The colored runes

event Magic Circle · Events (all zones)

You arrive at some strange circular ruins. In the center, you can see a magic circle and around it you see twelve plates. Each plate has a rune and a different colored gem set in the center. You inspect the runes carefully and see that when you press on them, the gems lights up and goes out after a while. Upon further investigation, you realize that some of the runes are missing the gem and do not work. You also discover that you can make a combination of three runes before the gems go out. It seems dangerous to try more random combinations...
