Chapter 37

We were given three days to get ready for our excursion south.

It was early evening by the time Umi-Doo released us, so we all went to have dinner before separating into two groups, with Myria accompanying Nuralie to her alchemy shop and Lito accompanying Xim and I to my underground lair. After getting Xim and Lito settled in their guest accommodations, I spent the evening meditating, working my aura, and helping Grotto use the mana that we… acquired from the Artemix group.

There was 84,000 mana, which would allow 8,400 additional cubic yards of space, assuming we wanted to spend it all on raw size. I had a few other ideas, though, especially since we were about to go on a somewhat lengthy road trip.

After all, who wanted to sleep on the dirt when we could have more comfortable accommodations?

First, I added a thousand cubic yards to the top of the main room, creating a vaulted ceiling. This would allow Grotto to begin adding additional size to the obelisk by creating a new “shell” that could fit on top of the original. Doing this over time would create an increasingly powerful obelisk with many layers, like a big pointy onion, and each layer could be mana-woven with additional enhancements or functions. The core was currently focused entirely on gathering mana, and Grotto advised that the next layer do the same. After all, more mana gathering helped us snowball the Pocket Delve’s growth even faster.

I then spent the rest of the mana making three additional rooms, separated by walls, with spaces where doors could be set. I adjoined these rooms to one another, then created a long hallway which led to the obelisk room. That way, I could keep any guests separate from the more sensitive areas of the Closet.

The first room was focused on lodging, with a basic barracks feel. I was able to move the Closet’s entrance to this room, which gave me some ideas about spooky things like disappearing exits and shifting hallways. Those ideas went on the List.

After speaking with Nuralie about the length of time it took to practice her alchemy and the difficulty of “brewing on the road,” I decided the second room could serve as an alchemy lab for the time being. The third room would be a general-purpose practice and training space.

I spent the next morning acquiring some doors, basic furnishings and supplies, and one sturdier, reinforced door to block off the obelisk room. It probably wouldn’t deter Myria or Lito if they really felt like snooping, but it was an obvious sign that said “off limits.”

Satisfied that I had the requisite furnishings and fixtures for my expanded Closet, I spent the afternoon doing something I really should have done earlier.

I went gear shopping.

Lito and Myria were happy to provide me with a few recommendations, and they both agreed that my best bet to find quality gear for my “early career” was a place called Seinnador’s Combat Regalia. Lito and Xim accompanied me to the store, then moved on to make some purchases of their own while I perused.
