INT=19/10]; a few steps away, she spots a square dusty tile on the floor, everyone aproaches upon the discovery...
After Alex removes the dust over it, a symbol is revealed, everyone gasps after recognizing the very familiar and unmistakable sign.
"The triforce..." says Alex under his breath
The traingles were engraved deeply in the grey square
"Surely this got to be some device to open the shrine, but how to activate it?"
Alex tried to remember the times he saw a triforce tile

to bad this ain't the real triforce, it ain't floating, or talking to us.... the one in the dark realm was much better!

well.. i think we need someone with curage,some one with power, and someone with wisdom to open it

wisdom refers to a magician of some sort
strenght refers to a warrior or a strong person
and courage refers to a hero or gaurdian

I am a magician my self,
but what about the other two?

"I think we have the three of those, but the tile didn;t have any knid of reaction, so it's probably not the way to activate it..."

OOC:Oh! c'mon, think a little old school

OOC: Old school, eh? Very well.

IC:
"Sometimes the correct solution is the simplest one," Rose says. She then steps on the tile.

Rose felt a little vibration on her body, like a little shock of electricity, the tile started glowing in an intense gold light...
The earth starts shaking enough to weak your stance, some pebbles start jumping around like crazy...
Then, out of nothing, in the ground opens a squared hole in front of the triforce tile; it is big enough to allow a couple of people to enter at the same time...
Inside the hole you can see steps going down deeply into the hole, most of the corridor is dark, but you manage to see a faded light at the end of it...

"Well, I guess we better go in," Rose says. She walks down the steps, wondering what's waiting for her down in the hole.
